Subject: Clarification on the availability of benefit of DFIA scheme for physical exports to RPA countries.
Trade and Industry have represented that exports to
Rupee Payment Area (RPA) countries are
entitled for Advance authorisation scheme in terms of paragraph 4.1.6 of FTP.
Since reference to this paragraph has not been specifically mentioned in the
said paragraph, a doubt has been raised by Trade and Industry as to whether
DFIA scheme benefit is available to exports made to RPA countries.
It is clarified here that the benefit of DFIA scheme
is available for exports made to RPA countries as well, subject to achievement
of value addition, either prescribed in DFIA scheme or as specified in Appendix
11 of HBP v1 or value addition prescribed for specific product (s) under
Advance Authorisation scheme, whichever is higher.
3. This
issues with the approval of Competent Authority.
