Invalidation of Advance Authorisation Scheme and All You Need to know

What is Invalidation of Advance Authorisation?
- An Advance License Holder in India can use inputs from domestic suppliers instead of importing them directly, with the help of an Invalidation Letter.
- Additionally, the Invalidation Letter allows the domestic supplier to receive Advance Intermediate Authorisation, which allows them to source duty-free inputs and fulfill obligation by supplying the same to the Advance License Holder.
- Essentially, the Invalidation Letter is a way for domestic suppliers to receive an exemption on duties for inputs they provide to another manufacturer, who has Advance Authorization.
