seminars around implications of service tax for our members and staff to spread
awareness around the best practices for IT trade.”

for those retailers who are our members, the association will shortly launch a
retail campaign in Nagpur. While the advertising campaign will offer gift
hampers and a number of attractive prizes to customers, it will also go a long
way in ensuring that the IT business happens through our members who are also
genuine and authorized dealers in the region.”
