Including Procedural Simplification in Annual Supplement to FTP

Procedural simplification is a continuous exercise. From time to time various measures are announced to simplify processes so as to facilitate foreign trade and bring down their transaction cost. No complaint has been received from the exporters about their difficulties in obtaining Bank Realisation Certificate (BRC). DGFT has been in consultation with all banks so that the Bank Realisation Certificate can be transmitted on-line from the banks to DGFT eliminating the need for the exporters to approach the respective banks for hard copy of BRC.

This information was given by Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Minister of State for Commerce, Industry and in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
