The Federation of Surat Textile Traders
Associations (FOSTTA) has announced plans to publicly name textile distributors
defaulting on payments beyond the 180-day credit period. The decision was taken
at a recent forum meeting with the aim to tackle mounting receivables and cash
flow challenges in the Suart textile hub. Traders say delayed payments and
returned unsold goods are straining small businesses, often leaving them with
out of fashion or damaged stock. FOSTTA will verify claims before listing defaulters
on its mobile app to ensure transparency. The federation is also considering
stricter credit norms, including limiting credit to 70 days and restricting
returns to 30 days.
