The government gave electronic companies extra time to import laptops, tablets and computers without a license by delaying the enforcement of the import restriction order on these gadgets by almost 3 months until October 31.
From November 1, these businesses would have to apply for a government license in order to import these devices.
On August 3, the government immediately instituted a licensing scheme for the import of these devices. The industry then complained to the government about the notification.
Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), said that a “liberal transitional arrangement is provided for import of laptops, tablets, all-in-one personal computers, ultra-small form factor computers and servers till October 31, 2023.
