New Delhi, Aug 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Central government has deferred its decision to restrict the import of certain category of laptops and computers until November 1, allowing companies three-months time to import these devices.
In a notification, issued late Friday night , the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) announced that the restriction on import of certain category of laptops and computers will come into effect from November 1 onwards.
Post November 1, no entity will be allowed to import laptops, computers, and related items without a license.
"Import consignments can be cleared till October 31, 2023, without a licence for restricted imports," the notification said, adding that liberal transitional arrangements will be notified for the import of laptops, tablets, all-in-one personal computers, and servers till October 31.
This is a partial reversal from its August 3 order, which had imposed import restrictions on these devices with immediate effect.
The Centre has said the restrictions were imposed for security reasons and also for promoting the Atmanirbhar Bharat clause.
