Services in this category
SION & Ad-hoc Norms Fixation (Norms Committee)
Standard Input Output Norms (SION) describe the inputs allowed for a specified export product. Where suitable norms are unavailable or need review, an ad-hoc norms request may require production, consumption and wastage evidence for consideration by the Norms Committee. Accurate specifications and a defensible consumption record help the committee understand the production process.
Typical situations
- No suitable SION for your export product
- Input consumption or wastage differs from published norms
How we help
- Review manufacturing and consumption evidence
- Prepare the technical norms submission and query replies
Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) cases
The Policy Relaxation Committee considers requests for relaxation of policy or procedural provisions in eligible cases of genuine hardship. Subh Exim helps explain the circumstances and organise supporting evidence; relief depends on the applicable provisions and the committee’s decision. The request should distinguish exceptional circumstances from a routine commercial difficulty.
Typical situations
- Exceptional hardship affects policy compliance
- Routine provisions do not address the circumstances
How we help
- Assess the grounds and relevant relaxation route
- Prepare a chronology and supporting representation
EPCG Committee matters
Certain EPCG issues may need consideration by the relevant committee rather than routine processing by a Regional Authority. We review the authorisation, export record and grounds for the request, and help prepare a reasoned submission. The appropriate route depends on the issue and the powers available to the committee.
Typical situations
- An EPCG issue falls outside routine processing
- The authority seeks committee consideration of a request
How we help
- Review the authorisation and unresolved issue
- Organise export evidence and grounds for consideration
Enforcement cum Adjudication
DGFT enforcement and adjudication can involve show-cause notices, personal hearings and orders concerning trade compliance. We help organise facts, prepare replies and support hearings or appeals where available, coordinating with legal professionals when required. Preserve previous submissions and check the response requirements stated in the communication.
Typical situations
- A DGFT show-cause notice has arrived
- A hearing or adverse order needs review
How we help
- Organise a fact-by-fact response with evidence
- Support hearing preparation and legal coordination
Jan Sunwai & DGFT grievance / helpdesk ticket support
Jan Sunwai and DGFT grievance or helpdesk channels provide ways to raise pending-file and portal issues. We help document the problem, prepare a clear grievance or ticket and organise follow-up records without treating these channels as a substitute for statutory remedies. Application references and earlier replies make the grievance easier for the receiving office to assess.
Typical situations
- A filed application has a documented unresolved issue
- A portal error prevents an application or update
How we help
- Prepare a clear ticket with references and screenshots
- Track responses and escalate through appropriate channels
Who needs this?
- Your export product has no suitable SION, or your actual input consumption differs from existing norms
- A genuine business hardship needs consideration by the Policy Relaxation Committee
- An EPCG issue requires committee consideration beyond routine Regional Authority processing
- You have received a DGFT show-cause notice or need to prepare for a personal hearing
- A pending application or portal problem needs a documented grievance or representation
