                         Trade Organization (Amendment) Act 2022 Read with SRO.1057(I)/2023 dated 08th August 2023.
 The Election schedule for the Annual Election of the Pakistan Chemicals & Dyes Merchants Association was earlier notified vide circular no 01 dated 14th July 2023.

Recently, Ministry of Commerce, Government of Pakistan, issued a notification vide SRO1057(I)/2023 dated 08th August 2023 and aligned the trade organization rule 2013 with the amended section 11 of the Trade Organization Act, 2013, amended through Trade Organization (Amendment) Act, 2022. 

In the wake of the above said amendments in terms of the tenure of the office bearers, as well as members of Executive Committee of the Trade Organization is deemed to be two years, with effect from 01-10-2022 to 30-09-2024.

The statutory provisions laid down in TOA (Amendment) Act, 2022 and TOR, 2013 preclude the Secretary General of the PCDMA and or the Election Commission PCDMA to conduct any pre-mature Election. Hence the Election Commission PCDMA has decided to withdraw the Election Circular 01 dated 14th July 2023 and all subsequent correspondence with regards to the Election 2023-2024.
