Rebate on sales of Khadi and Khadi products is made available by the Government so as to make the price of Khadi competitive with other textiles. Normal rebate (10 per cent) all over the year and an additional special rebate (10 per cent) for 108 days are given to the customers from funds made available through budgetary support of the Ministry of ARI under the Khadi Grant Head.
Rebate is allowed only on the sales made by institutions/centers run by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, the Khadi and Village Industries Boards and also at the sales centers run by the registered institutions who are engaged in the production of Khadi and polyvastra.
Further, on the basis of the recommendations of the Expert Committee an Inter-Ministerial Committee consisting of representatives from Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Rural Development and the Planning Commission was constituted to consider the continuity of the rebate scheme or suggest alternative to this scheme.
The Committee submitted its report in March 2006. Based on the report of this Committee, four pilot projects have been implemented in a few selected Khadi institutions over a period of two years. Final decision on the continuation of the rebate scheme or alternate to this scheme shall be taken based on the outcome of these pilot projects.
