The commerce ministry today imposed restrictions on import of gold by four and five star export houses by stipulating that they would cease to be nominated agencies.

Now, such export houses would be allowed to procure the precious metal only for their own use.

According to an official, the restrictions imposed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is aimed at curtailing gold imports, which has surged by more than two- fold to USD 16.95 billion during the first half of 2017-18.

"No nominated agency certificate shall be issued/ renewed for four star export house and five star export house status holders," the directorate said in a notification.

Four and five star status are given to those export firms which have exported goods worth over USD 500 million and USD 2 billion, respectively, during the current and the previous two years.

It also said import of gold by four and five star houses with existing nominated agency certificate would be subject to actual user conditions. They would be permitted to import gold as input only for the purpose of manufacture and export by themselves during the remaining validity period of nominated agency certificate.

Nominated agencies are those which are authorised to import gold and sell to domestic entities.

Surge in gold imports has a direct impact on current account deficit.
