Accredited Clients Programme extension to FTP status holders expands eligibility and defines disqualifying customs and tax infringements. Extension of the Accredited Clients Programme admits Foreign Trade Policy status holders as an alternate eligibility category subject to existing ACP criteria; it narrows disqualifying cases to specified Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax misconducts in the prior three financial years and empowers Chief Commissioners to report such cases to the Risk Management Division for exclusion even without issuance of a show cause notice, while requiring an application-form amendment to record FTP status.
