Applicant's statement: This is a defer case of PRC Meeting No.03/AM24 held on 12.05.2023 (Case No.13) wherein Committee decided to refer the matter to PC-4 Section for comments as to whether recent order of Supreme Court on pre-import condition under Advance Authorization Scheme has a bearing on the request made by the applicant.

One of the input is natural rubber which is covered under. Appendix 4J stipulating condition of export within 6 months from the date of import. — However due to Covid problem worldwide there was no proper communication with overseas buyer and supplier. Therefore export against some shipping bills is beyond 6 months. There is procedural lapse which is beyond our control. Our total export is more than the obligation imposed on the licence. There is no loss to government. The request is being made to relax the condition of Appendix 4J. We are not seeking any relief for the exports made prior to import but seeking PRC approval for EO fulfilled against some shipping bills of subsequent licences to be allowed to be counted against the previous licences and for exports made beyond EOP to be regularised. License wise details are attached.

Now PC-4 Section has furnished their comments and informed that para 4.36 (xv) (a) of HBP, 2023 is relevant in this case. As per statement of imports of three AAs furnished by the applicant, the earliest import of Natural Rubber was made on 04.05.2018, hence exports made up to 03.11.2018 against all three AAs are acceptable for clubbing. Moreover, the Hon’bie Supreme Court order for pre-import condition has no bearing in this case as in the instant case, the pre ~import is imposed due to an item already covered under Appendix4J. Decision:The Committee discussed the case at length on the basis of justification provided by the applicant and noted that the applicant has faced difficulty beyond their control and observed that there is a merit in the case. Accordingly, the Committee decided to allow nine shipping bills bearing advance license number 0510407615 dated 27.08.2018to be considered for EO fulfilment against advance license number 0510405824 dated 09.03.2018 (SBs No. 7555858, 7985339, 8262548, advance8325046,89744641069561, 1426904, 2035524, 3731129) and six shipping bills bearing fulfilment license number 0510410735 dated 27.05.2019 to be considered for EO against advance license number 0510407615 dated 27.08.2018 (SBs No. 4477940,4564325,5182418,5565527,6562619,2600482), for regularisation purpose.
