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.
How to apply for Invalidation of Advance Authorisation?
- To invalidate an Advance Authorization or DFIA, one must first go to the “Services” section and then select “Advance Authorisation/DFIA” and then “Invalidation of Advance Authorisation”.
