MEIS legacy claims and export records review

MEIS is a historical goods-export scheme, not a route for incentives on new exports. DGFT's consolidated policy excludes exports made from 1 January 2021. Start a legacy enquiry with shipment dates, the existing application and the unresolved issue; do not assume an old unfiled claim can now be submitted.

BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS

Less uncertainty. More direction.

Exporters organising a previously filed MEIS matter, a deficiency response or historical scrip records. First establish what happened and which question remains unresolved; record preparation is not an offer to reopen every old claim.

Clarity before commitment

Know the deliverables, documents and costs before work starts.

Careful preparation

Identify missing or inconsistent information before submission.

Coordinated support

Bring preparation, queries and follow-up into one agreed workflow.

Practical next steps

Know what you need to provide and what happens at handover.

GET READY, ONE STEP AT A TIME

03

Scrip or dispute evidence

  • Any issued scrip and relevant transfer/utilisation records
  • The exact discrepancy or question requiring examination
  • Any actual court order or authority direction relied upon

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER

A clear process. At every step.

We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.

  1. 01

    Locate the matter

    Record shipment dates, application references and the question to answer.

  2. 02

    Reconcile the chronology

    Compare the supplied records and identify missing or inconsistent evidence.

  3. 03

    Check the possible next step

    Distinguish historical instructions from a supported route for this matter.

  4. 04

    Agree the handover

    Deliver the chronology, evidence gaps and separately scoped next action.

Timing agreed after document review

A preparation estimate depends on the completeness of the historical file. A fee or preparation date does not establish an available filing window, authority response date or entitlement to relief.

KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND

Clear scope. No surprises.

The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.

Service scope to agree

  • Agree the historical period and unresolved question
  • Organise supplied shipment and application records
  • Prepare a dated chronology and missing-evidence list
  • Identify the supported next action or record that no further route has been established

Outside the standard scope

  • A new-export MEIS incentive or reopening of time-barred applications
  • Guaranteed recovery, incentive entitlement or authority relief
  • Appeal, litigation, representation or scrip transactions unless separately agreed and available

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Can a new export earn MEIS benefits?

The cited policy excludes exports made from 1 January 2021. This service concerns historical records, not incentives for new exports.

References: DGFT: FTP 2015-20 Chapter 3, consolidated 14 November 2022

What was the deadline for the final four-month export period?

For exports from 1 September to 31 December 2020, the policy records 31 August 2022 as the last application date and says later applications become time-barred. This is a closed historical deadline, not permission to file now.

References: DGFT: FTP 2015-20 Chapter 3, consolidated 14 November 2022 · DGFT: Notification 15/2015-2020, 1 July 2022

Does an old MEIS portal or form mean applications remain open?

No. A retained form or manual is not evidence of an available claim window. Check the relevant period and any case-specific official basis before authorising work.

Can LIQUETAX guarantee that an old claim will be reopened?

No. First establish whether there is a pending matter or a supported response route. Any relief remains subject to the relevant authority or court.

What if an application was already filed?

Bring its acknowledgement, submitted workings and complete correspondence. The task should address that actual record rather than assume that a new filing is required or available.

What should I receive from a record review?

A dated chronology, missing or inconsistent evidence, and a clearly scoped next action—or an explanation that no further route has been established.

QuestionWhat mattersNext step
Export periodIdentify each shipping bill's Let Export Order date and applicable historical policy.Keep goods exported from 1 January 2021 outside a new MEIS claim.
Application historySeparate a filed pending application from one that was never submitted.Find the acknowledgement and complete correspondence before considering a response.
Closed deadlineFor exports from 1 September to 31 December 2020, paragraph 3.13A records 31 August 2022 as the last application date.Do not present that historical deadline as an open filing opportunity.
Actual unresolved issueDistinguish a deficiency, decision, scrip-use question and missing record.Any claimed exception or further route needs its own genuine official basis.

Your responsibilities, handover & ongoing work

Locate the matter

LIQUETAX: Record shipment dates, application references and the question to answer.

You: Provide the actual existing file and explain what remains unresolved.

Reconcile the chronology

LIQUETAX: Compare the supplied records and identify missing or inconsistent evidence.

You: Supply notices, replies and bank/shipping records rather than relying on recollection.

Check the possible next step

LIQUETAX: Distinguish historical instructions from a supported route for this matter.

You: Provide any order or direction claimed to permit further action.

Agree the handover

LIQUETAX: Deliver the chronology, evidence gaps and separately scoped next action.

You: Assign responsibility for follow-up; do not assume a record review guarantees relief.

At handover and afterwards

  • Retain the dated chronology and source references
  • Keep originals and acknowledgement records
  • Record missing evidence and its owner
  • Review any later authority communication against the actual file

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using old ANF 3A instructions as proof that a new application is allowed
  • Treating a rolling deadline from an old guide as current
  • Confusing an unfiled application with a pending filed matter
  • Assuming an old reward rate applies to every shipment
