Annexure –II
Details of decision taken against individual cases :
Issue regarding payment of composition fee in case of revalidation of licence. Before discussing the agenda for the PRC meeting dt.30.1.08, the above issue was raised by concerned Jt.DGFTs who had attended the Open House recently held in Mumbai by FIEO. With the permission of Chair, the issue was discussed in the Committee and it was felt that the composition fee of 2% of unutilised cif value in case of revalidation of licence is over-burdensome for the exporters who have been pleading for relief in this regard in different fora. The, Committee decided to reduce the composition fee from 2% to 1% on unutilised cif value in case of revalidation of licence. However, it was decided to apply this reduced rate of composition fee only to cases approved by PRC in this meeting and to future cases. Thus, earlier cases of revalidation duly approved by PRC shall not be reopened for this purpose. Further it was discussed whether the basis of composition fee will change from cif value of advance licence to duty saved amount. However, it was noted that the problem in case of duty saved amount will arise as to duty at the time of import or duty at the time of issue of licence etc. Hence, it was decided to continue with the cif value rather than the duty saved amount as the basis of composition fee.

F.No.01/60/162/377/AM08/EFGC (PRC)

Subject: Request for export obligation against advance licence No.0510167410

dt.27.9.2005 to run concurrently with advance licence No.0510165618 dt.1.9.2005.

The Committee noted that two licences, namely 0510167410 dt.27.9.2005 & 0510165618 dt.1.9.2006 were issued for import of components for the same export product, namely, “EVA Injection Moulding Machine” (2 Nos.) for footware. In such a case, the firm should have applied for additional components needed for the export product by way of amendment to the original licence i.e. 0510165618 dt.1.9.2005. However, it seems that the firm has inadvertantly taken the second licence No. 0510165618 dt.1.9.2005 for import of a few additional components for the export product indicating the same export obligation. Thus, the export obligation, both value and qty. wise has been counted twice against both the licences. It was noted by the Committee that the combined cif value of both the licences is about Rs.35.11 lakh and the value of E.O. is Rs.48.40 Lakh. Thus, the value addition being in the region of 37%, the Committee decided that the EO of 2 Nos. of EVA Injection Moulding Machines for FOB value of Rs.48.40 lakh may be treated as running concurrently against both the above licences and it is to be counted only once while redeeming both the licences.
