Department of Defence production waives off Quality Assurance charges

In a significant move to promote reforms and bring ease of doing business, the Department of Defence Production has waived off Quality Assurance (QA) charges levied by the QA Agencies. This industry friendly initiative, taken on Wednesday, would make the defence products cost competitive in global market. Charges were levied by the QA agencies and the industry was adding this charge to the cost of the products. But now these charges have been scrapped.
