DGFT Policy Circular No-13/2007 dated
1.10.2007
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.
