Subject: Regarding COVID - 19

Dear Member,

The Federation would like to inform its Members that the required measures are being taken to tackle the impact of the pandemic COVID – 19 on the Hospitality Industry. We have been circulating to all Members, advisories issued by the Government of India at regular intervals. Also, FHRAI, in the last one month - advocated strongly - both directly and through various other industry associations platforms to the Government of India seeking support in terms of sops, subsidies, tax relief, waiver of GST for six months at both Central and State level, deferment for fiscal statutory compliance deadlines such as  direct and indirect taxes including  paying EMI’s, reduction of bank interest rate, and a special package for the hospitality industry. We shall keep the Members informed of the updates in these matters.

We are working on a modus operandi to align the Hospitality Industry to stand together and put its best efforts to reduce the impact of the disease, by taking all necessary measures as issued and advised by the Government on regular intervals. We are once again attaching herewith the copies of the advisories issued by various departments for your perusal.

The Hospitality fraternity has always been the most sensitive in terms of hygiene and in offering the best of the services. Maintaining the legacy, especially in the hour of dismay, we wish to thank and applaud the efforts of the Members in taking adequate measures, well in advance, to battle the spreading of the disease. The strict implementation of these measures for both staff and guests has significantly helped the hospitality industry in sustaining the trust of its Guests which has been bestowed upon it for many decades.

We would like to ensure our Members that we stand in solidarity with them and shall put our best efforts to seek best possible remedies from both the Central and State Governments in the form of sops, incentives, and other related benefits for the industry.

Be safe. Be healthy.

Thank you,

Gurbaxish Singh Kohli
Vice President
