The notification keeps the export prohibition intact while carving out a narrow exception for capped exports. Up to 5 LMT of wheat flour and related products can now be exported under a special authorisation route.
The government has notified detailed procedures for exporting wheat flour under HS Code 1101. Exporters must meet eligibility norms, quantity thresholds, and strict compliance conditions to secure authorisation.
The notice refines eligibility to RBI-aligned credit, applies benefits only to post-02.01.2026 sanctions, and excludes deemed exports and NPAs—helping exporters understand who qualifies and when.
The Court upheld exemption from customs duty and AIDC for consignments landing by 30 June 2023 with qualifying Bills of Lading. Refunds were directed as per law.
The High Court declined to rule on the validity of the import ceiling and instead directed DGFT to examine the trader’s challenge. The authority must decide the issue by a reasoned order within a fixed timeframe.
The Court held that claims exceeding ₹1 crore under the Scheme cannot be rejected outright. Such claims must be examined with enhanced verification as expressly provided in the policy.
The trade authority authorises an additional body to issue non-preferential Certificates of Origin. The move expands the official network and eases access for exporters with immediate effect.
The trade authority updates the eBRC format by adding GST-linked fields. The key takeaway is improved linkage between export realisation data and GST records, effective 13 January 2026.
Delhi High Court held that retrospective applicability of Transport and Marketing Assistance Scheme is impermissible in law. Thus, notification of foreclosure of the Scheme dated 25.03.2022 shall have no application for exports effected between 01.04.2021 and 08.09.2021.
The Government removed restrictive conditions on low ash metallurgical coke imports. The change allows free import across key HS codes, easing raw material access for industry.
