JOURNALISM OF COURAGE SINCE 1932 Dear friends and fellow member, Greetings from Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hope you are well and safe. For nearly 184 years, Bombay Chamber had lived up to its core theme – ‘Corporates for Change’. The enduring value guides us to face the difficult challenges of responding to the coronavirus (COVID -19). Importantly, the Chamber has been up & running. I would like to inform some of the activities conducted during the Lockdown period. E-Certificate of Origin – We are happy to inform you that the Chamber, adapting itself to this COVID-19 situation, took the initiative to issue Digital Certificate of Origin for supporting our members from the exporter community. Currently, we have issued a few thousand digital certificates to over 200 companies. We would also like to inform you that continuing our digital certification drive, the Chamber will be parallelly resuming its CO office operation/counters at Ballard office, as per the norms set by the State Government. Webinars – During this period, the Chamber has been conducting webinars on various topics covering areas such as legal, Taxation, Sustainability, Banking & Finance, Media, films, etc. You can visit to our website for more information. A total of 23 webinars conducted so far in April & May. Over 20 scheduled in the month of June. Legal and Labour Advisory Services (LAS) - LAS department has been regularly supporting members by providing opinion and advisory to our members on recent issues. All Advisories and Notifications relating to COVID-19 issued by the Centre, State Governments and other Regulatory Authorities are regularly uploaded on our website. Centre for Mediation and Conciliation (CMC) - CMC has been actively spreading awareness about mediation to resolve disputes even in the time of lockdown. CMC has successfully conducted and concluded remote mediations over audio and/or video conferencing. CMC has conducted webinars with expert speakers, published articles and interviews pertaining to issues or disputes and their resolution in times of COVID19. CMC, in collaboration with BW Businessworld, has launched an "Access to Justice" campaign for providing remote mediation services for resolving disputes. COVID-19 - Bombay Chamber had appealed to its members to contribute towards this cause. It is a matter of pride that our members generously contributed an approximate amount of Rs.61.8 lacs, both in cash and kind to assist the Government/Municipal Hospitals in and around Mumbai. Bombay Chamber has been diligently adapting to the new circumstances, while planning for the future. We are grateful to you for your continued support. Warm Regards, V. S.
