Representations have been received from trade and industry to clarify whether the restriction is applicable for DFIAs with ‘No BG/LUT’ endorsement or endorsement of transferability.
The matter has been examined and accordingly it is clarified that the restrictions on such transfer is limited to advance authorization and DFIA Scheme issued and operated under Actual User condition. Once transferability is endorsed on the DFIA, transfer of the imported/domestically procured input(s) against such DFIA shall not be covered by the restrictive clause of the aforesaid Public Notice.
