Transferability

4.4.6

Once export obligation has been fulfilled, request for transferability of the Authorisation or the inputs imported against it may be made before the Regional Authority. Once, transferability is endorsed, the Authorisation holder will be at liberty to transfer the duty free inputs, other than fuel and any other item(s) notified by DGFT for this purpose.

However, in respect of Standard Input Output Norms, which are subject to “actual user” condition or for import of fuel under the general norms or where Standard Input Output Norms allow import of Acetic Anhydride, Ephedrine and Pseudo Ephedrine, DFIA shall be issued with actual user condition for these inputs and no transferability shall be allowed for these inputs even after fulfillment of the export obligation. Transfer of items that are restricted for imports or the DFIA for such items shall be allowed under the DFIA scheme only against a specific import licence for that item.

However, for fuel, the import entitlement may be transferred only to the companies which have been granted Authorisation to market fuel by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas.
