Relief  in  cash  transactions  under  section  269ST  of  the  Income  Tax  Act: In  order  to remove  difficulties  in  cash  transactions  by  cooperatives  under  Section  269ST  of  IT  Act, Government has issued a clarification that cash transaction of less than Rs. 2 lakhs done by a cooperative society with its distributor in a day will be considered separately, and will not be charged with income tax penalty.

39. Rs.10,000 crore loan scheme launched for strengthening of Sugar Cooperative Mills : Government  has  launched  a  scheme  through  NCDC  for  setting  up  ethanol  plants  or cogeneration plants or for working capital or for all three purposes. So far, the Ministry has released Rs. 875 crore to NCDC (Rs. 500 crore in FY 2022-23 and Rs. 375 crore in FY 202425)  under  the  scheme  and  as  of  now,  NCDC  has  sanctioned  80  loans  amounting  to Rs.9,169.76 crore to 44 CSMs.

(NFCSFL) for conversion of existing molasses-based ethanol plants of CSMs into multi feed ethanol plants. The Cooperative Sugar Mills (CSMs) also produce ethanol from molasses and sugar syrup by  installing  ethanol  production  plants.  However,  the  availability  of  raw  material  i.e., molasses  and  sugar  syrup  for  production  of  ethanol  is  limited  by  many  factors  viz, Government Policy on diversion of sugarcane syrup, B heavy molasses for production of ethanol and duration of sugar cane crushing season and availability of sugarcane depending on rainfall, etc. On account of these limiting factors, the CSMs having ethanol plants are not able to operate them at full capacity round the year. The Government of India has prioritized maize for production of ethanol, therefore, it is prudent for CSMs to convert their existing ethanol  production  units  into  multi  feed  ethanol  production  units  so  that  they  are  able  to produce ethanol by using maize as raw material.
42. Reduction in GST on molasses from 28% to 5%: Government has decided to reduce the GST on molasses from 28% to 5% which will enable cooperative sugar mills to earn more profits for their members by selling molasses to distilleries with higher margins.
