FAQ :

The Duty Deferment Scheme allows eligible manufacturer importers to defer the payment of import duties, paying them on a monthly basis instead of upfront.

Eligibility includes manufacturer importers with a valid IEC, a minimum number of EXIM documents filed in the preceding financial year (25 for general, 10 for MSMEs), GST compliance, demonstrated financial solvency, and a clean compliance record.

The scheme is inclusive of MSMEs and aims to improve their liquidity, facilitate faster clearances, and enhance their overall competitiveness by allowing better import scheduling and working capital management.

Applications can be submitted online through the AEO portal (www.aeoindia.gov.in). The process is fully digital.

The scheme is valid for a period of two years, from 1 April 2026 up to 31 March 2028.
