DGFT has extended its special drive for expeditious issuance of EODCs under the Advance Authorisation and EPCG Schemes from 1 April 2026 to 31 May 2026. The extended drive is intended to clear older pending and deficient applications, with Regional Authorities directed to use an age-wise pendency strategy and prioritise long-pending cases. Trade and authorisation holders are encouraged to promptly submit documents and clarifications and respond within prescribed timelines, with the expected effect of time-bound closure of old authorisations, reduced compliance burden, and consequential customs action on bond redemption and bank guarantee release where applicable.
