Subject: To decide whether value added product can be allowed to manufacture

the end product under 16 Advance Authorizations No.(1) 3410043984 dated 21.03.2018, (2) 3410044027 dated 09.04.2018, (3) 3410044026 dated 09.04.2018, (4) 3410044028 dated 09.04.2018, (5) 3410044066 dated 19.04.2018, (6) 3410044281 dated 26.06.2018, (7) 3410044303 dated 05.07.2018, (8) 3410044555 dated 08.10.2018, (9) 3410044556 dated 08.10.2018, (10) 3410044569 dated 10.10.2018, (11) 3410044571 dated 10.10.2018, (12) 3410044570 dated 10.10.2018, (13) 3410044796 dated 07.01.2019, (14) 3410045140 dated 15.05.2019, (15) 0310822820 dated 02.08.2018 and (16) 0310822970 dated 10.08.2018. Applicant Statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. The applicant stated that they have obtained 16 AAs (14 from RA, Vadodara and 2 from RA, Mumbai). But import of aluminium Sheets /Plates /Coils /Slabs were made in 12 AAs only. Out of 16 AAs, EO has been fulfilled in 10 AAs by utilizing the self-declared imported inputs as per description. In respect of 6 AAs, exports have been completed but import is yet to be made. However, at the time of redemption of AAs, the NC had ratified the norms by changing the description of imported items to be allowed.

6 AAs, exports have been completed but import is yet to be made. However, at the time of redemption of AAs, the NC had ratified the norms by changing the description of imported items to be allowed. The party further represented that this act and direction of the NC to import different inputs after fulfilment of EO, is highly impossible to implement and is in violation of principle of “Lex Non Cogit Ad Impossibilia”, which mean “ the law does not compel a man to do that which he cannot possibly perform’. The AA was applied for on self-declared No-Norms basis, the imported items claimed/declared are capable of being used & in fact used in the manufacture of resultant export product and so also met minimum 15% value addition requirement. The party also represented that there is no statutory power & authority vested under the FTP to change the description of imported items, except change in wastage, especially when import and export under the said Authorizations have been fulfilled and completed. Earlier, during the ratification of these norms the description of imported items was changed from Aluminium plates/sheet/coil to Aluminium plates/Ingot on the ground that plates/sheets/coils are value added products which are not the primary raw material and hence, not essential to manufacture the Aluminium conductor. For this change of description, the firm has represented many times but the NC decided to maintain status-quo. The company has submitted that amongst 16 AAs, imports of Aluminium sheets/Plates/Coils/Slabs were made in 12 Authorisations only.

as represented many times but the NC decided to maintain status-quo. The company has submitted that amongst 16 AAs, imports of Aluminium sheets/Plates/Coils/Slabs were made in 12 Authorisations only. Out of 12 Authorisations they saved USD 14,60,620.06 in their raw material cost to have edge over the stiff Global competition. Hence, they are requesting to allow without imposing any restriction or condition the input-output Norms in pie of all 16 Advance Authorisations No.(1) 3410043984 dated 21.03.2018, (2) 3410044027 dated 09.04.2018, (3) 3410044026 dated 09.04.2018, (4) 3410044028 dated

09.04.2018, (5) 3410044066 dated 19.04.2018, (6) 3410044281 dated 26.06.2018, (7) 3410044303 dated 05.07.2018, (8) 3410044555 dated 08.10.2018, (9) 3410044556 dated 08.10.2018, (10) 3410044569 dated 10.10.2018, (11) 3410044571 dated 10.10.2018, (12) 3410044570 dated 10.10.2018, (13) 3410044796 dated 07.01.2019, (14) 3410045140 dated 15.05.2019, (15) 0310822820 dated 02.08.2018 and (16) 0310822970 dated 10.08.2018 and import items be sanctioned /ratified same as given in the original advance authorisations, so that they could redeem all these authorisations. The Minutes of NC-2 division dated 09.07.2020 were seen. The Minutes of NC-2 dated 20.09.2022 were seen in which it was decided to refer to PIC. The PIC minutes of meeting dated 09.06.2020 were seen. The case had been brought to PIC again by NC-2 in Nov. 2022 and during discussions it was decided to take it up as a PRC matter. The Minutes of the Meeting No. 36 /AM 23 held on 28 .03.2023 were seen.

e case had been brought to PIC again by NC-2 in Nov. 2022 and during discussions it was decided to take it up as a PRC matter. The Minutes of the Meeting No. 36 /AM 23 held on 28 .03.2023 were seen. In that meeting, the Committee had gone through the justification submitted by the applicant along with the technical report received from NC-2 division and observed that the applicant has not submitted any documentary evidence to support their justification for importing value added products nor any justice in support of any genuine hardship faced by them, and the case had been rejected. The case had been again considered in PRC Meeting No. 10 /AM 24 held on 12.07.2023 in which the authorised representatives appeared for personal hearing in which they stated that their fresh submissions may be taken into account, including that their import is not a value added item and it was essential for them to make their Exports. They stated that they have given documentary evidence to support justification for import of valued items and cogent reasons in support of genuine hardship faced by them. They stated that they have received customs notices to produce EODC against the 16 AAs against which exports and imports are completed as per description given in AAs but these are not getting closed due to difference in description mentioned in AAs and the rejection order of NC.

6 AAs against which exports and imports are completed as per description given in AAs but these are not getting closed due to difference in description mentioned in AAs and the rejection order of NC. It was noted that the case had earlier been discussed in PIC and it was observed that it is not a PIC matter and whatever decision is to be taken should be within the contours of the PIC decision already taken earlier. The committee had decided to refer the matter to PC- 4 for detailed examination. The technical report receive from DPIIT dated 06.07.2022 and 12.07.2022 were seen in which it was mentioned that aluminium in the form of plates/coils /sheets etc has been ratified by the norms committee earlier and Aluminium plate /sheet/ coils are also value added products but can be melted and used in the manufacturing of the aluminium conductor /wires etc, and also that this is a commercial matter rather than technical and as the matter is pending in Gujarat High Court, norms committee O may take a view for allowing import of aluminium in the form of plate/ oa ts /coils.

a commercial matter rather than technical and as the matter is pending in Gujarat High Court, norms committee O may take a view for allowing import of aluminium in the form of plate/ oa ts /coils.

The oral order of High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad dated 05.05.2022 was perused. The report furnished by PC-4 was seen along with the annexures including statement showing China and India price quotation on contract date along with copies of contracts and commercial invoices; CA certificate showing foreign exchange saving by purchasing aluminium coils/sheets/plates in comparison to aluminium ingots; flowchart showing stages of manufacturing of aluminium products; bill of entry copies of actual purchases of ingots and sheets/plates showing price difference; and test certificate of ingots and sheets/plates showing both are of equal quality. The letter submitted under the signature of the Managing Director of the company stating the facts and circumstances of the matter was taken into consideration. Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submissions made by the firm and the various minutes/ reports and discussed the matter at length. It decided to refer the matter to Norms Committee-ll, being technical body, for review and disposal of the cases pertaining to the 16 Advance Authorisations as mentioned above.

l body, for review and disposal of the cases pertaining to the 16 Advance Authorisations as mentioned above. (Action: Applicant/ Norms Committee-Il) Case No. 02 M/s. Jindal Saw Ltd., New Delhi F.No. HQRPRCAPPLY00000083AM24 Meeting No.20/AM24 held on 14.11.2023 & 17.11.2023 Subject: Clubbing of two AA Nos.0510332301 dated 22.08.2012 and 0510385527 dated 01.05.2014. Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that they are engaged in manufacturing of large Diameter Submerged Arc Welded Steel Pipes adopting U.O.E. & JCO process and Anti corrosion coatings, Concrete weight coating. They manufacture pipes for catering to the requirement of Oil & Natural Gas and water Sector. They had obtained License No.0510332301 on 22.08.2012 and another license No.0510385527 dated 01.05.2014 and export against license dated 22.8.20212 has been made under SION C593, C1292 and C1884. Similarly export against license dated 01.05.2014 has also been made under SION C593 & C1292. They had already deposited applicable duty and interest against both the licenses as per actual entitlement against actual export.

icense dated 01.05.2014 has also been made under SION C593 & C1292. They had already deposited applicable duty and interest against both the licenses as per actual entitlement against actual export. Since most of the export and imported items are similar in both the licenses hence import of welding consumable and coating consumables were custom cleared inadvertently in both the licenses. Therefore, they need a _ clubbing permission of both the AAs _ for regularization/redemption purpose only in terms of para 4.38 See of HBP 2015-20: Hence they are requesting to allow clubbing permission of both the Annual Advante Authorizations for regularization/redemption purpose only.

Report of PC-4 was also seen. Decision: The Committee heard and reviewed the case on the basis of justification furnished by the firm and observed that there is no merit in firm’s contention. Hence, it decided to maintain the rejection of the earlier decision of PRC Meeting No No.35AM23 held on 16.03.2023 (Case No.40). (Action: Applicant) Case No. 03 M/s. Greenleaf Extractions Pvt. Ltd., Cochin. F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY00000415AM24 Meeting No.20/AM24 held on 14.11.2023 & 17.11.2023

Subject: Extension of EOP for delay in export of finished goods in term of Para

6.06 (C) (ii) & (iii) of HBP. This is a defer case of PRC Meeting No.15/AM24 held on 22.09.2023 (Case No.26) wherein Committee decided to defer the case for seeking the report of a joint inspection to be carried out by the DC and Joint DGFT, Cochin. An Inspection report from DC, SEZ, have been received in the matter. Applicant’s statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. The applicant stated Greeenleaf Extractions Pvt. Ltd, Cochin is a Registered EOU under the Jurisdiction of the Development Commissioner, Cochin Special Economic Zone. Their export products are Spices Oil and Oleoresins. They import required Spices like Black Pepper, Ginger, Nutmeg, Mace and White Pepper etc. As per Para 6.06 of HBP, certain specified products have a lesser Export Obligation period of 120 days / 12 months. They come across serious problems in complying with the reduced Export Obligation Period for the following main reasons: (a) Spices are Agro products and hence they are seasonal in nature. For all Spices there is a buying season and there is a selling season. Being in a very stiff and competitive international market it is imperative that they procure acceptable quality of raw Spices at the lowest price and also sell the finished goods at the highest price. (b) For Agro Products, the purchase price fluctuates very often and there is a period when the prices touch rock bottom.

ces at the lowest price and also sell the finished goods at the highest price. (b) For Agro Products, the purchase price fluctuates very often and there is a period when the prices touch rock bottom. At this point in time they are required to procure the materials in bulk to avail the benefit of lower price on inputs. (c) Similarly, at the time of export, they have to obtain the maximum price in the market and therefore will be required to keep the finished goods / raw materials for a longer period till the market reaches a peak price. Thus, on many occasions, such exports over shoot the reduced Export Obligation Period. (d) Further, in many cases, while the raw materials are processed and the goods ready for export, for many reasons, the buyers do not release despatch instructions although the Order is firm. They cannot dictate the buyer to issue despatch instructions to suit reduced Export Obligation period. (e) Unlike in the case of Advance Authorisation, purchases in EOU are not linked to Export Orders in hand, for reasons stated in the point (b) above. EOUs are permitted to have bulk purchases to derive the maximum benefit of cost reduction. This results in delay in processing of imported nes materials an consequent delay in the fulfilment of export within the reduced Obligation Peri

ses to derive the maximum benefit of cost reduction. This results in delay in processing of imported nes materials an consequent delay in the fulfilment of export within the reduced Obligation Peri

As a cumulative result of the above points, it has not been possible for them to fulfil the export obligation as per Para 6.06 of the FTP. With regard to the 3 pending Export Obligation cases as per the Statement, they inform that for Item No 1 namely Cinnamon Oil they are only left with a small quantity of 205 MT as against 2000 MT imported. This item is a rarely ordered item and highly seasonal. While they were able to export about 1800 MT within a year, they would need another full year to export the balance 205 MT. That indeed is the market situation for this product. For Item No 2 and 3, they would need an additional 120 days from the date of approval to fulfil the entire export obligation. Hence they are requesting to allow Export Obligation Period for a further period of 1 year for Item No 1 of the Statement and 120 days for Item No 2 and 3 of the Statement from the date of approval of the PRC. Report of joint inspection by the DC,SEZ and Joint DGFT, Cochin was also seen. Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of statement made by the firm along with joint inspection report of DC,SEZ and Joint DGFT, Cochin. After detailed discussion, the Committee observed that there is no merit in the case and decided to reject the request of the firm.

The case is also referred to DC, SEZ Cochin to take necessary action under FTDR Act. (Action: Applicant/ DC,SEZ and Joint DGFT, Cochin) Case No. 04 M/s. Adyar Gate Hotels Ltd., Chennai. F.No. HQRPRCAPPLY00000275AM24

Subject: Re-fixation of the Annual average export obligation under EPCG .

Applicant Statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. The applicant stated that the representation is modification of their previous submission, where they sought a waiver of average obligation on account of Hotel Industry's overall slowdown in FOREX earning and circumstances related to their company. However, instead of total waiver of average export obligation, they now seek only reduction of the average obligation due to unforeseen circumstances concerning one of their hotel unit at Chennai. The ITC Hotel business, which was launched in the late 1970’s has been operating their Chennai Hotel unit since 1984 under brand name. This relationship of 30 plus years took an adverse turn when ITC opened its self-owned property within their vicinity in 2012. This development led to conflict of interest in priorities of ITC, as on one end they had new self-owned property competing against them which was just an operated one. The launch of new property had led to a dramatic drop in the earnings, as most of the business was diverted away from them. They chose not to renew the agreement with ITC and explored other brands for “— but most of the leading brands already had presence in Chennai, they finally entered into an

iverted away from them. They chose not to renew the agreement with ITC and explored other brands for “— but most of the leading brands already had presence in Chennai, they finally entered into an

agreement with a relatively new operator for the India market — Intercontinental Hotels Group. It is crucial to acknowledge that the hotel industry had already been experiencing a downturn, especially concerning foreign guests arrivals, leading to a decline in forex earnings since 2008. Therefore, they are requesting to exclude the earnings under ITC from the average export obligation calculation, and they also commit not to avail the benefit of forex earnings towards specific EO while under ITC Hotels operation. Hence they are requesting to allow re-fixating of AEO in the subject EPCG Authorisations availed between 2009/2010 to 2015. Report received from RA, Chennai was seen. Decision: The Committee went through the submission made by the firm and report of RA Chennai and discussed the matter at length and decided to defer the matter. RA may obtain more details as discussed. PRC Section is to send a mail to the RA. (Action: PRC/Applicant/RA-Chennai) Case No. 05 M/s. Gold Plus Glass Industry Ltd., New Delhi.

The applicant stated that they have been importing raw materials (raw cashew nuts) from various regions across the world and export final products (cashew kernels) to their clientele located across the Globe. They had an issue in redeeming the two AA due to shortfall in meeting the export obligation. They have already taken up the matter of excluding imports from the least developed countries (LDC) with Indian Customs and Excise and it is under consideration and implementation. However, as one can notice, even after excluding LDC imports, there will be a shortfall in these two AAs. Their export administration team had overlooked the monitoring of export obligation individually for each AA and hence now they are faced with the shortfall of EO for two different advance licenses. In fact there were certain other AAs obtained around the same time, which were actually redeemed in excess of EO. Hence they are requesting to allow one year revalidation against subject AAs. Decision: The Committee after going through the es decided to call for a detailed report from RA, Cochin. (Action: Applicant/ RA-Cochin)
