GoI has become much stricter with PLI compliance. After the FAME-II localisation issues, DVA checks have gone much deeper. They're now looking beyond Tier-3 and even up to Tier-4/Tier-5 suppliers to verify the actual domestic value addition. That is seriously making it more challenging for these crooks to inflate localisation claims through paperwork. Those days are slowly coming to an end.
But the real problem is the red tape. DVA certification, AAT approval, audits and verification takes too long which is actually delaying the PLI payouts even when companies meet the requirements. GoI should keep these strict DVA checks as they are but make the certification and approval process much faster and simpler so PLI disbursements happen on time.
