Vishesh Krishi Upaj Yojana benefits for export of Pepper
Export of Pepper under ITC(HS) Code 0904 was excluded for benefits under the above Scheme. Representations have been received requesting to consider Vishesh Krishi Upaj Yojana benefits on the premise that since the scheme was announced for the 1st time in Foreign Trade Policy 2004-09 announced on 31st August 2004, the exporters of this commodity have factored the component of benefits under the scheme while finalizing export contracts. The DGFT has given due consideration to the argument and decided that export of pepper covered under ITC(HS) Code 0904 shall be entitled for Vishesh Krishi Upaj Yojana benefits in respect of such exports made between 1.9.2004 and 26.4.2005 only.
