The call for the bandh was given by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

Accordingly, CAIT claimed that 'Bharat Vyapar Bandh' has caused a loss of about Rs 1 lakh crore.

The confederation said it had organised the bandh to protest against the amendments made in the GST Rules on December 22 and thereafter.

Besides, CAIT said that bandh was against unethical business practices of foreign e-commerce companies those who are continuously and openly violating the FDI policy much to the disadvantage of domestic trade of the country.
