Commerce Ministry’s suggestion to banks, e-commerce exporters get export loans in foreign currency
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the commerce ministry, on Monday said it has suggested banking and financial institutions to extend export credit in foreign currency to e-commerce exporters. The ministry, however, said that this should be done on the basis of the guidelines of the Reserve Bank. E-commerce exporters or banks may bring to the notice of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade any issues regarding such loans. Significantly, the objective of the new Foreign Trade Policy 2023 is also to promote exports through e-commerce.
DGFT also commented
In a trade note, DGFT said outstanding issues related to exports through e-commerce were discussed with industry representatives, exporters and nodal departments. The note added that one issue was non-availability of export credit before and after shipment for e-commerce exports and discussions have been held with RBI in this regard. The note further stated that a comprehensive framework has been laid down in the Master Circular ‘Rupee/Foreign Currency Export Credit and Customer Service for Exporters’ and all eligible persons are allowed access to export credit before and after shipment. This also includes e-commerce exporters.
