DGFT removes physical challans for EODC applications

DGFT dropped challans for EODC under AA/EPCG from Aug 1, 2026. Customs/ICEGATE will send verified duty data to DGFT by API. Exporters can check payments online, while Regional Authorities access records digitally. The move cuts paperwork, delays and costs, improves transparency, speeds licence closure, and eases export steps for MSMEs, supporting faster, simpler trade compliance for all exporters.
