MEIS

MEIS is an acronym that can refer to several different terms depending on the context. The most widely discussed usage in recent years is the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS), a government incentive program under India’s Foreign Trade Policy. Administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, MEIS provided exporters with duty credit scrips for eligible shipments of designated goods to designated markets. The incentive was aimed at promoting export growth by offsetting certain duties and taxes borne on export products. The scheme operated under the Foreign Trade Policy for 2015–2020 and began to be phased out in favor of the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP), which was implemented starting in 2021.

MEIS can also be an acronym used in other contexts. In higher education, MEIS may refer to a Master of Engineering in Information Systems, a postgraduate degree program focusing on the design, development, and management of information systems within engineering contexts. In development and project management, MEIS is sometimes used to denote Monitoring and Evaluation Information System, a general term for software or databases used to collect, store, and analyze project performance data.

Because MEIS is an acronym with multiple uses, the precise meaning is determined by context, including field, country, and the specific organization involved.
