Validity of ratified norms extended, allowing reuse for Advance Authorisations and easing compliance and transaction costs. The amendment provides that norms ratified by Norms Committees in the Office of DGFT on or after 01.04.2023 remain valid for three years from ratification, and that norms ratified on or after 01.04.2015 under the HBP 2015-2020 are extended to remain valid until 31.03.2026. Decisions of Norms Committees published as minutes on the DGFT website permit other applicants to apply for and obtain Advance Authorisations on a repeat basis during the norms' validity. Appendix 4P items remain excluded from this provision.
