Thanks for the reply Mr. Bhagat !
can you please give me the reference of these levy ? 15% interest or 15% penalty? Per annum or what? & when it is required to be paid (i.e. whether after completion of 8yrs?) ?
are you sure that no other action will be taken like confiscation of Capital Goods etc. ?
here is a forum discussion too.. https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/consequences-in-case-of-default-in-epcg-scheme--117240.asp
please refer to para 5.14 of foreign trade policy ,2002-07
