Use EMI Scheme(Eligible Manufacturer Importer) and get benefit of Working Capital

The EMI scheme stands for Eligible Manufacturer Importer and it allows qualified manufacturers to defer payment of customs duty on imports instead of paying it at the time of clearance. It is mainly a working-capital and cash-flow relief measure for compliant manufacturers.

Key benefits
No upfront customs duty payment at import clearance; duty is paid later on a monthly basis under the Deferred Payment of Import Duty Rules, 2016.

Better cash flow and liquidity, since funds are not locked up immediately in duty payments.

Faster customs clearance for eligible importers, helping production schedules and supply continuity.

It also serves as a gateway to higher AEO status, because approved EMIs are expected to move toward AEO-T2 or AEO-T3 during the scheme period.

Eligibility snapshot
EMI is meant for trusted, compliant manufacturer-importers with prescribed criteria on customs/GST compliance, turnover, financial standing, and track record. Existing AEO-T1 entities, including MSMEs, may also apply if they meet the conditions.

Practical note
For importers with regular duty outgo, the scheme can reduce working-capital pressure significantly
