Common PRC Hardship Situations Under DGFT
The DGFT Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) may consider requests involving exceptional hardship under applicable provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy and related procedures. Each case depends on its specific facts, supporting evidence, the relief requested and the Committee’s authority. Policy relaxation is not an automatic remedy for routine non-compliance.
Maintainability Review
Determine whether PRC is the correct forum and whether another amendment, appeal or regularisation route exists.
Hardship & Equity Analysis
Document events beyond control, diligence shown and disproportionate consequence.
Application & Evidence
Prepare chronology, policy comparison, calculations, affidavits and indexed annexures.
Hearing & Order Compliance
Support oral submissions, clarifications and implementation of the decision.
PRC relief is strongest when the request is exceptional, well evidenced and no broader than necessary.
We distinguish policy relaxation from appeal against an adverse order.
The submission explains why ordinary provisions do not adequately address the facts.
Revenue, export performance, third-party impact and precedent risk are addressed candidly.
