Garments are covered under textiles - DGFT
TEXTILES is one of the sectors entitled to Status Holders Incentive Scrip @ 1% of FOB value of exports made during 2009-10 and 2010-11.
The Apparel Export Promotion Council has informed that some garment exporters are facing difficulty in submitting their applications for availing Status Holders Incentive Scrip benefit as some Regional Authorities are insisting upon a clarification from the DGFT Head Quarters to the effect that garments are covered under the Textile Sector under Para 3.16.4 of the FTP 2009-14 .
So the DGFT has clarified that under Para 3.16.4 of the FTP 2009- 14 , Textile Sector covers textile garments as well.
The ingenuity of the babu in denying benefits, is simply remarkable.
