Claims filed after the last date but within six months will incur a 20% cut (combining Para 9.3 and Para 9.4 reductions). Claims submitted after six months of the last prescribed date will not be entertained. The clarification applies across all Export Promotion Schemes under the Foreign Trade Policy.
