Due to Covid-19, it became difficult to fulfil export obligation in just 6 months so it took some more time for them to fulfil the export obligation. They have completed export obligation on 22.05.2020. Hence they are requesting to allow extension in EOP for regularization/redemption of the above Advance Authorisation. 

Decision: The Committee discussed the case in detail and in view of justification provided by the firm it decided to accede to the request and allowed EOP extension up to 22.05.2020 against Advance Authorisation No.3010104719 dated 12.06.2019 only for regularization purpose subject to payment of composition fees @ 1% per month on the unfulfilled FOB value.

Subject: Relaxation from the provision of para 4.06 (ii) of FTP to allow EOP extension against Advance Authorization No.0510409102 dated 27.12.2018 where input appears in Appendix 4J. 

Page 5 of 65 Le‘ Y 

The applicant stated that they have made import against subject Advance Authorisation but could not fulfil exports w.r.t. imports made against the licence within the initial E.O. period of the licence. The EOP expired on 27.06.2020 but since the import item Stainless Steel Coils/Sheets falls under App. 4J as per PN No. 30, the EO is to be completed within six months from the date of each import. However, the import item has been removed from App.4J later vide PN No. 77 dated 06.03.2019 (within 3 months from the date of issue of licence). They have fulfilled 100% EO against the licence but they could not make the exports within the period of six months from import due to various reasons. RLA advised them to approach PRC hence they are requesting to relief from the provisions of Para 4.06 (ii) of FTP with the justification that due to global slowdown in overseas market, the company witnessed downfall in export during 201748 and 2018-19 and as such they could not fulfil EO within stipulated time. They have fulfilled 100% EO against the licence within 21 months from the date of issue of licence i.e. by 26.09.2020.

As such they wish to extend the EO period upto 26.09.2020 so that all their exports are covered for fulfilment of export obligation. 

Decision: The Committee went through the statement made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length and observed that there is merit in the case as the item under consideration has already been moved out of appendix 4J and it was there in appendix 4J for a short time only. Accordingly, it decided to relax Appendix 4J condition against Advance Authorization No.0510409102 dated 27.12.2018 and allowed EOP extension up to 26.09.2020 only for regularization purpose, subject to payment of regular composition fee of 0.5% of the shortfall in EO on the date of expiry of EOP (i.e. 48 months from date of AA). The firm shall approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

the year 2020 and 2021 there has been lesser production due to shortage of employees and also lack of export order in the international market, they could not comply with the 90 days EOP condition from date of each Bill of Entry of Imports against these 4 AAs.

## Meeting No.15/AM23 held on 19.10.2022

## Subject: Request for consideration of payment received from Foreigners in INR by Hotel Industry towards redemption of EPCG Licence No.3530003915 dated 01.02.2010. 

This is a referred case of PRC Meeting No. 09/AM22 dated 09.09.2021 (Case No. 20) where Committee referred the case to EPCG Division for examining the matter and put up the same on file to DGFT for a decision. The applicant stated that they have fulfilled the EO and payment has been received in free foreign exchange from the foreigners as per PC No.60 dated 24.12.1998. Since they are a small hotel and were not well conversant with the formalities, they did not obtain the photocopies of encashment certificate from the foreigners. However, they have maintained their records and ledgers in which the following records have been entered in their record books viz. Name of the Foreigner, Country, Passport number and date. From this record, it is clear that they have realized the payment in free foreign exchange. Hence, requested to consider the payment realized in INR towards fulfilment of EO against the subject EPCG authorization. Further stated that the following documents are available with themName and Nationality of Foreign Guest who have stayed in the Hotel. Copies of Passports of all the Foreign Nationals. Copies of invoices duly countersigned by the foreign national. Statement of EO fulfilment containing the name, Nationality, Passport Number of the Foreign nationals. All the passport copies and the invoices duly countersigned by the foreign nationals will be submitted to the concerned RA.

containing the name, Nationality, Passport Number of the Foreign nationals. All the passport copies and the invoices duly countersigned by the foreign nationals will be submitted to the concerned RA. It was also informed that similar cases have been done by EPCG Committee in the past. 

Decision: The Committee reviewed and examined the case on the basis of justification furnished by the firm and found no merit in the request and hence it decided to maintain rejection of the earlier decision of PRC in its Meeting No.15/AM21 dated 03.11.2020 & 11.11.2020.

## Case No. 93 M/s. Wellknown Polyesters Ltd., Mumbai F.no. HQRPRCAPPLY00000007AM23 


Subject: Revalidation and Extension of EOP for regularization of inadvertent excess imports under Advance Authorisation No.0310818922 dated 06.02.2018. 

The applicant has stated that they had issued Advance Authorisation No.0310818922 dated 06.02.2018 for importing 7360 MTs of PTA, 2960 MT of MEG and other two items duty free for a total CIF Value of USD 100,82,320 with an export obligation to export 8000 MT of Polyester Filament Yarn/Polyester Texturized Yarn (Dyed). They have fulfilled the E.O. by 26.08.2019. On 14.12.2018 they have made first import of 500 MTs of PTA and request for invalidation of 2000 MT PTA lodged with RA, Mumbai for domestic procurement from Reliance Industries. An invalidation letter was issued on

## Page 64 ofi 

09.01.2019 for domestic procurement of 2000 MT PTA from Reliance Industries and accordingly the total permissible quantity for imports of PTA was reduced to 5360 MT. However, inadvertently direct import of 7360 MT PTA has been debited against this Authorization while 1988.890 MT had been domestically procured against invalidation. Therefore, total duty-free procurement under the Authorization is 9348.890 MTs against total allowed quantity of 7360 MT. Therefore, there is an inadvertent excess import of 1988 MT of PTA. Since at the time of second amendment the fact of debit of 2000 MT for domestic procurement and the corresponding value was inadvertently not endorsed on the authorisation, after inter se value adjustment, this fact was lost sight of at the time of clearance of goods, both by the Company and the Customs Authority as a large volume of PTA was being cleared under several authorisations within a short span of 12-13 days in May 2019 (from 18" to 31% May, 2019). Hence they are requesting to regularize this unintended excess-import 1988 MT of PTA and they are willing and ready to take up additional exports within a short period for 3/6 months and fulfil additional export obligation against subject Advance Authorisation. 

Decision: The Committee went through the submission made by the applicant along with the report received from RA, Mumbai and discussed the matter at length and it decided to defer the case and ask the firm how they made the import in excess of entitlement.
