It has been decided that holders of Advance licences with natural rubber as one of the inputs shall procure their requirement of natural rubber from STC only. Accordingly all the licensing authorities are advised that henceforth while issuing any advance license, as per policy, with natural rubber as one of the import item, they shall first invalidate the advance licence for direct import of natural rubber and thereafter shall issue ARO for procurement of natural rubber from STC of India Ltd. at or below international price.
