CBIC Simplifies Documentation for Eligible Manufacturer Importer Scheme Enrolment
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has simplified the enrolment process for the Eligible Manufacturer Importer (EMI) scheme by reducing required documents from 10 to 3. Effective September 15, eligible manufacturers can apply to defer Customs duty payments on imports, paying monthly instead of at clearance. Introduced in the 2026-27 Union Budget, this scheme aims to help manufacturers manage cash flow and working capital, with the facility available from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028.
