The applicant has stated that the import validity period was 12 months and same was extended by RA for another one year. During this period the Covid-19 outbreak was spreading and a nationwide lockdown was imposed. The company made all efforts to procure the letter of credit timely however due to the lockdown and general shortage of manpower across the country there was a delay in procuring the letter of credit. Against this delay which was caused by reasons beyond the company’s control, the suppliers cancelled the purchase order place by the company. After withdrawal of the lockdown order, the government made certain relaxations with respect to extension of deadlines. The company was not eligible to seek this benefit since did not fit into the demarcating criteria. However, the company has also suffered equally in the given case. Additionally, after the lockdown restrictions were being relaxed the company was unable to make the requisite imports as the importing partners’ countries were facing Covid-19 restrictions in the exporting country. Hence, they are requesting for revalidation of six months to complete the import.

but the licence holder shall not be required to maintain the average level of exports as specified in paragraph 5.4 (i) and 5.9 of the Policy.

in their case of physical exports, the value of medium (Film, Tape etc.) is negligible whereas the main value is of the content (software). It is significant to note that on 18/05/2011, in case of Licence No. 0330000345 dated 02.06.2000, the Regional Licencing Authority had deleted the Average Export Obligation imposed considering the fact that they are Service Providers. Relevant Amendment Sheet no. 3 confirming the same is attached herewith for your ready reference. However, subsequently they insisted that the same will be exempted only on exports in soft form and not on physical form. Hence they are requesting that since their Licenses were issued prior to 01.04.2007, as Service providers they should be exempted from maintaining AEO irrespective of the exports being in physical or soft form.

Decision: This case was deferred for further examination.
