Boards and also at the sales centres run by the registered institutions
who are engaged in the production of Khadi and Polyvastra. The
trading institutions which are engaged only in marketing of Khadi

an audit.
Rebate on Khadi
is being given for the last many years so as to make the price
of Khadi competitive with other textiles. Normal rebate all over
the year and an additional special rebate for 108 days is given
the customers and the rebate is passed on to the institutions
from funds available through budgetary resources. The timely announcement
of rebate helps the institutions to work out an action plan with
regard to their production and sales.
