Messages from the President, Capexil
My Fellow Exporter Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic marks an unprecedented time and the world is at a crisis situation. There are thousands of people dying all over the world and the effect is not only on the lives and health of the people, but also have brought the economic momentum to a much lower trajectory. With no cure, yet discovered, the only way to prevent the disease is to stay home and social distancing.
Situation like this would require support to team up with the government initiatives to scale up governmental efforts to fight this epidemic and to help those in distress.
In order to tackle with this pandemic Hon’ble Prime Minister has created a special fund PM CARES to fight against the COVID-19. The donation made to the PM CARES Fund shall be eligible for 100% deduction under section 80G of the IT Act. Further, the limit on deduction of 10% of gross income shall also not be applicable for donation made to PM CARES Fund.
At this moment, the affected people in India will need help to tide over the viral disease and in this scenario, CAPEXIL has decided to stand with our distressed fellow countrymen and actively partake in the national effort to support them at this difficult time. Even the Council official / staff are donating one day of their salary for this noble cause.
To provide much-needed relief for the people affected by the viral disease and those who are in distress, CAPEXIL as partner to Nation Building, appeal to all its Members to donate generously for this noble cause to come out victorious over the common and deadly enemy, COVID-19.

My Fellow Exporter Colleagues,
The world around us has been undergoing tough unprecedented challenges arising out of COVID-19 pandemic; which is yet unfolding; disrupting whole industry and exporter fraternity and social strata altogether. Central government and State Governments have taken up drastic measures including locking down whole country for 21 days to impede the cascading trigger impact of this catastrophe. Covid 19 has created paramount fear and alarm in the minds of one and all.
Countries across the world are grappling with containing the spread of Coronavirus through various measures such as lockdowns, travel restrictions and health advisories. They are also bringing out economic policies to assist in tiding over the crisis situations. CAPEXIL captures these advisories and the latest developments on the policy front in the world which will enable businesses to judge the impact on their operations.
In consultation with industry members, CAPEXIL is continuously compiling immediate business challenges across multiple sectors for minimising the fallout of emergency Coronavirus health measures on the economy. As a partner to Nation Building, it is our constant endeavour to keep our member updated time to time during this critical time of COVID 19 and thereby facilitate our member exporters in all possible ways & means to advance their export interest across the globe.
Council would like to brief your good self with following update / development:
- In order to give relief to businesses and affected individuals amidst the stress caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic, Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry has introduced several relaxations and extensions in deadlines etc. with regard to compliances mandated under its schemes and activities.
