2007 and upto 18th April, 2008. The scheme has since been extended for exports made

upto 30th September, 2008.

In order to remove any confusion regarding consideration of the relevant date as

the export date for the exports of sugar made by sugar factories, it is hereby clarified that

the sugar for exports which have been handed over to the ship/vessel and the mate receipt

issued for such exports by 30th September, 2008 will be eligible for the export assistance

under the SDF Rules 20A. Exports for which Mate receipts are dated after

30th September, 2008 would not be eligible for the export assistance under the above

scheme of the Central Government.

You are requested to kindly give wide publicity of this clarification to all the

concerned sugar factories. A copy of this letter is also being put up on the website of
