The Rubber Board Act of India mandates its IAS Chairperson to safe guard interests of Rubber using Industry as well as Rubber growers; But, historically, it has been conducting itself as Rubber Growers Board Chairperson, resulting in: a) shifting the liability of Cess on Rubber from growers (@ 30 ps./kg.) to user industry (150 ps./kg.); b) non-abolishion of Rubber Cess (levied when Rubber price was sub Rs.4/=/kg.) even after this eco-agro produce fetching over Rs. 220/=/kg.); c) freedom to EXPORT even though Rubber is a net scarce commodity; d) restriction on IMPORT, subjected to Custom Duties, forcing Industry to be dictated by Kerala growers / dealers - mostly indulging in hoarding practices; e) maintenance of Short-availability even during peak production periods, thereby keeping Rubber prices jacked up for undue over-remunerative prices for such hoarding dealers/growers/estates; f) non implementation of e-goverance in The Rubber Board; g) Board members dominantly from growers lobby, making Industry representation almost ineffective / meaningless; h) overlooking of price-band getting ignored at times when duty free Imports and Ceiling on domestic Rubber price need to be enforced; HOW CAN SUCH INDIAN RUBBER BOARD BE TERMED really INDIAN ? nirmfed HONY.
