Laptop Import Ban: India Takes Back New Rule Within 24 Hours | Tech News | India Import Export
Indian government stops laptop ban within 24 hours of announcing it
India will provide a transition period before a new licensing regime for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers comes into effect, a minister said on Friday, after the surprise move prompted calls for a delay.
In a shock decision, India on Thursday said it would impose a licensing requirement for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers with immediate effect.
"There will be a transition period for this to be put into effect which will be notified soon," Deputy IT and Electronics Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.
Another government official, who did not want to be named, said the proposal could be deferred by at least a month and the notification will be issued by later on Friday.
India's trade, electronics and IT ministry did not immediately reply to an email seeking comments.
Chandrasekhar's comments come after another government official told Reuters earlier on Friday that industry had requested a deferral of the new import licence order by three to six months.
