KARACHI, July 8: Pakistan Knitwear and Sweater Exporters Association Chairman Rafiq Habib Godil has urged the government to immediately sort out the eligibility period for getting research and development (R&D) support.

In a statement, he said the members of his association have complained that State Bank of Pakistan has not included the claims of R&D support from June 26 to June 30, whereas the ministry of commerce SRO of 2005 allows R&D support to shipments made up to June 30.

Mr Godil said that the R&D support should be given on just and fair system and without any discrimination.
