As per the para 5.1.f of the FTP 2009-2014, Capital goods shall include spares, tools, jigs, fixtures, dies and mould.

Hence, furniture for office can't be imported under EPCG scheme.

1. Only to service provider and that too with terms and conditions.

2. Advance Licesne is for raw material.

3. You can import Furniture etc. duty free if you are a service provoider under SFIS scheme.
