DGFT amends rules

* The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on Wednesday said it has notified amended rules for implementing all decisions of the policy relaxation committee regarding the levy of composition fee.

The directorate is extending the benefit of reduced composition fee for cases where it has allowed an extension in export obligation period and/or regularization of exports already made.

"The rationalization of composition fee calculations aids in automation and accelerated delivery of services by attempting to make the procedure simpler and more understandable," it said.

This will assist in streamlining the compliance process with minimal human intervention, reducing the risk of discrepancies and confusions.

"Automating the process will result in faster service delivery by reducing the need for manual calculations and paperwork," it added.
