Dear Ramesh Kumar Sir, What kind of incetive for which the vegetable exporters are eligible for ? They cannot claim any draw back (since they did not pay any duty on inputs - the veg.produced in India only). I was trying to find out the rule regarding the incentive. Please advise me how to claim the incentive (or the rule/notification No.) specifying that the veg. exporters are eligible for incentive. Is it based on a percentage of turnover ? Please advise...
Sorry for the delay. Today only I received the details from my client. I tried to find out the RITC Codes, but could not. It is not available in the website. The exported items are: Beens, Potato, Banana, Snake gourd, Currica, Yam, Banana flower, Onion,Cucumber,Pumpkin, Colocosia, Ashcod, Tindori, jackfruit and other vegetables and fruits. He says there is a provision to get cash incentive based on the weight of the items exported. I searched the law and rules but did not find any such cash incentive scheme. There are some schemes by which duty credit scrips are available such as " Visesh Krishiand Gram Udyog Yojana". Sir, Please help me to sort out this. Thanks, vinodaca74@gmail.com
