One-time relaxation under TMA Scheme.

27 Feb, 2020

Trade Notice No. 51/2019-2020   Dated. 21st February, 2020

Issued By. DGFT

 “With reference to the subject mentioned above, attention is invited to sub-para (c) of para 7(A).01 of "Handbook of Procedures" notified vide Public Notice No.82/2015-2020 dated 29.3.2019 whereby it is prescribed that for claiming benefits under TMA, the applicant shall fill up the application online on DGFT's website and would file manually a physical pdf copy of the print out of ANF-7(A)A along with prescribed documents with RA concerned within 30 days.

DGFT has received several representations stating that many applicants did not submit physical copy of application to RAs because of the following message on the acknowledgement slip:

"Application Successfully Submitted. (No need to submit physical copy of application to DGFT Regional Authority)"

However, their applications for claiming TMA have been rejected by designated RAs due to non-submission of physical copy of prescribed documents.

The issue has been examined in the Directorate. The software of the acknowledgement slip has been rectified w.e.f. 30.01.2020. Keeping in view the endorsement on the acknowledgement slip, it is decided to allow one time relaxation to all those applicants who have made online application(s) up to 30.1.2020, to submit physical copies of such applications along with self-certified copy of the prescribed documents with concerned designated RAs by 15.03.2020. If submitted by the said date, all such applications would be deemed to have been submitted in time.

The concerned RA shall examine the application in accordance with prescribed policy/procedure and dispose of the same.”
