Focus Product Licence for Status Holders

[CLARENCE PEREIRA]

I am an Exporter in Leather Garments (Status Holder) entitled to Licence Scrip under Focus Product Scheme.

While exporting the shipping bill is generated as ' Leather Garments with leather more than 75% of visible surface'.

Now at DGFT the Focus Licence is refused as the nomenclature is 'Leather Garments' and according to them it should be 100%. They are even threatning to withdraw all licences issued so far with penalties.

Kiindly clarify
