Meeting No.16AM25 held on 20.09.2024

Subject: Request for extension of EOP against Advance Authorization No. 3211001002 dated 21.05.2021, 3211000870 dated 29.04.2021, 3211000860 dated 27.04.2021.

Applicant’s statement: Due to the outbreak of Covid 19 during the validity of EOP of subject Advance Authorizations, we could not fulfill the exports within the extended EO Period. 2. All our manufacturing activities and exports were severely disrupted and crippled on account of COVID-19 and the 2 major lockdowns. 3. Due to cancellation of domestic and export orders and disruption of manufacturing activities due to major lockdowns and lack of manpower our plant was operating at very low capacity. 4. It took us nearly 3 years to emerge from the negative and disruptive impact of COVID-19 and to resume normal operations. 5. Despite the severe impact we have commenced exports and have managed to make some exports, but they were not sufficient to fulfill 100% export obligation. 6. Now we have sufficient export orders in hand, and we are confident of fulfilling 100% export obligation within 6 months. Copies of export orders are enclosed for your ready reference. 7. We belong to the MSME category and have borne the brunt of the crippling impact of COVID-19 & if EOP extension is not granted to us we will face genuine hardship. The 2 major lockdowns and the consequent disruptions and lack of manpower were beyond our control. 8. As we are barely emerging out of the impact of COVID-19 if extension in EOP is not granted to us, we will face a severe financial crunch and will not be able to sustain our manufacturing and export activities. This will also result in loss of jobs for our workers. 9. We are making a valuable contribution to the foreign exchange earnings of the country. 10. The Hon’ble PRC should take into account that if EOP extension is denied to us, being a MSME enterprise our

very existence and survival will be under threat and on the contrary granting us 6 months extension in EOP will not only enable us to fulfill 100% export obligation, but it will also enable a MSME enterprise to survive and continue its operations thereby not only contributing to the foreign exchange earnings of the country but also generating employment and keeping our existing employees gainfully employed. 11. We also draw the kind attention of the Hon'ble PRC to case no.26 Meeting no.31/AM 24 held on 01.03.2024. 12. We are enclosing herewith a copy of our MSME Certificate for your ready reference.

Decision: The Committee went through the justification made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request and allowed EOP extension of Advance Authorization No. 3211001002 dated 21.05.2021, 3211000870 dated 29.04.2021, 3211000860 dated 27.04.2021for a further period of 6 months from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fee as per policy provisions.

AVT Natural Products Limited, Kerala F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY000004560AM23 Meeting No.16AM25 held on 20.09.2024 Subject: Request for regularization of delay in the exports made beyond the stipulated EOP against EOP extension against LoP dort\

No.PER/604/1992/EOB/487/92 dated 30.09.1992.

Applicant’s statement: We process cassia bark to produce oleoresin to cater to the requirements of Lionel Hitchen which is a UK Based company supplying flavours to other food processing companies. Lionel Hitchen business with its customers was drastically impacted due to the sever covid situation in UK in 2020 and 2021. Lionel Hitchen lost its business with its customers during this period. The cassia extract business is closely associated with the holiday celebrations as it is an important flavoring in foods prepared for many customary celebrations. The covid situation had dampened general consumer sentiments in this period leading to sharp loss of product off takes from the shelf. This led to severe hold up of products in the pipeline. Our primary customer for this product, Lionel Hitchen (UK) lost its business with other snack and bakery product manufacturers. Hence they themselves were left with non-moving inventory of this extract. The market did not revive for nearly two years. Finally, as the businesses started normalizing, the off takes started normalizing. Subsequent to the market destocking, the business have now revived and the business restarted by mid-2022. The total volume of oleoresin produced from this raw material has been shipped out in 2022 under two shipments. As regard Pepper the availability of extraction grade Sri Lankan light berries is limited to a very short span in the year. The primary crop is available during the months of May and June. A very limited but slightly inferior material is available in late November and December. The competing oleoresin producers operating from other origins such as China, Sri Lankans, Vietnam and Indonesia are able to provide this price stability as they are not constrained by any policies which limits their operations in this regard. Reportdated 29.08.2024 fromDC, CSEZ, Cochin was also seen. Decision: The Committee went through the justification made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request for regularization of delay in the exports made beyond the stipulated period by the EOQU (LoP_ No. PER/604/1992/EOB/487/92 dated 30.09.1992), for items as detailed in the DC Report. The firm shall approachDC Office concerned within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Meeting No.16AM25 held on 20.09.2024

Subject:Request for extension of export obligation period against LoPNo.PER/460/(1993)/EOB/435/93 dated 23.11.1993. Applicant’s statement:(a) It was our understanding that the imported materials for EOU could be utilized within the validity period co-terminus with the LOP. Hence the subsequent sub-paras were inadvertently missed out

until recently there was a query from the Audit on this matter. Such an issue was never raised earlier. Be that as it may, there are certain factual problems which makes it difficult for us to comply with the reduced period of EOP . We would like to enumerate them in the following sub-paras. (b) Spices being Agro products are seasonal in nature. The spices have a buying season and there is a selling season. Operating in a very stiff and competitive international market, it is necessary that we procure standard quality of raw species at the optimum price and also sell the finished goods at the highest price.

(c) The purchase price for Agro products, fluctuates very often and there is a specific period when the prices are low. At this point, we are required to procure the materials in bulk to avail the benefit of lower price on inputs.

For the reasons stated above, it has not been possible for us to fulfill the export obligation as per para 6.06 of the FTP and hence we humbly request the Hon'ble Committee to kindly view our case sympathetically and take a lenient approach in the matter by regularizing the delay in fulfillment of EO for goods imported under 18 Bill of Entry as per Statement, and approval for regularization of delay for one residual item in stock to be exported in October 2024.

Report dated 29.08.2024 from DC, CSEZ, Cochin was also seen.

Decision:The Committee went through the justification made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request for regularization of delay in the exports made beyond the stipulated period by EOU (LOPNo.PER/460/(1993)/EOB/435/93 dated 23.11.1993)for all the items as detailed in the DC Report except 10,000Kg of Cardamom imported vide BoE 9166428 DT.18.06.2022 for which payment of applicable duty with interest as per the Policy provisions has to be paid and which the SEZ Authorities should ensure. The firm shall approach DC Office concerned within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Subject: Request to consider MEIS application for the shipping bills for the licensing years 2015-16, 2016-17, 2018-19 and 2019-20 as the online submission of MEIS application for the said period is disabled by the system due to the firm's name being in DEL.

Applicant’s statement: 1. ONLINE submission of MEIS application is disabled by the software / system if the firm's name is in DEL. 2. DGFT has modified the software / system to accept ONLINE submission of MEIS application even if the firm's name in DEL ONLY in the month of January - *q1

February 2022 and the same was communicated to us through email and immediately we submitted our applications for MEIS except for the above mentioned periods, as the said shipping bills were already been time barred for application. 3. Chapter 3 incentive application for the period prior to 2015 i.e. FPS/MLFPS/FMS/SFMS etc., DGFT online software / system do permit, submission of online applications irrespective of whether firm’s name in DEL or not and authorization were issued only after removal of firms name in DEL or after temporary removal of name from DEL by way of granting abeyance. 4. Disabling of DGFT software / system for non acceptance of MEIS application when the firm’s in DEL, seems to be an overlook error.

Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and noted that the applicant has not submitted any cogent reason/ justification in support of any genuine hardship faced by them. Accordingly, the Committee decided to reject the request.

Applicant’s statement:Due to clerical mistake, we mentioned wrong EPCG Authorization on some shipping bills. The said mistake happens as we were having 7 EPCG Licenses which were running simultaneously and we were doing EO under all 7 Authorizations. At the time of filing of application for redemption, we came to know that on some Shipping Bills, wrong EPCG Authorization No. has been mentioned, due to clerical calculation mistake in calculation of Export Obligations under each license and due to this mistake, excess exports have been done on some Authorisations, whereas EO was short under EPCG Authorization No 0530156965 dated 17.11.2011. We continued to mention same EPCG Authorization on some shipping bills even after completion of export obligation whereas these shipping have to be counted against EO of another EPCG Authorization. These shipping bills are not being counted/ utilized for Export Obligation against the EO of EPCG Authorization which has been mentioned on the shipping bills and the Export Obligation of those EPCG completed without taking into consideration of these shipping bills as there is excess exports obligation completed on those EPCG .

Accordingly, the committee decided to reject the request.’ We are submitting herewith our review application for kind consideration in the PRC committee for Condonation of delay in applying for extension and grant us 2nd EOP extension to fulfill our balance export obligation.

We have fulfilled 100% Export Obligation (EO) against 1st Export Item (i.e. Made-up made from 100% Linen Fabric). Our 2nd Export item i.e. (i.e. Made ups made from 55% Linen + 45% Cotton Fabric) Export Obligation (EO) was fulfilled only 18.58% within original & extended valid period. Our balance 81.42% remained unfulfilled as our 1st EO has expired on 26.04.2021.

Applicant’s statement:This Online application for PRC consideration is being filed in continuation to our application submitted long ago vide File Ref No. 01/60/162/0061/AM19/PRC towards consideration of our case for revalidation of six Advance Authorization which got expired due to inordinate delay taken by PRC initially and subsequently by RA office for its implementation. Further, this is with reference to your Office Memorandum dated. 03.05.2019 issued to RA, Kolkata, and subsequent 3-4 regular reminders Dated. 07.07.2020, reminder mail dtd, 21.01.2021, reminder mail dated. 09.06.2021 and finally on 08.10.2021 issued to RA, Kolkata, to send a report to the Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) 2021 in respect of 6 Nos Advance Authorizations as per the subject details of the aforesaid memorandum (Copy of email communication dated. 08.10.2021 with preceding reminder mails marked to us also). And whereas, we came to understand from the above said emails that the concerned RA office at Kolkata, has sent the report against three Advance Licenses out of the total 6 cases. But the report against another three Advance Authorization is still awaited from them. And in this matter, when we approached the RA office at Kolkata and enquired about the pending report, we were told that the concerned report against the balance three licenses has also been sent to the HQs. The fact of the matter is that the matter of revalidation of six Advance Licenses are pending since 2015 at your end for not of our fault. If you go through the concerned file, you will see that the earlier decision of PRC vide its Meeting No. 08/AM 2016 dated. 22.09.2015, was taken when almost twelve months available for revalidation period / first six months revalidation

period also was expired or on the verge of expiry, and by the time, we got the implementation of PRC decision done by RA office, the subject Licenses had already expired. The purpose for which we approached the PRC and got a positive decision was to allow incorporation of the name of M/s. Greenlam Industries Ltd(IEC No. 1414002017) as supporting Manufacturers / Job worker and a Co- Licensee in terms of provisions of Para 4.35 of the HBP2015-20 based on the Order dated. 31.10.2014 of Demerger of the Decorative Laminates division by the Ld. Hon’ble High Court, Guwahati and composite scheme of arrangement dated. 08.01.2015, so as to enable the company to complete its remaining export obligation / remaining Imports made against the authorizations. And whereas, although out of the 42 Licenses against which the PRC took the decision vide its Meeting No.08 /AM2015, as explained above, we could utilize 32 Licenses towards fulfillment of export obligation and completion of imports, as their validity still existed. But the remaining 12 Advance Licenses, out of which 6 Advance Licenses were issued by RA, Delhi at CLA office and another 6 Advance Licenses were issued by RA, Kolkata office, we could not utilize because of its expired validity. And whereas, we approached the PRC again separately towards 6 Advance Authorizations issued by RA, Delhi office, and got a positive decision, allowing 6 months revalidation from the date of endorsement, vide its Meeting No. 19/AM19 dated. 16.10.2018 (PH Case No. 02) against File No. 01/60/162/273/AM17/PRC. Further, in this case, they did not call for any report from the RA office. It is pertinent to mention here that, for the 6 Advance Licenses cases issued by RA, Kolkata (PRC called for a report from RA, Kolkata, in 2019, although the RA office says it has sent the report, but as per the PRC, report against 3 Advance Authorizations are still pending to be sent by the concerned RA office, inspite of regular reminders from the PRC. In lieu of the above, since the PRC is yet to receive report against 3 Advance Authorizations, it may remind RA office with details of those three Licenses, and call for the report as early as possible.

Applicant’s statement:We M/s. Dev Ventures (I) Pvt. Ltd. is engaged in the

business of manufacturer/Exporter of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC Bags), PP Woven Sacks Bags & PP Woven Fabric products in its manufacturing unit situated at Plot No. 56, Sector-Ill, Pithampur-454775, Dist. Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. As an MSME unit, we take pride in being a source of employment for over 500 individuals, positively impacting the well-being of their families. Our relentless hard work has culminated in the esteemed recognition of Star Export House status. We are writing to bring your attention to a critical situation that has significantly impacted our business. In January 2022, our entire unit located at Plot No. 56, Sector-IIl, Pithampur, Dist. Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, was devastated by a fire incident, resulting in the loss of all materials and machinery. The aftermath of the fire has left us in a dire financial condition, with losses amounting to crores of rupees. The destruction of our factory premises has not only disrupted our operations but has also posed a serious challenge in terms of funds required to rebuild and re-establish our manufacturing unit. To resume operations and restore our business, we urgently need to acquire new machinery. However, the financial strain we are currently facing is impeding our ability to move forward smoothly. We are seeking assistance and support to overcome this setback and revive our operations. We, M/s Dev Ventures (1) Pvt. Ltd. Pithampur Dist. Dhar (M.P.), would like to bring to your attention the matter regarding the imposition of IGST and interest charges by DGFT, Indore, in reference to the import of Polypropylene (PP) Granules under Advance Authorization Nos. 5610005259 dated 09.11.2017, 5610005305 dated 09.01.2018, and 5610005425 dated 06.06.2018. We have received communication indicating a violation of pre-import conditions and a request for payment of IGST along with interest due to the Supreme Court’s decision. We would like to clarify that the Advance Authorization Nos. 5610004956 dated 27.07.2016, 5610005194 dated 17.08.2017, and 5610005217 dated. 21.09.2017 were obtained before the imposition of pre-import conditions. Furthermore, exports were successfully carried out under these Advance Authorizations using the existing stock of raw materials purchased prior to the period of 13.10.2017 to 09.01.2019. We also bring to your kind notice that the EODC of Advance Authorization Number 5610004956 dated 27.07.2016, 5610005194 dated 17.08.2017, 5610005217 dated. 21.09.2017, 5610005259 dated 09.11.2017 and 5610005305 dated 09.01.2018 already received and application for EODC of Advance Authorization Number 5610005425 dated 06.06.2018 submitted at your good office i.e. DGFT, Indore. We believe that the imports made under the aforementioned Advance Authorizations should not be considered a violation of pre-import conditions. The exports conducted during the period before 13.10.2017 to 09.01.2019 were in accordance with the authorizations obtained, and there was no breach of conditions. Main Issue for consideration considering the circumstances mentioned above, we kindly request your office to review our case and grant an exemption from the IGST payment and interest charges imposed. We are attaching relevant documents, including copies of the Advance Authorizations and export records, for your perusal. We are open to providing any additional information required to support our case.
