A recent CAG report has confirmed that officials and other people at the helm of AEPC are misusing their powers and funds granted by the MOT (Ministry of Textiles), with little or no accountability on what they are doing for apparel exporters, which is one of the prime objectives of instituting the council. Be it the audit report which raises serious corruption charges against AEPC or reply of MOT to the Delhi High Court on the issue of Electronic Voting System (EVS), AEPC is under ‘fire’ for its defiance for refusing to be accountable. The only ray of hope is the struggle of few like-minded people of Apparel House Exporters Association (AHEA) who are fighting on various fronts for transparency in the working of AEPC.
