https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=16637 Standard Input Output Norms (SION) under the Directorate General of Foreign Trade establish the permissible input-output ratio for export products and serve as the basis for duty-free import entitlement under export incentive schemes such as Advance Authorisation and DFIA. The system standardises input consumption, prevents misuse of duty-free import benefits, and accounts for normal wastage and process loss. DGFT notifies SION after technical evaluation by Norms Committees, with sectoral inputs from exporters, Export Promotion Councils, and jurisdictional ministries. The framework also recognises ad-hoc norms and self-ratified norms for case-specific or trusted exporter situations, subject to audit and revision. en-us Sat, 13 Jun 2026 08:37:15 +0530 Sat, 13 Jun 2026 08:37:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=16637 Standard Input Output Norms (SION) under the Directorate General of Foreign Trade establish the permissible input-output ratio for export products and serve as the basis for duty-free import entitlement under export incentive schemes such as Advance Authorisation and DFIA.
