Hi,
Kindly see GFET V-1 Chapter-7 page-37
33.(a) Subject to compliance with other conditions laid down in
this chapter and in the current IPO, import LCs may be opened on
deferred payment/usance basis in the following cases:
i) Import of capital machinery on upto 360 days usance basis;
ii) Industrial raw material imports for own use of industrial
importers (including back to back imports discussed in detail in
the next section) on upto 180 days usance basis;
iii) Import of coastal vessels including oil tankers and ocean going
vessels including those procured for scrapping on upto 360
days usance basis;
iv) Import of agricultural implements and chemical fertilizers on
