had
inadvertently marked ‘N’ in the “reward item box” and wished to seek MEIS
benefit.

industry that such procedure should also be made applicable to exports made
beyond
31.05.2015.
- To suitably address the matter, in exercise of powers conferred under
paragraph 1.03 of
the Foreign Trade Policy(FTP) (2015-2020) read with para 3.14 of the Handbook of
