Importers who have already booked contracts up to previous limit of 25% in the current financial year shall be eligible for difference arising out of the enhanced limits. All other operational guidelines, terms and conditions shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Under the extant guidelines relating to hedging of currency risk of probable exposures based on past performance, resident importers are allowed to book contracts up to 25% of the eligible limit. The eligible limit is computed as the average of the previous three financial years import turnover or the previous year's actual import turnover, whichever is higher.
