The following statement compiled from the
statistical returns of Sales Tax, under the Bombay Sales Tax Act,
1946, gives an idea of the volume of business done by big shops in
Kolhapur district:-
Since the turnover of most of the retail shops in
the district did not reach the minimum prescribed for registration
under the Act (Rs. 10,000 in case of importers and Rs. 25,000 in
case of others) quite a large number of retail shops fell outside
the scope of the statement. During the period under review i.e.
1956-57, there were 1,508 registered dealers and their total
turnover amounted to Rs. 30,28,45,000. Looking at the statement, it
can be seen that Kolhapur city had the largest number of dealers
(714) with a total turnover of Rs. 17,16,13,000 followed by those in
Ichalkaranji town (377) with a total turnover of Rs. 4,71,52,000.
The statement also reveals that largest number of dealers was found
in the group of " clothing and other consumer goods" followed by
those in the group of "Foodstuffs and Hotels". But the turnover of
dealers in the latter group was more as compared to that in the
former. There was a wide dispersal of shops registered under
"Foodstuffs and Hotels" and "Clothing and other consumer goods" in
almost all the areas except Shahuwadi and Shirol. Shops in the
groups of " Machinery and Capital goods " and " Industrial
Commodities" were found only in Kolhapur city and Ichalkaranji town.
While shops in the groups of "Building Materials" and " Transport
and Vehicles goods" were found in Kolhapur city and Hatkanangale and
Kagal. There were no shops registered in the group of " Fuel and
Power ".
