Capital Goods eligibility for firefighting systems contested; entitlement depends on use, notifications and DGFT committee approval.
Eligibility of a fire fighting system as Capital Goods under the EPCG scheme depends on the FTP definition allowing goods used directly or indirectly in manufacture, earlier notifications that have included firefighting equipment for specific sectors, and evidence of its role in production. Administrative discretion and case-by-case DGFT/Customs practice mean applicants should seek EPCG Committee approval and provide technical substantiation such as a Chartered Engineer certificate and installation/usage proof to secure duty exemption and avoid post-import denial.
