Commerce Ministry has made life simpler for exporters and importers, who can start paying fees for different applications through debit or credit cards, a move aimed at improving conditions for doing business.

“We have got the approval of Controller General of Accounts now. I am hopeful that we will soon be allowing exporters and importers to pay fees through credit and debit cards,” Director General of Foreign Trade, Parvir Kumar said at a PHDCCI function.

He was spelling out the steps the ministry is taking to facilitate ease of doing business. The process would have kicked in from March 31, but got delayed due to some approval reasons.
