**Executive Summary** This public notice outlines the modalities for the eligibility, receipt, and processing of applications to export 25 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) of wheat. Applications must be submitted online through the DGFT portal during the first ten days of every month, starting from March 1, 2026, until the permitted quantity is exhausted. The Special Exim Facilitation Committee (EFC) will oversee the allocation based on past performance and confirmed export orders. **Key Points / Main Content** **Application Submission and Timeline** * **Eligibility:** Only applicants with an active Importer Exporter Code (IEC) are eligible to apply. * **Mode of Application:** Applications must be filed online via the DGFT website under the "License for Restricted Exports" section; manual submissions via post or email will be rejected. * **Filing Window:** Applications are invited between the 1st and 10th day of each month, beginning March 1, 2026. **Mandatory Documentation** * **Past Performance:** Evidence of wheat exports, specifically including the three financial years prior to 2022-2023. * **Export Orders:** Copies of confirmed export orders or contracts available at the time of application. * **Financial Certification:** A valid certificate from a Chartered Accountant (CA) certifying the applicant's overall export turnover in INR for the preceding five financial years. **Authorization Terms and Conditions** * **Validity:** Export Authorizations are valid for six months from the date of issuance. * **Non-transferability:** Authorizations are strictly non-transferable and must only be used by the allottee IEC holder. * **Minimum Quantity:** Applications for quantities less than 10,000 MT will be disqualified. * **Reporting:** Allottees must submit a landing certificate to the designated email (sefc-wheatflour-dgft@gov.in) within 30 days of completing a consignment. **Allocation and Oversight** * **Mechanism:** The Special Exim Facilitation Committee (EFC) evaluates applications and recommends allocations. * **Criteria:** Recommendations are based on previous export history or the existence of confirmed export orders. * **Re-allocation:** The EFC reserves the right to review performance and re-allocate quantities from one holder to another. **Impact Analysis** **Exporters (IEC Holders)** **Impact** Exporters of wheat are subject to strict monthly application windows, minimum quantity thresholds (10,000 MT), and rigorous documentation requirements. They are also restricted by the non-transferable nature of the permits. **Action Required** Exporters must prepare historical export data and CA certificates, ensure they have confirmed orders, and submit their applications through the DGFT portal between the 1st and 10th of the month. Successful allottees must file landing certificates within 30 days of export. **Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) / Special EFC** **Impact** The DGFT and the Special EFC are responsible for the administrative processing of the 25 LMT quota, including evaluating applicant eligibility and monitoring the performance of authorization holders. **Action Required** The Special EFC must review applications based on the specified criteria, recommend allocations, and perform periodic reviews to facilitate the re-allocation of quotas where necessary.
