Respected fellow professionals,
can any body please guide me about whether one should go for 100% EOU formation or should go for EPCG? as the benefit of 100% EOU under income tax is no more, should one go for imports under EPCG scheme.
also please let me know relevent procedure for either of two. Is there any separate registration required for importing capital goods under EPCG scheme?
Thak you in anticipatio of reply.
kind regards
