We had claim for MEIS for the month of May 2018. But for the month of June when we had submitted the documents for MEIS, DGFT officer says that we cannot claim MEIS under Free Shipping Bill. Is that so? We cannot claim under Free Shipping Bill.
We have mention on our shipping bills the declaration of MEIS.
Can you please suggest on this, that no MEIS incentive is available on free shipping bill.
Thanks

Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) Claim Valid on Free Shipping Bills with Proper Declaration A participant in a discussion forum inquired about the eligibility for claiming the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) under a Free Shipping Bill. They mentioned that a Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) officer indicated that MEIS cannot be claimed under such conditions, despite their declarations on the shipping bills. In response, another participant clarified that MEIS is allowed on Free Shipping Bills, provided that the intention to avail of the MEIS benefit is declared on the shipping bill. (AI Summary)
