Clubbing of Advance Authorisations under paragraph 4.20 of HBP – DGFT clarifies

Representations have been received from the trade and industry that some of the Regional Authorities are not accepting the request for clubbing of advance authorizations in case the export product is different in two or more advance authorizations for which clubbing has been sought.

The DGFT has considered the issue and clarifies that as long as imported inputs (for which clubbing has been sought) are same, the facility of clubbing would be available for closure of the authorisations irrespective of the fact that the export products are different.
