· Four Schemes

· Only Advance
Authorisation (Import before Export) and Duty Drawback remain, along with
specific subsidies for particular industries (Transport and Market Assistance
for Agro export).
· 120 days’ time
granted for withdrawal, 180 days for SEZ.
· India may
appeal; but Appellate body dysfunctional from
December 2019.
·
India’s
refusal to implement can result in countervailing duty in importing
countries. 12 other countries including China, Korea, European
Union etc. join disputes as third parties.
