Today, Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 has been announced by Ministry of Commerce & Industry which shall be effective from 1st Apr’15 to 31st Mar’20.
The glimpse of the same has been produced herein below:
1. Five different schemes(Focus Product Scheme, Market Linked Focus Product Scheme, Focus Market Scheme, Agri Infrastructure Incentive Scrip, VKGUY) merged into single unconditional scheme named as Merchandise Export from India Scheme(MEIS);
2. SFIS(Serve from India Scheme) has been replaced by Service Exports from India Scheme(SEIS) so as to allow benefits to all services providers located in India, instead of Indian Service Providers.
