FTP - Release of Beta Version of online ANF3A
IN its mission to improving 'ease of doing business' and move towards paperless submission and processing of various applications under Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), Government has released a Beta version of online ANF3A and it is now possible to not only apply online for claiming rewards under MEIS but also to upload the required supporting documents using digital signatures of the applicant. As a result, henceforth, in case the applicant submits the supporting documents online, along with the application, submission of physical copies of documents (other than 'Proof of Landing' and shipping Bills in case of exports made from Non EDI ports) would no longer be required.
All IEC holders/applicants are encouraged to submit/upload the documents (including 'Proof of Landing') online using digital signatures. In case of documents submitted online, the concerned RA shall not insist on physical copies of such uploaded documents.
