Shoes, sandals and slippers will become expensive from August 1, know full details

Footwear prices Hike: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued new quality standards for all shoes sold in the market. Shoes made on the basis of the new standards of BIS will be stronger and more durable, but will also be more expensive. With the implementation of the new standards, shoes, sandals and slippers may become expensive from August 1. In these standards, attention has been paid to many aspects such as the quality of shoes, the material used and safety. BIS has made it clear that action can be taken against companies that do not follow the new rules.

This new rule has brought relief to small companies. Companies with an annual turnover of less than Rs 50 crore will not have to follow these standards now. Apart from this, shoes with old stock are also out of the purview of this rule, but information about these shoes will have to be uploaded on the BIS website.

Sturdy shoes will put a dent on your pocket

According to the new rule, shoe manufacturing companies will now have to follow two new standards of BIS, IS 6721 and IS 10702. With the implementation of this new rule, the prices of shoes are likely to increase, because companies will have to spend more to make shoes according to the new standard.

From August 1, new rules of BIS will be implemented on 46 items related to shoes. The bureau has put these rules on its website to inform people. According to the new rules, the items used in shoes like rexine, insole and lining will be checked. The outer part of the shoe will also be strictly checked.

Shoes will be stronger, more durable and more comfortable

The new rules will make shoes stronger and more durable and cause less trouble to people. The use of better materials will increase the cost of making shoes. But the bureau has not yet said how much more expensive shoes will become after the new standards come into force or how this increase will be reduced.

It is worth noting that the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) makes good rules for goods, processes, systems and services and checks whether they are being made properly or not. BIS makes rules for making good goods, then checks whether the goods are made according to these rules or not, and also tells whether the goods are good or not.
