Subject: Request for Extension of Total EO

Period against EPCG Authorization No. 5230013653 dated 18/03/2014. Applicant’s statement: We would like to inform you that we have been issued the aforesaid EPCG authorization 5230013653 dtd 18.03.2014 from DGFT, Surat but we could not fulfill export obligation and said license got expired on 17.03.2020. As per PN no.67/2015-2020 the said license could be automatically extended for 6 months. Thereafter as per Notification No. 28 the said license can get extended upto 31.12.2021 , subject to 5% additional export obligation. Further as per FTP, 2 years extension can be obtained , accordingly we applied for extension at Office of Jt.DGFT Surat on payment of requisite composition fee, to validate license till 31.12.2023. We had applied for EOP extension for 2 years in DGFT on 20/04/2023 but till date no extension was granted to us .After constant follow up with DGFT Office Surat in person, we came to know that said file was left unattended due to some reason and was lying in system . Now query has been raised on 01.08.2024 that there is some short payment (copy attached for your reference) . We were eligible for extension only till 31.12.2023 , now presently its August 2024 , when we received query i.e. 14 months are fulfilling deficiency . Therefore request your goodself to kindly grant us extension of 8 months from date of endorsement, which we were eligible when we applied for extension .The said license got expired when license was valid in DGFT Office itself, leading to non fulfillment of export obligation. Therefore, request your good self to kindly allow us extension for further 9 months from date of endorsement so we can fulfill export obligation. Decision:The Committee went through the justification given by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. The Committee decided to accede to the request and allow EOP extension againstEPCG Authorization No. 5230013653 dated 18.03.2014 for a further period of 9 months from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fee as per policy provisions.

Subject: Request for condonation for inadvertently neglect to mention

Nominated Agency i.e. Diamond India Limited (DIL) BOE No 6299599 dt 07-Jun-23, Port Code: INDEL4 including their Invoice No OX23G1KDEL105 dt 23.06.2023 in Shipping Bill 3472826 dt 25.08.2023, 3898754 dt 13.09.2023 & 3219670 dt 16.08.2023. Applicant’s statement: We are a MSME and 1st time exporter of Plain and Studded Gold Jewellery. We have 1st time procured 1000 gms of Gold from Nominated agency (NA) i.e. Diamond India Ltd for export of Gold Jewellery to a USA buyer. The gold was procured from DIL vide Invoice No OX23G1KDEL105 dt 23.06.2023 and it was imported by DIL vide BOE No 6299599 dt 07-Jun-23. Against this we have made exports for total quantity of 996.37 gms vide Shipping Bill No 3472826 dt 25.08.2023, 3898754 dt 13.09.2023 &3219670 dt 16.08.2023 complying FTP and HBP norms i.e. Value addition, wastage, etc. However, we inadvertently forgot to mention Nominated Agency i.e. Diamond India Limited (DIL) BOE No 6299599 dt 07-Jun-23, Port Code: INDEL4 including their Invoice No OX23G1KDEL105 dt 23.06.2023 in above Shipping Bills though it was mentioned in export invoices and export invoice is considered part of SB. Reasons/Justification: 1. This was our 1st export availing gold from a Nominated agency (NA) and it was an urgent order. The designs finalization took some time initially and all designs selected were too antique and too much customization was desired by the overseas buyer but wanted the product to be delivered on urgent basis. It was our 1st export order, so we ensured the highest quality product is delivered to the buyer. Immense time and energy were invested as multiple time rework was done for manufacturing the desired product. Finally, when the products were ready and approved by the buyer, the buyer insisted on shipping the goods the next day itself else its client may cancel the order. Being a 1st time exporter it was really hard to ship the goods complying with all the rules and regulations in a day. We prepared an export invoice, packing list etc. consulting many and entrusted the customs formalities to Customs House Agent (CHA) including filling of the shipping bills. The DIL sale invoice details were mentioned in the export invoice and reference of export invoice was mentioned in the shipping bill. The order must be exported in a day, or it may have got cancelled but we tried our best to get the draft export documents vet by Nominated Agency however as per their practice they scrutinize post exports only and council don?t guide on it. 2. There is no concise manual for 1st time exporters like us and has to follow CHA/customs advice only. We went by their advice, complied all norms “sal aaa

and successfully completed the exports. Post exports, when documents were submitted to DIL, it was informed by DIL that we should have mentioned DIL BOE No, date and their invoice details in shipping bill also though it was mentioned in our export invoice and export invoice is part of shipping bill. 3. This being our 1st urgent export order, neither export experience nor time was there to go through the complete FTP/HBP (beyond what is being advised by customs/CHA), understand and implement the same in our shipping bills in a day though it was already mentioned in export invoice and export invoice is part of SBs. It was beyond our control to envisage NA requirement over and above what is required by customs for export. 4. We have also attached CA certificate with UDIN No: 23078035BGVAYD3364 dt 14.11.23 confirming usage of said gold for export of jewellery vide above SBs. Prayer: From all the reasons/justifications provided above it was beyond our control to envisage and implement NAs requirement in SBs also though it was mentioned in export invoice and export invoice is part of SB. This NA requirement is beyond what is being required by customs for allowing exports as per FTP/HBP. We may have implemented this NA requirement on own if enough time would have been allowed by buyer to export goods. In sum, we reiterate it was beyond our control to avoid hence we request for condonation for inadvertently forget to mention Nominated Agency BOE No and Date including their sale invoice details in Shipping Bills though it was mentioned in our export invoices. Decision:The Committee examined the statements made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length and observed 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. (Action: Applicant) Case No.04 M/s. Fresh Express Logistics Private Limited, Maharashtra F.No. HQRPRCAPPLY000010922AM25 Meeting No.21AM25 held on 06.11.2024

Subject:Request for submit proof of payment of IGST with interest as

per Trade Notice No 27/2023 dated 25.09.2023 Advance Authorization Redemption No. 3110067268 Dated 28.12.2018. Applicant’s statement: We write to formally request the reconsideration of our pending claim for the balance 5% under the Target Plus Scheme (TPS), following our previous communication with the Committee on April 26, 2023. Upon your direction, we approached the Mumbai Regional Authority (RA); however, our case was closed as per their procedural guidelines in their letter dated March 10, cdl “al —k-

Unless the Committee grants a relaxation of these procedures, our case remains closed. In our ongoing efforts, we have come across Trade Notice No. 1/AM25 dated August 29, 2024, issued by the Delhi RA, which addresses a similar situation. This has prompted us to once again seek your esteemed support. In our application for TPS benefits dated December 20, 2006, we reported an incremental export growth of 26.45% for the fiscal year 2005-06, as expressed in terms of FOB value in USD. We were awarded TPS at a rate of 5% in October 2007; however, the applicable rate for cases exceeding 25% growth is 10%. Following the Supreme Court order and the subsequent Trade Notice from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) regarding TPS, we submitted an application for the remaining 5% TPS claim in August 2017. Unfortunately, this was rejected by the DGFT-Mumbai, without giving opportunity of personal hearing, on the grounds that our growth in incremental exports was only 24% when calculated in Indian Rupees. Our submission has not considered on merits. This rejection is fundamentally flawed, as Appendix 17D explicitly specifies that incremental growth must be calculated in USD (refer Sr. No. 6 of table appendix 17D along with formula given for calculation), with the entitlement value for TPS assessed in INR. Our documented incremental export growth of 26.45% in USD under Appendix 17D confirms our eligibility for the full 10% benefits under TPS. Furthermore, upon the Mumbai RA?s objection regarding our reported growth being below 25%, we sought certification from the GST office to validate our actual growth, excluding ineligible categories. The GST authorities have corroborated that our growth is, in fact, 29.16% in FOB value in USD, thereby surpassing the required threshold. In light of these circumstances and the procedural obstacles we are encountering, we respectfully request the Committee to consider granting a relaxation of the procedures to allow the RA to reopen our case for a thorough re-examination of our entitlement. Additionally, we seek the support of the Policy Section of DGFT, New Delhi, to address the critical issue of accurately calculating incremental growth as per the guidelines. Decision:The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. The Committee noted that it is not a PRC matter. The deficiency letter issued by RA advising AH to deposit Duty with Interest will stand withdrawn and AH may follow the procedure contained in Customs Circular 16/2023 dated 07.06.2023 .RA may review progress in the matter in due course.

Applicant Statement: First of all, we would like to give details in a chronological order, as below. 29/03/2019 - Application fee deposited / payment made for issuance of new EPCG Licences . 23/04/2019 - Hard copy of application submitted to ADGFT, Bangalore office. 25/04/2019 - हिS Se

Deficiency raised by ADGFT, Bangalore office. 25/11/2020 & 23/11/2020

• We replied to the deficiency raised by ADGFT, Bangalore office. We replied late as the import of CG was put on hold due to some reasons. 04/12/2020 - We sent request mail to DGFT-BLR for issuance of EPCG licenses. 16/12/2020 - We requested DGFT-BLR to issue licenses in new DGFT website as DGFT migrated to new website. 23/12/2020 - Request letter submitted to DGFT-BLR for cancellation of our applications submitted in old website of DGFT as during our visit, we were told that it may take time for the integration or migration of data from old website to new website so we should ask for cancellation of old applications and need to apply afresh at new website & we followed it. In the same letter we informed that we would submit refund applications separately because the application fee deposited but licenses not issued due to technical glitches in the website of DGFT . 25/01/2021 & 12/01/2021 - Refund applications submitted to DGFT-BLR . 06/04/2021 - Reminder letter submitted to DGFT-BLR office to process our cases for refund . 12/07/2022 - Contacted Bangalore DGFT Officer via virtual conference meet to update the status of our refund applications & as asked by them we once again submitted scanned copies of all documents of refund applications. 26/07/2023 - Since there was no reply to our earlier mails, we once again contacted DGFT-BLR through Virtual Conference meet and reminded them for refund. 11/09/2023 - Reminder mail sent by us. 16/10/2023 - Reminder mail sent by us. 05/12/2023 - No reply from DGFT-BLR so visited to know the status. During our visit they advised us to submit a refund application online on the DGFT website. 15/12/2023 - We informed the difficulties faced while preparing online refund application. 18/12/2023 - Received reply from DGFT-BLR that they have tagged our issue to technical team for solution. 02/01/2024 - Reminder mail sent by us. 11/01/2024 - Reminder mail sent by us. 04/03/2024 - We received letter from DGFT-BLR in which they mentioned that we are not eligible for refund as per appendix 2K & 2.05 of HBP. In view of the above given details in chronological order, we may conclude that if there was no problem with the DGFT website for migration of data from old to new website then we could have been issued EPCG licenses without any need to cancel the old applications and to apply afresh at new website. In such cases, the rule for applying for a refund within one year from the date of payment would have not become applicable. Therefore, we most humbly request you to allow us refund of application fee by relaxing the procedural lapse of not applying it within stipulated time of one year as the need for applying refund would have not been there if the DGFT website was working fine. Hope you would appreciate the facts and circumstances and will do the needful to avoid unnecessary harassment to exporters caused by technical glitches in the website of DGFT as explained above.

Subject: Request for clubbing

of Authorizations against Advance Authorization No. 5210041730 dated 15.01.2016, 5210042694 dated 10.07.2018 Applicant Statement: We would like to inform you that as per PN No. 40/2023 dtd.12.02.2024 clubbing of advance license can be done if license issued within 24 months from the date of issue of earliest authorization. In the current scenario of Licence No.5210041730 dtd 15.01.2016 wherein export obligation of 1000000 kgs was done and we were allowed to import 1050000 kgs against the said license. In matter of License No.5210042694 dtd 10.07.2018 no export was done by us. but import of 241935 kgs was done in this license. As per public notice clubbing can be done if license issued within 24 month from date of earliest authorization i.e. 5210041730 dtd 15.01.2016 in our case. Considering the dates 24 months ends on 14.01.2018 but import has been done by us in license no 5210042692 dtd 10.07.2018 which is issued 6 months later than allowed date. But considering the fact that we have done much excess export genuinely the import benefit must not be denied from us therefore we are asking condonation of only 6 months to consider for clubbing. Furthermore as per condition import has to be completed within 30 months from date of earliest authorization i.e. 14.07.2018 in our case if we calculate from date of earlier Authorization dtd15.01.2016.

Accordingly we are submitting details for your positive and kind consideration. Introduction and Details are as below: We are a MICRO LEVEL MSME manufacturing unit which started manufacturing since

Se | rial

2012 and based on our past performance and good intentions, we applied for an EPCG license to procure a machine, we request you to please take below information into consideration: We were mainly exporting plastic granules (master batches) to Bangladesh much before we planned to import for an upgraded machine and based on market trends (sales data of those early years' performances were provided for annual average obligation) & customer demand for better quality and faster shipments, we had decided to import the machine. The first three years of export data (prior to the import of the machine) are reproduced below for your reference, which we used as our benchmark for obtaining the EPCG license mentioned above. Financial Year Exports (in Rs.) 2014- 15 79,55,673.00 2015-16 273,33,287.00 2016-17 164,64,770.00 (business declined due to demonetization effect) Total 517,53,730.00 Our product -Master Batches are an essential raw material for the plastics industry, it provides coloring solutions & special additive solutions to various kinds of plastic products including SINGLE USE PLASTICS, our product was used in higher quantum in carry bags & related packaging products for providing colors & other additive effects. A- In the first financial year from the date of the EPCG license i.e., 2017- 18 our exports were in full swing hence we were able to achieve the Annual Average up to an amount of Rs.183,14,140.00 against an Annual Average of Rs.172,51,243.33 fixed by your good self, and our export obligations were fulfilled in this financial year. B- Circulation of news on Ban on SINGLE USE Plastic Products/Packaging from the second financial year (2018-19) onwards, resulting in a lot of chaos, confusion & closure of many units manufacturing SINGLE USE PLASTICS products in neighboring countries, the governments of which closely follow Indian Government's working plans & policies. This chaos & confusion also caused a slowdown in other permitted plastic products in the market as enough education/awareness was not circulated clearly amongst the general public. C- Our master batches used to be consumed at higher dosages in single-use plastics such as carry bags made of polyethylene, polypropylene etc. Our export business & domestic business too suffered drastically and because of this we could not achieve the Annual Average Obligations. The Ban on various SINGLE USE PLASTIC products is still in force. (Some of the news articles/documents showing the Ban Imposed have been attached separately, which is now known throughout the world). D- Further disaster of the Pandemic COVID-19 and the lockdown (Since 2020) has affected the world and the same has affected our export and local business also as your good self is also aware that the same pandemic is still fully not over. The business with international markets has still not improved & pandemic led to a huge increase in costs, a sharp hike in shipping charges, delays in shipment, unavailability of ships/containers, congestions etc. thus prompting many clients to switch to their local suppliers or their alternate import country- viz CHINA/TAIWAN. The ban & further covid19 lockdowns affected the entire business supply chain & thus reducing our overall sales & also impacted our business financially pushing us to heavy losses & brought us to the point of almost becoming NPA, while we are still suffering, छः शत]

Most of our buyers are international clothing brands like GAP, H&M, M&S, Target, Kohl, and Walmart. We are facing problems in closing our authorization, as mentioned above, as we could not realize the export proceeds of one shipment due to our buyer?s bankruptcy. Background: We obtained the above-mentioned ?Special Advance Authorization?

realized. The RA asked us to pay duty on the fabric utilized in the product exported under the said shipping bill. A copy of the RA letter is attached. Hardship: In this regard, it is submitted that Lucky Brand, USA, was our established customer for many years, and we had good regular business with it on 90-day payment terms. As it was our regular buyer, we never felt the need for ECGC cover. However, it landed into a financial crisis and filed a bankruptcy petition in the Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, USA, on July 3, 2020. A copy of the petition is attached. It owed us $2.93 million, which has gone as bad debts (refer to serial number 8 of page 16 of the petition). Out of this amount, only one shipment, as mentioned above, for $16934.40, is under advance authorization. The said amount was written off in our books of accounts. Request: Since all the imported fabric has been accounted for, and realization against one shipment, as mentioned above, is not possible due to the buyer's bankruptcy, we request the PRC to help us close the case by admitting the export made under shipping bill no. 3051441. It is reiterated that the end product has been exported, and imported material has been utilized. We are thanking you in anticipation.

This is a review case of PRC Meeting No.14AM22 held on 26.10.2021 (Case No.27) wherein Committee rejects the case. Applicant Statement: We, Suretex Prophylactics (India) Pvt. Ltd are a 100% EOU engaged in manufacturing rubber contraceptives goods, lubricants & enhancers, condoms, vibrating devices which are classifiable under 4014 1010 of customs tariff heading. While filing the particulars in the shipping bills for the period from April 2015 to June 2018 having port code INWFD6, INMAA1, INKAT1, INBLR4 we have inadvertently mentioned in the declaration of intent in reward as “N” instead of “Y” although we were eligible for the benefit of MEIS as per the Foreign Trade Policy. We had requested to Addl. Commissioner of Customs, Inland Container Depot, Whitefield Bengaluru to amend the shipping bills as per Annexure A from the p[period April 2015 to June 2018 under Section 149 of the Customs Act 1962 vide letters dated 21.11.2019, 02.03.2020 and 10.08.2020 and presented our case in person before the Jt. Commissioner of Customs, ICD during the personal hearing on 07.09.2020. The Addl. Commissioner rejected our request for amendment of 501 shipping bills under section 149 of Customs Act and instructed us to present approach the PRC of DGFT to seek relaxation for

para 3.14 of HBP, which prescribes a

mandatory condition for all exporters to declare their intent to claim benefit under MEIS while filling export shipments under all categories of the shipping bills, vide 010 89/2020 DIN No.20201072MROO01K55EB dated 28.10.2020. We have been denied the benefit due to mere procedural lapse of not mentioning the declaration of intent in reward correctly as “Y” in complete disregard of several judicial precedents allowing the amendment of shipping bills in an identical issue in the case of Pasha International v. Commissioner of Customs : 2019(365) E.L.T. 669 (Mad.) where the Hon’ble High Court held that the mistake of ticking “No instead of Yes in the reward column of the shipping bill for availing the benefit under MEIS scheme can be corrected by amending the shipping bill under the provisions of Section 149 of the Customs Act, 1962. Further we place reliance on Saurabh Overseas Traders v. Commissioner of Customs, Cochin : 2017 (356) E.L.T. 463 (Tri.-Bang) wherein the tribunal has observed that department should not have rejected the amendment application which was only a procedural formality on a finding that the procedures are meant for furthering the justice and not to hamper them and on Kedia (Agencies) Pvt. Ltd., v. Commissioner of Customs : 2017 (348) E.L.T. 634 (Del) wherein the Hon’ble High Court has held that except for declaration, appellant’s eligibility to export benefits not questionable as the said product contained to be an eligible product. Considering the pronouncement of Supreme Court as in the cases of Mangalore t ही oe

Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. Vs. Deputy Commissioner 1991 (55) ELT 437(S.C.) & Formika India Vs. collector of Central Excise 1995(77) ELT 511(S.C.) substantial benefits can’t be denied upon the procedural lapse allow us to claim MEIS benefit, kindly allow our MEIS claim to be processed. We wish to submit that the MEIS is an export benefit which is intended to encourage and support the exporters for offsetting the infrastructural inefficiencies faced by the exporters of goods and it intends to encourage exporters to compete in the international market. The relaxation of the mandatory condition of declaration of intent would achieve the objectives set out above, if the same is not granted, it would result in serious cash flow issues and would hinder our competitiveness in the international market. We wish to state that due to Covid-19 pandemic, we are already under immense financial distress and therefore, we request you to kindly allow the relaxation sought to enable us to realize the MEIS benefit as per the foreign trade policy. Decision: firm and the Order of the Hon’ble Court discussed the matter at length. As per the Court Order, the applicant has to complete necessary formalities to facilitate the extension of MEIS rewards. Obtaining an Amendment Order from Customs is a necessary formality and it was decided that applicant may be advised to obtain the same from Customs in order to proceed with implementation of the Order. It was decided to refer the matter to Policy- 3 for further correspondence with applicant and resolution of the matter for allowing MEIS once the Amendment Order is received.

Imported Quantity under Advance Authorization against Advance Authorization No. 0311015073 dated 28/05/2022, 0311016484 dated 21/07/2022. Applicant Statement: We respectfully submit this request for your kind consideration regarding the re-export of 48,100 kgs of raw material Bifenazate Technical and seek your approval to reduce this quantity from the total imported amount against our Advance Authorizations, as detailed below: 1. File No.: 03AX04000583AM23, License No.: 0311015073, Date: 28/05/2022 2. File No.: 03AX04002291AM23, License No.: 0311016484, Date: 21/07/2022 These Advance Authorizations were obtained under the actual user condition for the export of "BIFENAZATE 480 G/L SC." The corresponding raw materials were imported under these licenses, and we are required to meet the export obligation as per the proportionate quantity of imports. However, from April 2023 to May 2024, we experienced a severe demand downturn in the NAM and other all region due to market saturation, resulting in a loss of confirmed export orders from our clients. This unexpected drop has significantly impacted our ability to meet the required export targets. The shortfall in export quantities, in comparison to the imported raw material, is as follows: File No. 0311015073 (Dated 28/05/2022) ? Shortfall: 37,975.62 kgs File No. 0311016484 (Dated 21/07/2022) ? Shortfall: 176,000 kgs To mitigate this issue, we were able to re-export a portion of the unutilized raw material, Bifenazate Technical 98% (imported under Advance Authorizations 0311016484 and 0311015073), amounting to 48,100 kgs to European countries. This re-export was carried out under a free shipping bill, and no benefits were availed on the export. In view of this, we kindly request your esteemed committee to approve the reduction of the re-exported quantity of 48,100 kgs from the total imported quantity of Bifenazate Technical. This adjustment would allow us to proportionally reduce our export obligation and facilitate the clubbing and redemption process of both Advance Authorizations. We are actively pursuing new orders for Bifenazate 480 G/L SC and remain committed to fulfilling the remaining export obligation once the re-exported quantity is considered. We sincerely request your kind approval for this adjustment, which will allow us to proceed towards the closure of our Advance Authorizations. Decision: firm and discussed the matter at length and it decided to obtain copy of FreeShipping Bills from the firm. Thereafter the case may be brought back again before PRC for a decision.

Further, the firm was directed to approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the meetings. The minutes of the Meeting was uploaded on the DGFT website on 16.03.2023. And whereas, as per the decision of the Committee, since we had to approach the RA office within 30 days of uploading of minutes, hence as per the given process towards online filing of such applications, we went on to file the request Online through MEIS Portal on DGFT website, under the option of PRC decision, but the portal at one point, does not allow us to proceed, because of an error, stating This IEC is not allowed to apply for MEIS for this year of rendering services. We don’t know the reason for the stated error. Is it because, the portal has not yet been made accessible to the firm by DGFT, to file application afresh for MEIS as per the PRC decision. And whereas, when after several attempts to file online application failed, we had made online complaint at DGFT Website through request No. 202303204005 dated. 24/03/2023 (Copy attached / uploaded).

However, we were regularly tried to file application. On 06.11.2023 we were finally able to file application. Hence, the delay in filing the application was not due to our fault but due to the technical issue at DGFT website. However, RA Kolkata has issued us with the discrepancy that since we have not applied within the mandatory period of 30 days hence our application could not be accepted. We have also replied to this discrepancy stating the fact that we are unable to file the application due to the technical issue but they asked us to approach Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC). In view of the above circumstances, we do hereby request the Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) to allow us a grace period for approaching RA office, from the date of uploading of minutes under relaxation of Policy and procedure in terms of Para 2.59 of the FTP2023. We sincerely believe you would kindly take a positive decision in the matter at the earliest. Decision: The Committee reviewed and examined the case and discussed the matter at length.
