Association of Dental Industry and Trade of India

During the year 1975-1976, Delhi Sales Tax Laws were changing. ST 1 Forms were being introduced. Delhi Dental Dealers were given an option of charging about 15% - 16% as Sales Tax or instead sell goods against ST-1 Forms. To counter such problems a Delhi Dental Dealers Association was formed with Mr.Mushtaq Ahmed of M/s National Dental being the President, Mr.Phool Chand Mathur of M/s K.S.Mathur & Company as Vice President, Mr.S.D. Mathur of M/s Prem Behari & Company as Hony Secretary and Mr. Tilak Raj Seth of M/s Seth International as the Treasurer. Business followed with not much problems being faced by any one. About 7-8 years later, a Bombay Dental Dealers Association was also formed with Mr. Nitin Patel, Mr. Vinod Bawal, Mr. Abdul Sattat and Mr. Jehangir forming this association. Meanwhile, many representation were sent y the Delhi Dental Dealers Associations to the Local Government to come with a better sales tax scheme for the dealers. Soon the Sales Tax was revised to 8%. There were not much activities in the Delhi Dental Association or by the Bombay Dental Dealers Associations but just normal social activities like making a list of holidays to be observed by the Association and small social gatherings.
