Dear Kasturi Sethi Ji,

Now the period of keeping the materials in warehouse is made co terminus with the LOP period. You please refer the EOU Schem and the latest provisions.

Government relaxed the earlier provisions considering applying for extension permissions time and again being time taking and cumbersome .
