A law firm has been engaged to initiate and deal with the consequential legal matters for the protection of GI/ Certification Mark for ‘Basmati’, both in India and foreign jurisdictions.

“Applications have been filed in 19 foreign jurisdictions for protection of GI/ Certification Mark vested in Basmati,” he said.

A Geographical Indication (GI) is primarily an agricultural, natural or a manufactured product (handicrafts and industrial goods) originating from a definite geographical territory. Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness, which is essentially attributable to the place of its origin.

In another reply, Puri said that as on February 26, 2021, the value of scrips issued under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) is Rs 15,452.83 crore compared to Rs 39,530.45 crore in 2019-20.

The MEIS has been discontinued with effect from January 1, 2021.
