Component II of the RELIEF initiative has been extended until which date?
- A.31 December 2026
- B.31 March 2027
- C.30 September 2027
- D.31 March 2028
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 31 March 2027. The Department of Commerce has carried forward the timelines of Component II of RELIEF, the time-bound intervention that sits under the Export Promotion Mission, up to the close of March 2027, and the change was notified through Notification No. 37/2026-27 issued on 30 September 2026. The reason recorded is the continuing geopolitical disturbance in West Asia and its effect on sea logistics in the Gulf and the regions around it. Option A ends the scheme at the close of the calendar year, which is not what was notified. Option C confuses the date of the notification itself, which falls in September, with the new deadline. Option D stretches the measure a full year beyond the announcement. Candidates should tie the deadline to the financial year ending in March 2027, because RELIEF is a time-bound measure rather than a standing scheme.
