Time bound disposal ensures prompt processing of DGFT authorisations and structured counter assistance for exporters and importers. Importers and exporters must promptly notify changes in name, address or constitution and maintain prescribed consumption registers; authorisations must state values in rupees and freely convertible currency, with obligations denominated and discharged in the currency appropriate to the scheme. Late and supplementary applications attract prescribed cuts; DGFT may call for information and issue clarifications; field offices provide counter assistance and export facilitation; applications are processed within specified timeframes and shipment dates are determined by transport mode, while DGFT retains a general power of review.
