In sync with the Government's drive to harness technology, the Commerce Ministry is planning to come up with mobile apps for exportes and importers. While the "FTP App" will help traders to go through the voluminous book on India's foreign trade policy on their smartphones or notebooks,
"EXIM (export-import) App" would help them in filling different documents such as shipping bills and other paperwork, a senior official in the Commerce Ministry said.
He added that initial discussions are on with different departments, including Revenue, for the purpose. The apps would be developed by private players and this software will help exporters in reducing transactions cost.
