Shoe price hike- The new rule has provided relief to small companies. Companies with an annual turnover of less than Rs 50 crore will not have to follow these standards right now.
Footwear prices Hike: Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued new quality standards for all shoes sold in the market. Shoes made on the basis of new standards of BIS will be stronger and more durable, but will also be more expensive. With the implementation of new standards, shoes, sandals and slippers may become expensive from August 1. In these standards, attention has been paid to many aspects like quality of shoes, material used and safety. BIS has made it clear that action can be taken against companies not following the new rule.
This new rule has given relief to small companies. Companies with annual turnover less than Rs 50 crore will not have to follow these standards right now. Apart from this, shoes with old stock are also out of the scope of this rule, but information about these shoes will have to be uploaded on the BIS website.
Strong shoes will affect your pocket
According to the new rule, shoe manufacturing companies will now have to follow two new standards of BIS, IS 6721 and IS 10702. With the implementation of this new rule, there is a possibility of increase in the prices of shoes, because companies will have to spend more to make shoes according to the new standard.
From August 1, new BIS rules will be applicable on 46 items related to shoes. The Bureau has put these rules on its website to give information to the people. According to the new rules, the things used in shoes like rexine, insole and lining will be checked. The outer part of the shoe will also be strictly checked.
Shoes will be more strong, durable and comfortable
With the new rules, shoes will become strong and durable, and people will have less trouble. The cost of making shoes will increase due to the use of good material. But the Bureau has not yet told how much expensive the shoes will become after the implementation of the new standards or how this increase will be reduced.
It is worth noting that the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) makes good rules for goods, processes, systems and services and checks whether they are being made properly or not. BIS makes rules for making good goods, then checks whether the goods are made according to these rules or not, and also tells whether the goods are good or not.
