Ab yeh $6 billion ka refund milna bilkul bhi aasaan nahi hai. Asal mein, Indian companies ko apne US buyers yaani importers ke saath achhi dealings karni padegi. Yeh paisa wapas milna poori tarah inhi commercial relationships par depend karta hai. Agar ties weak hain toh refunds milne mushkil ho sakte hain.
Toh yeh sab hua kaise? Well, US Supreme Court ne February 2026 mein yeh ruling di ki Trump administration dwara lagaye gaye kuch tariffs illegal the. Iske baad, US Customs and Border Protection ne April 2026 se refunds process karna shuru kar diya hai, apne CAPE system ke through.
Ek zaroori baat yeh hai ki government se seedha refund sirf woh US importers hi claim kar sakte hain jinhone pehle tax bhara tha. Indian exporters ka koi direct claim nahi hai. Unhein apne US buyers se baat karke hi yeh paisa mil sakta hai. Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) ke President, SC Ralhan ne bhi is par zor diya hai ki strong ties bahut important hain.
Kaunse sectors iss tariffs se sabse zyada affected hue the? Mukhyatah textiles, apparel, engineering goods aur chemicals jaise sectors. Global level par dekhein toh Global Trade Research Institute ke hisaab se $166 billion tak ke refunds ho sakte hain, jisme se $12 billion India se related goods ke hain. Wahi, India aur US ke beech abhi bhi trade discussions chal rahi hain aur Section 301 ke tehat nayi tariffs ka bhi risk hai, toh issues jaldi solve hone chahiye.
