Amnesty Scheme: final filing required for closure of export obligation defaults; pendency of policy relaxation requests won't extend deadline. The Amnesty Scheme permits closure of Export Obligation defaults under Advance Authorisation and EPCG Schemes through a time limited filing; authorisation holders must submit closure applications within the prescribed final period and should not await decisions from the Policy Relaxation Committee or EPCG Committees, since such pendency will not extend the filing deadline. Regional Authorities are instructed to dispose pending Amnesty Scheme applications before the cut off, and beneficiaries are urged to avail themselves of the scheme because the final filing date will not be extended further.
