Commerce Ministry reviewing FTP to resolve exporters’ GST related issues

24 Aug 2017 Evaluate

In a bid to help exporters deal with issues related to Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the commerce and industry ministry is reviewing the foreign trade policy (FTP). The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has stated that exporters are concerned as they have to arrange funds for payment of GST which will be refunded to them upon exports. It also noted that paying the duty first and then seeking a refund may lead to blockage of funds for over six months in many cases, thus affecting the competitiveness of exports.

For dealing with the issue of blockage of fund, the ministry has suggested to the GST Council that an e-wallet kind of mechanism could be evolved for virtual payment of GST so that the GST chain is not affected. Therefore, the ministry is looking at all these issues and that is why it is taking time to release the revised FTP.  Also, the ministry is taking exporters’ inputs and trying to address that.

Exporters have also raised concerns as implementation of the new tax regime has limited the use of duty credit scrips by them as these can now be utilized only for payment of basic Customs duty and not IGST.  As per the exporters, working capital of Rs 1.85 lakh crore will get stuck annually with the government under the GST. This would push up the manufacturing cost of the exporters as they have to borrow more from banks.
