Legal Framework for Trade Security: Aditya Khanna’s FITIG Association shared Memorandum of Presentation to NTWB for “Global War Relief” Executive Orders.
The legal complexities of international trade during active conflict zones have prompted the Federation of International Trade Investor Gunodaya Association (FITIG) to seek executive intervention. In a detailed memorandum to Shri Sunil J. Singhi, Chairman of the NTWB, FITIG Chairman Shri. Aditya Khanna has called for a shift in how Bharat (India) handles “Contract Frustration” and regulatory compliance during wartime.
The FEMA Compliance Crisis Current FEMA regulations generally require export proceeds to be realized within a specific timeframe. However, the Q1 2026 geopolitical climate has made this impossible for many. FITIG is advocating for a legal extension of the FEMA Export Realization window from 15 months to 18 months. This move is essential to prevent Bharatiya traders from falling into unintentional non-compliance due to blockades beyond their control.
SCOMET and Force Majeure A significant legal hurdle identified is “clearance paralysis” for SCOMET-listed (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies) goods. FITIG proposes a “Fast-Track Security Channel” for verified members and the standardization of “Force Majeure” certificates to protect exporters from liquidated damages and penalties.
The Sovereign Insurance Argument From a legal rights perspective, FITIG argues that if Bharat (India) can provide sovereign guarantees for energy imports, the same protection must be extended to MSME exports through a National War-Risk Insurance Pool. This would ensure that ECGC (Export Credit Guarantee Corporation) covers “Contract Frustration” even before goods leave Bharatiya ports.
