Subject: Request for regularization of Export made after expiry of EO Period against EPCG Authorization No. 1530000620 dated 18.01.2010.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that Counting/Regularization of Export made after expiry of EO Period. We have been granted extensions in EO period up to 18.01.2020. Despite of our intense efforts, it has been extremely difficult for us to meet the export obligations due to the business hardships that the textile industry (especially Man-Made Yarn), has been going through since last 8-10 years. Furthermore, due to COVID-19 pandemic since 3rd Quarter of 2019 around the world, the exports started getting affected badly. Later since early 2020, India also Started witnessing effects of Covid 19 pandemic, which led us to bring down our production & complete month-long closures due to lockdowns in both the waves have also led to cancellation of our export orders. The routine sales volume has also taken a hit, as has the country. In addition, there has been a steep rise of over more than 500 % in sea freights, resulting the exports from India uncompetitive & further shortage of Containers had also led to delay in fulfillment of orders leading to Non acceptance & cancellation of export orders. Looking towards the above situation,

dia uncompetitive & further shortage of Containers had also led to delay in fulfillment of orders leading to Non acceptance & cancellation of export orders. Looking towards the above situation,

accordingly the DGFT under Ministry of Commerce & Industry, GOI announced some relief to the exporters vide Public Notice dt- 11-04-2020 by extending the EO period by 6 months for the EPCG Authorizations expiring between ‘1st Feb, 2020 to 31st July, 2020 & again vide Notification No ? 28/2015-2020 dt- 23-09-2021 by extending the EO period till 31-12-2021 for the EPCG Authorizations expiring between 1st Aug, 2020 to 31st July, 2021, resulting in a complete relief for EO extension for approximately 2 years. Unfortunately, we are not eligible for the relief under the above notifications as our EPCG authorization expired on 17th Jan, 2020 which is just 14 days before the start of the relief period i.e. of 1st Feb, 2020. We have also been equally affected due to Covid-19 pandemic as others. Sir, later during the year we managed to export our yarn & completed the EO against the said EPCG Authorization. Considering the relief provided to the industry & genuine business hardships due to Covid-19 during last 2 years, we hereby request for relief under Para 2.58 of FTP & allow Counting / Regularization of export made after the expiry of Export Obligation Period without payment of any composition fee. Hence they are requesting to allow EOP extension.

Subject: Request for waiver of procedural requirement as per HBP against Advance Authorization No. 0310838460 dated 25.09.2020 and Advance Authorization No. 0311006268 dated 18.08.2021.

This is a deferred case of PRC Meeting No.30AM24 held on 23.02.2024 (Case No.32) wherein Committee decided to call the firm for Personal Hearing.

Applicant Statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. In this review application the applicant point out that there is not a matter regarding GST exemption availed on 1 import condition, their licenses are issued post 31.01.2019 and remain unaffected by the recent Supreme Court Judgment. Their import item crude Palm Oil falls under Para 4.06 of FTP which requires prior fixation of norms. Due to Covid-19 and delays by food ministry to finalise norms their licenses were issued after 12-13 months of application. Even if they were aware of provisions of first import, they would not have been able to execute the export order given the delay in issuance of license. Also most exports are to SEZ and EOU and thus their genuine error did not cause any shortage of crude palm oil. | Hence they are requesting to allow relaxation of Policy on export and import against subject licenses.

re to SEZ and EOU and thus their genuine error did not cause any shortage of crude palm oil. | Hence they are requesting to allow relaxation of Policy on export and import against subject licenses.

We have availed two Advance Authorisation (AA) for import of Crude Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil respectively, against which AA is issued only after norms fixation. The norms for which were fixed after much delay as MOFPI delayed fixation of norms. Post norms fixation, the issuance was delayed due to closure of RA amidst COVID. Our authorisations were issued after 18-20 months of application and we could not let the supplies get affected and so proceeded to supply the AA file number

9 cleared via payment of

duty.

utilizing imports which were cleared

The supply under file number is allowed under the policy and we are seeking relaxation of policy provision requiring pre-import of material prior to exports. Our two authorisations are affected by this and to evidence our contention of not contributing to any domestic shortages, we had shared via our email dt. 22.03.24 copies of the Bill of Entries of Imports cleared by payment of duty before the supplies under the AA file number had taken place. We are seeking relaxation in policy provisions requiring pre-import of raw materials (not to be mistaken for the GST related issue).

A summary of the data is enclosed with this email, where the committee would find that we have significant imports and have in no way contributed to domestic shortage. In one case it is also evident that our company has imported 24% below the entitlement for which we do not seek any revalidation. As directed by the committee, we hereby are submitting copies of Bill of Entry of the relevant input items. These items were cleared via payment of duty and all are prior to the exports undertaken under the Advance Authorization licenses.

Comments of PC-4 was seen.

Decision: The Committee examined the case and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion on justification furnished by the firm Committee noted that the applicant has faced difficulty beyond their control and decided to accede to the request and consider the exports made prior to issuance of Advance Authorizations against Advance Authorization No. 0310838460 dated 25.09.2020 and 0311006268 dated 18.08.2021 towards discharge of EODC and relax the pre-import condition, subject to payment of composition fees as per policy provisions. The firm shall approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Case No. 08 M/s. Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, Pune

F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY00001013AM25

Meeting No. O9AM25 heldon 26.06.2024

Subject: Request for relaxation of procedures / policy in order to correct the AEO for 45 EPCG Authorizations.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that the Skoda Volkswagen Group invested a sum of around INR 8,000 Crore for INDIA 2.0 Project (Project 2.0) to launch new cars using the State of the Art technology at the automobile manufacturing facilities located in Pune and Aurangabad. The Group is further committed to invest Euro 1.5 billion (i.e. INR 13,550 crores, approximately) in the next 10 years. In the course of setting up the facility for newly launched MQB technology, the Company imported capital goods under the 45 EPCG Authorizations obtained in FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. Hitherto, the cars have been manufactured using the old PQ technology which had become obsolete and

outdated. The capital goods used in PQ technology and MQB technology are completely different and cannot be interchangeably used, and the said fact is also confirmed as per the report submitted by the reputed Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. On the one side, old capital goods which were used to manufacture the old cars of PQ technology have been scrapped/ disposed-off by the month of February 2022 and on the other side, inadvertently, the export of old cars undertaken by using the said old machineries was considered for the purpose of Average Export Obligation (AEO) while making applications for the 45 EPCG Authorizations.

tently, the export of old cars undertaken by using the said old machineries was considered for the purpose of Average Export Obligation (AEO) while making applications for the 45 EPCG Authorizations. Due to this, the Company is saddled with the requirement of fulfilling AEO for which no means whatsoever are available with the Company. In fact, the Company was hit by several factors. Firstly, the aforesaid inadvertent error occurred while filing applications for obtaining the subject EPCG Authorizations. Secondly, even when the said applications could have been easily withdrawn (as imports and installation of new capital goods got delayed by 1.5 to 2 years due to COVID-19) and fresh applications for new EPCG Authorizations would have been filed however, the Company could not take the said corrective steps given that the functioning of our offices and manufacturing plants was badly affected due to COVID-19 pandemic. The given situation has led the Company to such an enormous difficulty. Further, the Company has scrapped/ disposed-off most of the old capital goods by the month of February 2022 and correspondingly the production of old cars is completely stopped. Although the EPCG Authorizations were obtained from 2019-20 onwards, the production of new cars commenced only in the year 2021/ 2022. If the Company had surrendered the subject EPCG Authorizations and re-applied for fresh EPCG Authorizations, the AEO could have been automatically reduced.

cars commenced only in the year 2021/ 2022. If the Company had surrendered the subject EPCG Authorizations and re-applied for fresh EPCG Authorizations, the AEO could have been automatically reduced. Taking into consideration the above genuine hardship faced by the Company, the Hon'ble PRC Committee is requested to provide suitable relaxation of procedures / policy in order to correct the AEO for 45 EPCG Authorizations by excluding the past export turnover of old cars which was undertaken by using old machineries which have now been scrapped/ disposed-off. Also, in this regard, appropriate direction(s) may be issued to the Regional Authority i.e., DGFT Pune for necessary endorsement on the 45 EPCG Authorizations. The detailed justifications of the Company are enclosed herewith. It is humbly submitted that in the past also, there have been many instances as cited in the detailed justification, wherein based on similar grounds the PRC/ EPCG Committee have granted similar relaxations. Now, when the Skoda Volkswagen Group is poised to make an additional investment of Euro 1.5 billion (i.e., INR 13,550 crores) approximately in the next 10 years, we are facing the above genuine hardship which is becoming an obstacle in scaling up of our business Operations immensely in India. Therefore, we earnestly request the Hon'ble PRC Committee to provide suitable relaxation. Report of IIT Kharagpur was seen.

approval of PRC and humbly request PRC to allow the same. Above EPCG licenses were issued in Policy Period 2002-2007 and we had completed the E.O. within the initial EOP of first EPCG License issued to us. 1. Deemed export Invoices-cumPayment Certificates duly attested in original by Project Authority in which EPCG authorization number is not mentioned may kindly be accepted. Our difficulty was that the format of Invoices-cum-Payment Certificates provided by the Project Authority did not have space to incorporate EPCG Licence numbers. Further we had fulfilled the EO of all above 46 licenses in 16 invoices only. We have received payment confirmation from Project Authority and Banks that payment for these invoices have been received through normal banking channels. The installation certificates also confirm use of CG imported for the Project.

ion from Project Authority and Banks that payment for these invoices have been received through normal banking channels. The installation certificates also confirm use of CG imported for the Project. Thus full correlation is established confirming the use of CG for execution of the Project. The error of not mentioning EPCG license number due to above reason may kindly be condoned and our invoices-cum-payment certificate may kindly be accepted for fulfillment of EO against above EPCG licenses. 2. Clubbing of all EPCG licenses issued within the Licensing year may kindly be allowed. We are seeking clubbing of above EPCG licenses for convenience of RLA and ourselves as we had fulfilled the EO of all above 46 licenses in 16 invoices. The request is not for counting EO fulfilled for subsequent licenses to be counted for earlier licenses. In our case for clubbing, Para 5.18 of HBP RE 2006 is relevant. However in this Para, there are certain conditions that ?no clubbing would be permitted in case of expired EPCG authorizations?. This condition was removed in para 5.27 of HBP 2015-2020 w.e.f. 05.12.2017. Accordingly we request relaxation in our case to allow Licensing year wise clubbing of above EPCG authorizations.

Decision:The Committee examined the submission made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion Committee noted that the applicant has faced difficulty beyond their control and decided to accede to the request and allow consideration of the Deemed Export Invoices-cum-Payment Certificates duly attested in original by Project Authority in which EPCG authorization number is not mentioned for discharge of Export Obligation and relaxation of Para 5.18 of HBP RE 2006 for clubbing of expired Authorisations also.

Meeting No.09AM25 held on 26.06.2024

Subject: Request for condonation of delay in filing advance licence application against Advance Authorization No. 1110018000 dated 31.07.2008.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that Our company was established in 1968 in the name of Indra Marshal Power Private Limited (Formerly known as Indra Marshal Oil Engines) Situated at 13-B, Industrial Area, Sector A, Sanwer Road, Indore. Initially our main line of business was to manufacture all agricultural machinery i.e. Pump set, Air Compressor, Power Weeder, Agricultural Equipment, Dual Fuel Engine, Power Sprayer, Petrol Brush Cutter, Battery Saver, Saw Machine etc. for use in Agricultural Sector for irrigation purpose. It was for the first time in 2008 when we went for a government bid through International Competitive Bidding (I\CB) procedure. The bid was announced by the Assam Government for supply of 10000 Nos. of 5HP Diesel Engine Driven Centrifugal Pump sets under the World Bank financed Assam Agricultural Competitiveness Project (AACP). The Contract was awarded to us by the Govt. of Assam, Directorate of Agriculture and Shri B. KalyanChakravarthy, IAS, State Project Director, forwarded intimation to the Joint Director General of Foreign Trade, Bhopal regarding Authority to sign the Project Authority Certificate for Deemed Export. As per condition of the contract the delivery of the goods was to be made within 100 days from the date of establishment of Letter of Credit or from the date of award of the contract whichever is later.

per condition of the contract the delivery of the goods was to be made within 100 days from the date of establishment of Letter of Credit or from the date of award of the contract whichever is later. Since time was too short so we started planning for production of the goods to complete supplies within the prescribed time limit. Since duty paid partial imported material was available with us as usual and the time period given for supply of 10000 Nos. of 5HP Diesel Engine Driven Centrifugal Pump sets was too short for us to concentrate on any other procedural requirement, for obtaining deemed export benefit against the supplies to be made we concentrated on procurement of the remaining part of the required important components from indigenous sources so as to complete the supplies anyhow within the prescribed time limit. However, in the meantime we approached o/o Jt.DGFT, Bhopal in the mid of May 2008 to know the procedure for availing deemed export benefit. We were asked to submit application for issue of advance licenceon ?Self Declaration Basis? along with relevant supporting documents. Since we were not aware of the procedure for submitting application for issue of advance licenceon ?Self Declaration Basis? we decided to obtain relevant supporting documents first as informed by the DGFT and applied on the same day for issue of each of the documents to the respective authority which took many days. And finally the licence No. 1110018000 dt.31.07.2008 was issued. Since we were bound to make time bound supplies as per conditions of the contract.

s to the respective authority which took many days. And finally the licence No. 1110018000 dt.31.07.2008 was issued. Since we were bound to make time bound supplies as per conditions of the contract. We mentioned following information on each of the invoices instead of licencedetails ? 1. Contract details /Buyers Order No. Agri/Engg/AACP/3159/ Pt.ICB/ 2006-07/254 dated 10.01.2008 2. Contract No.DAO/AACP/ICB-STW-2006-07 dated 10.01.2008 3. Scheme details of Advance Authorization (mentioning ? Goods supplied for taking benefit as per Deemed Export (Advance licence/Draw Back). Since it was our first advance authorization, mentioning of the above details on each of the Invoices confirms that the supplies were made under the subject Advance Licence It is again

brought to your notice that before submitting application for issue of the subject advance authorization we have already lost deemed export benefit against the supplies already made for 8000 No. of the 5 HP Diesel Engine Driven Pump Set due to lack of the knowledge of the benefits being provided by the DGFT against such deemed exports hence we request for condoning the delay in filing application for issue of advance authorization and kindly accept the export documents submitted by us towards fulfillment of export obligation and issue Redemption Certificate of last 2000 No. of 5 HP Diesel Engine Driven Pump Set for under the advance authorization No.1110018000 dt. 31.07.2008.Hence they are requesting to allow condonation.

Case No. 12 M/s. Minda Kosei Aluminum Wheel Private Limited, Haryana

F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY000007863AM24

Subject: Request for Third Party Exports against various EPCG Authorizations.

This is a deferred case of PRC Meeting No.03AM25 held on 25.04.2024 (Case No.49) wherein Committee decided to previous submissions made by the firm before PRC and the decision thereon may be collated and placed before the PRC for taking a holistic view. Thereafter the case may be brought back again before PRC for a decision;

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that Adverse Impact on Trade\Post the commencement of manufacturing by the Applicant, the domestic market witnessed an increased demand for alloy wheels. This increase in domestic demand was caused due to preponement of MSIL’s (Maruti) expansion plan and increased demand of OEM's customers for cars fitted with alloy wheels. This demand (which would have otherwise been met by import because of few low-scale domestic manufacturers) was met by the Applicant. During the period 2016-17 until 2021-22, the total no of Alloy wheels manufactured by the Applicant and supplied to MSIL which were ultimately exported by MSIL outside India is approximately INR 134 crores in value. Had the Applicant not fulfilled this sudden domestic demand, MSIL alone would have had to import alloy wheels valuing INR 2,046.66 crores. Therefore, if the Applicant had exported directly outside (which though was impossibility), there would have been an adverse impact on trade because the OEM's would have been forced to import the alloy wheels.

if the Applicant had exported directly outside (which though was impossibility), there would have been an adverse impact on trade because the OEM's would have been forced to import the alloy wheels. Genuine Hardship 2016 onwards (when the Applicant commenced manufacturing) the international automobile sector witnessed a decline due to macro-economic factors which by 2018

saw a negative growth reaching almost -17% with the onset of COVID-19. At the same time there were dumping trends from China in the international market which was impossible for the Applicant to compete. This decreasing demand of cars outside India persisted until the international market completely recovered from COVID pandemic. The nature of alloy wheels is also such that its usage is limited to its application in cars alone. Further, the procurement of contract for supply of wheels is highly technical involving months of testing for safety concerns before any contract for export can be finalized. Therefore, the Applicant submits that it was impossibility for it to meet its EO in the face of act of God in the nature of COVID. Hence they are requesting to allow third party export. They request amendment of export product to “alloy wheels fitted in cars” to be exported by third party , with separation of value of wheels and cars.

Comments of PC5 were seen.

Decision: The Committee went through the submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to allow EOP extension for a further period of 2 years from the date of endorsement for direct export subject to payment of composition fee as per policy provisions. The firm shall approach RA concerned within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

The Committee also decided to refer the issue to PC-5 Division for examining the feasibility of amendment in EPCG policy provisions in consultation with Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance.

Meeting No.09AM25 held on 26.06.2024

Subject: Request for reduction in Average Export Obligation Fulfillment against 08 EPCG Authorizations under Zero Duty EPCG scheme.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that they are manufacturers and exporters of PVC leather cloth and setup a new unit for increasing their exports. In today's time customers have wide choice of designs and finishes from suppliers around the world. The main person Mr.HasnainZahid, handling the show at Azhad Trading Co expired in August 2015. This was a major blow since after his death, there was no one to hold the business. The decline was so rapid that ultimately the mother closed the company in 2021 till which their exports to them had become zero. The exports to Azhad Trading Co comprised 47% of their turnover in 2015-16, reducing to 2% in 2020-21 and 0% in 2021-22. Another point which they would like to notice of the committee is that the item imported under these 8 EPCG licenses are Rollers & Dies & Peripheral machinery which is no way add capacity to the production line. So these items imported did not add any capacity to their production

and therefore they did not have any help in increasing production and increasing their exports through the import of these items.

There was also a massive decline in exports in the sector as a whole, the decline being 51% from 2015-16 to 2019-20. Hence they are requesting to reduce their Average Export Obligation in the subject licenses.

Meeting No.09AM25 held on 26.06.2024

Subject: Request for revalidation and re credit of duty credit scrip against MEIS FPS AND MLFPS 26 Authorization Numbers.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that We, RotheErde India Private Limited, are registered as Manufacturers and Exporters of Special Bearings - Parts of Wind Turbines and manufacture and supply the same to various clients in India and abroad. During the course of our business, we have imported various parts & components required to manufacture the said Bearings. 1. We had imported these under various Bills of Entries with payment of full duties to the Customs. As these total imported material got used for Special Bearings - Parts of Wind Turbines we have taken the refund for the excess duties paid to customs. 2. These duties were paid by debiting the Duty Credit Scrips in addition to making the payment in Cash terms. 3. The application for the grant of the refund against these imports were initially rejected by the Customs in absence of the availability of reassessed Bills of Entry. 4. We filed the Appeal against the same to the Office of the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals) and the Order in Appeal setting aside the previous order was passed. 5. Customs has issued various Orders in Original and has granted for the scripts to be re-credited in view of the said claims. To sum up, the Customs has issued totally 6 Orders in Originals which involve a total of 26 Duty Credit Scrips for 33 Bills of Entries in which the duties paid upon debit to the Duty Credit Scrips are to be re-credited.

ms has issued totally 6 Orders in Originals which involve a total of 26 Duty Credit Scrips for 33 Bills of Entries in which the duties paid upon debit to the Duty Credit Scrips are to be re-credited. However, the original validity of these scrips has already expired and thus the RLA is unable to make the needful re-credit. The Customs has relied upon the extracts of the Policy relaxation Committee meeting No. 19th June 2018, stating that there exists a mechanism for the re-credit of the scrips and has quantified the amount of re-credit against each order. Hence they are requesting to allow revalidation.

Comments of PC3 were seen.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to relax the provisions for recredit to cover the ground of duty paid in excess and refer to PC-3 for resolution for those scrips for which Customs has issued Order for recredit. The firm shall approach PC-3 within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Many times, our buyers ask us to manufacture Garments made out of imported fabric of their choice for which we obtain order-wise SAAS. In a year, we export around 60,000 shipments and obtain about 300 SAAs from Bangalore and New Delhi R.As. The export obligation is fulfilled normally within a period of three to four months and redemptions are applied regularly. Over the years, in very few cases (13 in number), it so happened that after we obtained SAAs and made imports; the buyers changed _ the design/specification/size of the Garments to be exported. At that point of time, we were not in a position to dishonour the Orders and hence manufactured and exported Garments as per the revised Orders. We approached NC for the fixation of Norms in all these cases. The NC did not take up these cases as the facility for obtaining SAA on Self-Declaration basis was not available in the earlier policy periods.

oached NC for the fixation of Norms in all these cases. The NC did not take up these cases as the facility for obtaining SAA on Self-Declaration basis was not available in the earlier policy periods. In its meeting dated 28.03.23, we were given a Personal Hearing and during the hearing, we were orally advised by the NC to approach the PRC. Keeping in view our scale of operations, you would observe that these cases are aberrations. After making imports of fabrics/lining, we had no choice but to make the exports. Moreover, no one desires to lose a global clothing Brand as a buyer. It is a genuine hardship for which we are not able to redeem these SAAs. The exports have been made within the valid export obligation period and the foreign exchange stand realized. All the inputs have duly been accounted for. The RAs and the Customs are asking us again and again to get the bond redeemed. Hence, it is requested that relaxation be provided for the fixation of norms by the NC on Post-Export basis for regularization purposes only. It is noteworthy that this facility has already been provided in the current FTP (2023) vide (Para 4.04A(ii).

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to relax the provisions to allow consideration of the application for SAA on self declaration basis as per present Policy para 4.04A (ii) and refer the case to Norms Committee for resolution.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that with reference to the subject mentioned above, we had previously revalidated our authorization at the RA, Bangalore, extending its validity until 07.07.2022. The license for importing items has been invalidated for the full quantity of Rs. 500 MT in favor of IMBB, 185/186, Chinubhai Towers, Ashram Road-380009, based on the contract with the supplier. This license was initially obtained during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in supply and production delays that did not align with the planned schedule. Consequently, the supplier supplied the goods quoting the invalidation number after the license validity had expired. We now request your kind approval for a further one-year revalidation to regulate the supplies made by our supplier and fulfill the obligations under our license. We hope you will consider our request favorably and grant the revalidation up to 07.07.2023 at the earliest.
