Status Holder Application -  Amendment in Para 3.20(b) of

 

Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20.

 

Dear Member-Exporters,

 

We would like to  inform you that that the  O/o Directorate General of Foreign Trade, New Delhi  has issued Notification No.04/2015-2020 dated 29 th April, 2016  regarding amendment in  criteria of Status Holder application as in Paragraph 3.20(b) of FTP 2015-20:

 

You are aware, that currently an applicant is  categorized as status holder upon achieving export performance during current and previous two financial years, as indicated in paragraph 3.21 of Foreign Trade Policy. The export  performance is  counted on the basis of FOB value of export earnings in free foreign exchange.

 

However, as an effect of this amendment/ notification, t he criteria for recognition as status holder has been changed w.e.f  01.04.2016 to the exports in the current and previous three financial years from the existing criteria of current and previous two financial years  (excluding the Gems and Jewellery Sectors).

 

Members are  requested to take note of the same.

 

 

Thanking You,

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Deepak Gupta

Deputy Director
