Trade suffered a massive setback in Punjab due to non-functioning of computerised Information Collection Centres (ICC) set up at all the entry points of the state for recording interstate business transactions.
Hundreds of trucks carrying goods were left stranded at all ICC barriers at 36 locations across Punjab for the past two days as technical snag had caused breakdown of information collection process at all centres.
"Our trucks have been stuck at the ICC barriers across Punjab as Information Collection Centres are not functioning. Despite our repeated requests, nobody seems to be bothered to fix this problem," Punjab State Goods Transports Association, General Secretary, Sarbjit Singh said here.
Each inter-state sales and purchase has to be recorded at the ICC for verification where a copy of invoice and details of goods are submitted. Thousands of trucks pass through these ICC every day in connection with interstate sales and purchase.
Confirming the halt of process of information collection at all ICCs, H M S Rosha, CEO of Excise and Taxation Technical Services Association said, "This problem occurred due to the breakdown of main server caused by failure of BSNL lease line ."
However, he said, "We have now reverted to manual system of collecting information from truck operators for recording Interstate sales and purchases till the entire system is restored."
