Big players are active again in the computer import/export industry. This time they are seeking the ban for the used items getting imported in Pakistan electronics market. For this purpose they have approached The ministry of information technology for the complete ban of used electronic items specially IT accessories. Big players are bribe makers and the market big giant Intel.
Pakistan is moving ahead in the field of I.T and making its name on the planet. This success is powered by these used items which not only let us work on some economical basis. Almost more than 95% business in Pakistan are using these items to catch up with the competing market. Which in return makes a great profit in terms of taxes to the revenue of government already. If this is legalized with a proper check and balance system and bribed money is replaced by the official tax it would turn in many folds of revenue to the economy of the country.
Interestingly the ban is already present on the import of these items. The only route of getting them in the market is to bribe the customs officers. Each container of used items is cleared out to enter into the country with an already set price.
By the way a good a good opportunity awaits us at this scenario. This will be a win-win solution for both the I.T industry and economy.
To our demise this news is a shock for students. “Students will be affected like no other said – Munawar Mughal President of Pakistan Computers Association.
“Multinational companies are trying to get a ban imposed on import of second-hand computers to capture the market, but the government should realize that a large number of poor people cannot afford to buy a new computer costing between Rs25,000 and Rs45,000,” Mr Mughal said, adding that the price of a used desktop PC ranged between Rs5,000 and Rs10,000.
We hope authorities take decisions in the favor of the country up-growing industry. Their steps make us grow more.
