Ludhiana/New Delhi, April 23, 2017: Complementing the Department of Commerce and the Reserve Bank of India, Mr Ganesh Kumar Gupta, President, FIEO said that the grant of further exemption to exporters whose IE codes are appearing in caution-list in Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) upto May 20, 2017 to clear the entries in the system will provide much needed respite to exporters who have been penalized due to delays in updating the information in EDPMS by Authorised Dealers even where exports remittances have been realized.

The extension upto 20th May 2017 shall be available to only those exporter whose outstanding export bills’ amount is upto 20 per cent of total export bills or the number of open export bills' is upto 10 as indicated in the caution list appearing in EDPMS site.
