\u00b7        What has changed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the new automated system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The exporter submits the EO Extension request to the PRC\/EPCG Committee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If the Committee approves the request, the system issues a letter for payment of the prescribed extension fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The exporter pays the fee through the DGFT portal and submits the response.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. After successful payment, the system automatically creates and approves the EO Extension file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The EO Extension Letter is generated automatically.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The revised EO expiry date will also be updated in the concerned authorisation records and transmitted to ICEGATE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Infographic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7        Benefits for exporters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. No separate EO Extension application after Committee approval<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u00a0Reduced manual processing by the Regional Authority<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u00a0Faster generation of the EO Extension Letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. \u00a0Less paperwork and repeated verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. \u00a0Improved Ease of Doing Business<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Simple takeaway<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        If your Advance Authorisation or EPCG EO Extension is approved by the PRC\/EPCG Committee, you only need to pay the prescribed fee and submit your response through the DGFT portal. The remaining process will be completed automatically through the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Based on DGFT Trade Notice No. 21\/2026-27 dated 21 August 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
