Bareilly, Read. Sunil J Singhi, Chairman of the National Traders Welfare Board constituted under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, has said that considering the pace of economic development, it is necessary for traders to go digital.

This is an open source e-commerce initiative, which will connect buyers, small shopkeepers and logistics companies. Merchants can open an online store through the app in the form of Digi Dukaan.

Singhi said that the Center has canceled many such laws of the British era, due to which businessmen had to go to jail. Now special attention is being given to the welfare of the traders as well as the workers working in the establishments. Mudra loan limit for traders has been increased from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh. The loan limit in MSME has been increased from Rs 5 crore to Rs 10 crore. Business is increasing due to GST reform process.
