What The RELIEF Scheme provides:
- Up to 100% risk cover for existing ECGC-insured shipments
- Up to 95% risk cover for upcoming exports without increase in premiums
- Up to 50% reimbursement of additional freight and insurance costs for MSME exporters (capped at ₹50 lakh per IEC).
This scheme is specifically designed to mitigate the impact of war-risk premiums, emergency surcharges and logistics disruptions, and to ensure that exporters are able to continue shipments without undue financial stress.
The Government remains committed to supporting exporters during this period and ensuring that India’s export momentum is sustained
