Freight reimbursement support for hinterland MSMEs mitigates locational logistics disadvantage via online intent-and-claim reimbursement process. A pilot LIFT scheme under the Export Promotion Mission provides partial reimbursement of eligible freight for MSME exports from specified hinterland districts, subject to IEC and Udyam eligibility, listed products and districts, distance criteria, a uniform reimbursement rate applied against a capped freight value relative to FOB, annual ceilings per IEC, exclusions for deemed exports and SEZs, and prospective application. A two stage online Intent to Claim and Reimbursement Claim process with documentary evidence and quarterly filing with jurisdictional DGFT enables direct bank disbursement; a DGFT sub committee will advise on eligible districts, products, rates and monitoring.
