New Guidelines for No Incentive Certificate Under MEIS: Exporters Must Use ANF 3E Form for Re-Imported Shipments.

A new paragraph, 3.24, has been introduced in Chapter 3 of the Handbook of Procedures 2015-20, detailing the process for obtaining a No Incentive Certificate under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS). Exporters who need this certificate for re-imported shipments must apply using the specified format, ANF 3E, to the relevant Regional Authority. The procedure varies based on whether MEIS benefits have been utilized, issued but not used, or not applied for. The Regional Authority will issue the certificate after verifying the refund or surrender of MEIS benefits, as applicable, and will notify the NIC to block the shipping bills.
