Relief in Average Export Obligation in terms of the para 5.19 of Hand Book of Procedures (HBP) of FTP 2015-20

 

The para 5.19 of the HBP of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2015-20 (extended upto 31.03.2023) envisages that to provide relief to exporters of those sectors where total exports in that sector/product group has declined by more than 5% as compared to the previous year, the Average Export Obligation for the year may be reduced proportionate to reduction in exports of that particular sector/product group during the relevant year as against the preceding year. This implies that the sector/product group that witnessed such decline in 2021-22 as compared 2020-21 would be entitled for such relief. Accordingly, the following list is annexed:-

Annexure-I – A list of such product groups showing the percentage decline in exports during 2021-22 as compared to 2020-21.
