20 February 2013 The EPCG scheme allows import /domestic sourcing of capital goods (including CKD/SKD thereof as well as computer software systems and spares, jigs, fixtures, dies and moulds) at 0/3% Customs duty for all sectors as against the normal total of 25.852%, thus providing a duty saved value of more than 25/22% of the import value. This is subject to an Export Obligation (EO) equivalent to 6/8 times of duty saved, to be fulfilled over a period of 6/8/12 years reckoned from the date of issuance of license. For large projects, SSI etc. there are more relaxed norms of EO. The scheme covers manufacturer exporters with or without supporting manufacturer(s) / vendor(s), merchant exporters tied to supporting manufacturer(s) and Service Providers.

Actual user conditions: Import of capital goods are subject to Actual User condition till the export obligation is completed.

Export obligation: The export obligation needs to be fulfilled by the export of goods capable of being manufactured or produced by the use of the capital goods imported under the scheme. In addition upto 50% of the EO can also be fulfilled by any alternate product of the company or even group company. Deemed Exports like supplies to Power Projects, Projects funded by WB/ADB/JBIC etc, EOUs etc. can also be utilized to fulfill the EO

Domestic Sourcing: A person holding an EPCG license may source the capital goods from a domestic manufacturer instead of importing them. The domestic manufacturer supplying capital goods to EPCG license holders shall be eligible for refund of Excise Duty paid by him. In addition the indigenous supplier can import his own raw material duty free and other benefits which can be discussed.

Post Export EPCG: For those importers who are not sure for fulfilling their export obligation (EO) can opt for Post Export EPCG scheme, in which you can take the license, deposit the duty amount to the customs authorities and after fulfilling the EO you may take the duty refund. There are certain rules and regulations which need to be taken care of.

Annual EPCG : This facility is also available but for certain class of exporters.

For Manufacturers
The scheme is quite beneficial to Manufacturer exporters as they can import their CG/Spares at a substantial discount. Especially for those manufacturers whose final product is not excisable (Agriculture sector) or is exempt from excise duty (like those in Uttaranchal) since they cannot take the CENVAT credit of the CVD paid on imports and Excise Duty paid in Domestic markets.

Merchant Exporters tied with the supporting manufacturers can also utilize the scheme for concessional duty import of Capital Goods to be installed at the supporting manufacturers.

For Projects
EPCG can be taken for the full projects where exports of goods or services can be envisaged by the use of the project or alternative products. This can be taken for Captive Power units also. EPCG can be taken along with Project Import scheme in case of new Projects.

For Service Provider
Various service providers / exporters can take EPCG route to reduce their Capital Cost. Service Providers like Port Developers, Hotels, Hospitals, Tour Operators, Taxi Operators, Construction Companies, Logistics companies can utilize the scheme to import/procure from domestic market, their capital goods at a substantially reduced costs. The EO can be fulfilled by Forex Earnings through providing services, like that of Foreign Guests staying in the hotel, medical tourism etc.
