September 11, 2006 2185 Views 0 comment Print

The facility of DTA sale to EOUs is available against physical export of goods manufactured in EOU and earning positive net foreign exchange. Exports effected through third party and foreign exchange realized in the name of the third party for those goods which have been manufactured in the EOU and are directly transferred from the unit to the port of shipment are eligible exports and this export is also counted for the purpose of fulfillment of export obligation of EOU. The EOU is, therefore, eligible to get DTA sale benefits on exports effected through third party.
