Dear Member,
As you are aware, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government

countries, participation in international trade fairs held abroad,
publicity etc.,
The Ministry of Commerce & Industry has issued an amendment on
May13, 2003 to the MDA Code (guidelines). As per the amendment, the
Sale-cum-Study Tours by individual exporters have been discontinued
from the approved activities under MDA Code with immediate effect.
In view of the above, individual exporters will not be eligible to
claim MDA grant on to & fro air fare for their Sale-cum-Study
Tours undertaken from May 14, 2003, onwards (i.e. for all cases
where the date of departure from India is on or after May 14, 2003).
All approval letters issued by the Council for such
Sale-cum-Study Tours to be undertaken by individual exporters on or
after May 14, 2003 stand cancelled.

amended till date, will remain unaltered and applicable. The
