Government caps MEIS benefits available to exporters

02 Sep 2020 Evaluate

The Directorate Generate of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in its latest notification has said that a limit has been imposed on total rewards under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS).  The total reward which may be granted to an IEC (Import Export Code) holder under the scheme shall not exceed Rs 2 crore per IEC of exports made in the period September 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

Further, it has been notified that any IEC holder who has not made any exports for a period of one year preceding September 1, 2020 or any new IECs obtained on or after the date of publication of this notification would not be eligible for submitting any claim under this scheme. The DGFT also said that the MEIS will be withdrawn with effect from January 1, 2021.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that 98 per cent of the exporters’ claim of MEIS will be unaffected by the changes.  The unaffected exporters who have already factored in MEIS in the pricing of their products do not face any change or uncertainty since neither coverage of products nor rates of MEIS will be changed.  An advance notice of 4 months of the end date of MEIS provides certainty for the future pricing decisions.
