New Delhi, May 25 (KNN) Under the Service Exports from India Scheme (SEIS), DGFT has amended the eligibility criteria after which the service provider should have minimum net free foreign exchange earnings of USD 15,000 in the year of rendering service to be eligible for duty credit scrip.

For Individual Service Providers and sole proprietorship, such minimum net free foreign exchange earnings criteria would be US$10,000 in preceding financial.”
