DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online EPCG Duty Remittance Module

## Key points In a significant move to digitize trade procedures, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has released a new circular regarding the automation of duty remittance for the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme. As per the **DGFT Trade Notice No. 24/2026-27 dated 2026-08-08**, exporters who have defaulted on their Export Obligation (EO) can now calculate and pay the required customs duty plus interest through a unified digital dashboard. This system replaces the manual computation at port offices, integrating directly with the ICEGATE payment gateway. The notification specifies that all applications for regularizing cases through duty payment must now be submitted exclusively through the 'Services' section on the DGFT portal under the EPCG module. ## What this means for exporters This update significantly reduces the time taken to close open files and obtain Redemption Certificates. For SME manufacturers, it removes the ambiguity of interest calculations and provides an immediate digital receipt for audit purposes. Who should act now: Exporters with pending EPCG obligations or those seeking to regularize defaults should immediately verify their status on the portal.
