Time-bound disposal obligations for EOU/EHTP/STP/BTP applications require prescribed prompt processing and public notice of timelines. Prescribes a time-bound framework requiring field formations to meet specified processing periods for applications under the EOU/EHTP/STP/BTP schemes for licences, bond execution and acceptance, broad-banding, procurement and CT-3 certificates, warehousing and re-warehousing, export and re-export clearances (subject to advance intimation where applicable), permissions for re-export of rejected inputs, and job work permissions and renewals. Time limits exclude holidays and apply only after deficiencies are rectified; senior officers must monitor compliance and widely publicise the timelines.
