Dear Mr. Srinivas,

MEIS is based on your product and port of destination. In some cases it is given to product to be exported irrespective of country. For Example under Tariff heading 6208, MEIS is 5% of FOB applicable for all country. So it depends upon your product.

After receiving the SB, application to be made online on DGFT site and Hard copy of all application with Proof of Export to be submitted at DGFT office. Bank will also show the realization of Export Proceeds and it shall reflect in DGFT site. DGFT office sanctioned the same in form of Duty Scrip. Duty scrip can be used against Purchase of dutiable goods or you can sold it in market also.

Dear Mr. Srinivas,

Nicely explained by Sh. Manish Sinha ji,

Further to add that Drawback is claimed from Customs Department and for this you need to apprise your CHA to mention the fact of filing Shipping Bill under Duty Drawback Scheme.

You need to provide Customs office with Bank Letter verifying your account details so that the same may be updated in Customs Master and drawback may be transferred accordingly after the Exports of goods has taken place.

Usage of MEIS Scrip, you can also convert that into cash if you sell those scrip to others, there are many brokers available for sell the scrip for you.

(a) All scrips issued under MEIS and SEIS and the goods imported against these scrips would be fully transferable.

(b) Scrips issued under Exports from India Schemes can be used for the following:-

(ii) Payment of excise duty on domestic procurement of inputs or goods, including capital goods as per DoR notification.
