Questions we hear often

EOU or SEZ — which is better for a new export unit?

It depends on capital intensity, location flexibility, domestic sales plans and exit horizon. We run both regimes against your business plan and show the comparison in rupees.

What does debonding an EOU actually cost?

Duty on imported capital goods at depreciated value plus duty on unused raw materials. Timing and depreciation claims change the bill significantly — plan the exit before announcing it.
