DGFT should review notification aligning ITC(HS) code with Finance Act 2026
A call has gone out for the Directorate General of Foreign Trade to review its notification aligning the ITC(HS) code with the Finance Act 2026. This matters to businesses that rely on that code, since classification decides how goods are treated. Separately, a question stands: can a bank refuse to close an otherwise eligible entry just because a customer disputes or declines to pay the charge?
