    A  new  scheme  of  Self­assessment  based  duty  free 


    procurement  of  inputs  required  for  exports  has  been 
    introduced. There will be  no need of Standard Input Output 
    Norms  in  such  cases  and  this  will  eliminate  delays.  It  is  based 
    on trust. Exporters will self­certify the requirement of duty 
    free  materials/inputs.  The  scheme  will  be  available  to  AEOs 
    and will get expanded as more and more AEOs join the program. 
    The scheme will improve ease of doing business.
