Welcome to the September 2026 edition of our Indirect Tax & Corporate Trade Advisory Newsletter.

The September 2026 edition of the Mundhra Consulting Services (MCS) Indirect Tax Newsletter provides a comprehensive breakdown of this month’s critical policy shifts, operational portal reforms, and judicial precedents.

Key highlights include the DGFT’s announcement of the Faceless Trade Facilitation System (FTFS) and Central Processing Department (CPD) for centralized processing of routine EXIM authorizations, the extension of the RoDTEP Scheme up to December 31, 2026, and the launch of Open APIs for Certificates of Origin on the Trade Connect e-Platform. The newsletter also details the CBIC’s rationalized compliance norms for the Eligible Manufacturer Importer (EMI) Scheme, the rollout of the centralized National Assessment Centre (NAC) Portal, and the GSTN’s new “Multistate Registration” facility powered by a single Master TRN.

Furthermore, our advisory team analyzes pivotal rulings, including the Rajasthan High Court’s ruling granting relief from interest on capital goods in Section 65 bonded warehouses, CESTAT’s recognition of retrospective Certificates of Origin under CEPA, and High Court clarifications concerning GST audit intimations (Form GST ADT-02) and consolidated Show Cause Notices.
