enhance the MEIS benefit for project exports from 3% to 5% which was notified through . PN No.44 dated 05.12.2017. Indian Policy makers have realized the role of predatory capital deployed in international project exports by the Chinese Government. Further like any other project exporter were eligible for higher MEIS rate. The clerical error of not having applied at higher rate for projects export by missing out on the PN and Trade Notices related to project exports is partly due to elaborate regulatory framework specified to Project Exports. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in various judgements has ruled that the procedural lapses should never become basis for denial of substantive benefit. Unfortunately, their team did not keep track of the changes and thus kept applying at existing rate. They acknowledge the lapses at their end, the Committee also appreciate that the other project exporters who despite of filing at higher rate were issued claim at lower rate until March 2019. The balance portion due to them was to be issued as a “supplementary claim". The procedure to claim enhanced rate for Project Exports was announced vide Trade Notice 30/2018-19 dated 11.09.2018.

portion due to them was to be issued as a “supplementary claim". The procedure to claim enhanced rate for Project Exports was announced vide Trade Notice 30/2018-19 dated 11.09.2018. Trade Notice No. 28 dated 05.08.2019 was introduced to grant additional claim of MEIS for several products including project exports subject to fulfilment of certain condition where MEIS licence at base rate was already issued. We seek relaxation in the condition of Trade Notice No. 28 dated 05.08.2019 for grant of additional MEIS for project exports and grant us additional MEIS for project exports where MEIS licence at base rate was already issued by DGFT. Hence they are requesting to allow additional MEIS benefit to project exporters.

Decision: The Committee reviewed the case and went through the additional submissions made. It was noted that the IT system was operationalised by NIC with effect from 13.09.2018 for availing higher rate of MES incentive for the exports made under Project Exports category. The choice made by the exporting firm to avail lower MEIS benefits in the normal category was of its own volition and MEIS scrips were issued as per the applications submitted by firm. The Committee noted that sufficient time period was available with the firm to apply in the Project category module after its ; implementation in September 2018 and the export benefits would not have been time barred or subject to a late cut. Not keeping track of the rules and regulations duly announced in public domain cannot be treated as a hardship by the exporter.
