TRADE IN MUNICIPAL TOWNS

The exhaustive and accurate statistics of the volume and value of imports and exports in respect of all the municipal towns are not available. The octroi collections of the municipalities, however, give a rough idea of the imports. Octroi is collected only on imports and not on exports. Hence, the statistics are available mainly in the case of imports. In some cases only the figures of quantity are available while in others those of value are available. As the figures are calculated from the octroi returns of the municipalities, no statistical accuracy is claimed for the same.

The following statement shows the volume and value of imports and exports in 1957-58 in respect of important municipalities in the district.
