Case No.06 M/s. Sum Marketers LLP, Delhi

F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY00007103AM25

Subject: Request for Deduction/ Waiver of Late Cut Fee.

Applicant Statement: With reference to the above subject matter, we have received email that our case has been rejected by PRC committee due to not found merit or hardship in the arguments made by us. Brief of Case:- We had not received MEIS incentive amount against shipping bills from 30TH April 2020 to 14th September 2024. This is to inform you that after announcement of Public Notice No. 58/2015-2020-DGFT dated 29.01.2020 Withdrawal of MEIS for items in the Apparel and Made-ups sector (Chapter 61, 62 and 63 of ITC HS 2017) from 07.03.2019. Please note that all our S/Bills passed through MEIS scheme and not shown in SB Repository. But we have received the payment from the party on time. If not show on portal how to apply the MEIS application. That time COVID-19 was very bad affected in all world. Our staff was working from home. Our only focus was to chase to buyer for payment against shipment. We could not approached to DGFT due to lack of knowledge required. Also we come to know from GST department that they was hold the all shipping bills against export of Mobiles. Finally after so many chasing to GST department, they release the all pending shipping bills but DGFT portal closed for MEIS. When DGFT portal open and we have filed he application shipping bills shows 100% late cut in every shipping bills. So therefore, we are enclosing herewith a S/Bill List and requesting you to kindly allow to get all S/Bills to MEIS Claiming of benefits without late cut. This will really help us a lot to solve our financial crisis to some extent during this pandemic situation.

Meeting No.23AM25 held on 31.12.2024 & 14.01.2025

Subject: Request for 41 Nos. of Shipping bills as per Annexure-A enclosed, where exports are made due to clerical apparent procedural error by inadvertently typing the Advance Authorization No. 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018, be allowed to be accounted against the Advance Authorization No. 0510409579 dated 05.02.2019 concurrent in use for regularization purpose only.

This is a defer case of P.H. PRC Meeting No.19AM25 held on 16.10.2024 (Case No.23) wherein no one appeared on behalf of the firm. The Committee decided to defer the case.

Applicant Statement: Our Detailed signed Request letter is enclosed. 1. The CHA error has resulted in genuine hardship to us despite of having manufactured exported product using imported material and fulfilled 100% export obligation under 47 Nos of shipping bills against Advance Authorization Number 051040445 dated 14.05.2018 and realized 100% export proceeds. 1.1 We came to know that CHA has also wrongly mentioned Advance Authorization Number 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 further also on 41 shipping bills even when the export obligation was over under said 47 Nos. of shipping bills. The CHA due to an error mentioned same Advance Authorization number also on subsequent 41 Nos. of shipping bills inadvertently. 1.2 The Advance Authorization Number 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 also redeemed by our office using 47 Nos. of Shipping bills towards 100% export obligation. However, 41 Nos. of shipping bills on which same Advance Authorization Number 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 was mentioned should have been mentioned Advance Authorization Number 0510409579 dated 05.02.2019 concurrent in use. Had Advance Authorization 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 not redeemed by our office, we could have gone for clubbing of said Advance Authorization with another Advance authorization numbers 0510409579 dated 05.02.2019, issued under same Notification Number 18/2015 dated 01.04.2015 and for the same import and export items otherwise also eligible and fulfill the condition (vi) of Para 4.36 of HBP since Advance Authorizations issued within 24 months and imports also made within 30 months and exports made within 48 month from the date of issue of earliest authorizations as per detail given below. 1.3 The CLA report called for by Honorable PRC in meeting held on 01.03.2024 has been received in DGFT that also confirms that 47 Nos. of shipping bills only used towards discharge of an export obligation against Advance Authorization Number 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018. The remaining 41 Nos. of shipping bills on which CHA wrongly mentioned same Advance Authorization Number 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 has not been used towards discharge of an export obligation against Advance 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018. RA Report was seen. Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. The Committee decided to accede to the request of the firm and allowed 41 Nos. of Shipping Bills to be accounted against the correct Advance Authorization No. 0510409579 dated 05.02.2019 in place of AA No. 0510406445 dated 14.05.2018 for regularization + cul

purpose only, subject to the payment of composition fee amount of Rs.25,000/-. The firm shall approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Applicant Statement: We have been granted an MEIS License No. 3419023633 Dt. 03.10.2021, 3419023635 Dt. 03.10.2021 & 3419024952 Dt. 24.11.2021. All license granted are with the Validity of One Year. We have utilized the said license for our Own Import Clearance. However, at the time of Import of RM, on account of the classification of Product i.e., HSN we have been granted the Provisional Assessment of the Bill of Entry and accordingly we have paid the Import Duty in

Cash as well as through the usage of MEIS License. After completion of the all required formality and paper work at the time of providing final assessment of the Imported Cargo Custom has arrived to the final decision of the Excess Import duty collected from Mudrika Ceramics (I) Pvt Ltd. They have arranged the refund of the Excess Custom Duty in Two Way i.e., Re-Credit of MEIS as well as through Cheque. In this connection copy of issued Refund Order is enclosed. However, till time of receipt of the final order in Hand, Two MEIS License (i.e., License no. 3419023633 & 3419023635 both Dtd 03.10.2021) is expired and another MEIS License i.e., 3419024952 Dt. 24.11.2021 is about two Expired. On receipt of this order, we have approached the Local RLA and they denied to do needful anything since the Original Validity of License is expired and MEIS module is already closed. Since, this is the genuine case and we are not at fault we herewith request the committee to grant us the relaxation with extension for MEIS license and recredit the License Value looking to genuine hardship being faced on account of Customs Refund Order.

Comments of PC-3 was also seen.

Decision: The Committee discussed the case on the basis of justification provided by the applicant and observed that there is a merit in the case. Accordingly, it decided to relax the Policy and Procedure to allow recredit and revalidation for a period of 3 months from the date of endorsement against MEIS License No. 3419023633 dated 03.10.2021, 3419023635 dated 03.10.2021 & 3419024952 dated 24.11.2021. The firm shall approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting. Proof of recredit will be produced before RA by the applicant.

This is to inform you that ROSCTL SCHEME was introduced for Chapter 61,62 & 63 in the place of MEIS scheme w.e.f. 09.03.2019. all shipping bills processed after 09.03.2019 were under MEIS scheme instead of new scheme presuming ROSCTL software at Customs Authorities also never raised any objection or query for this inadvertent error and continued to allow shipping bills processing under old MEIS scheme. After a certain period vide Public Notice No. 58/2015-2020-DGFT dated 29.01.2020 MEIS application for the said chapters were stopped and could not understand the reason in spite of inbuilt provisions under Para 4.95(g) of the PN 58, DGFT online system shall electronically populated the entailment per shipping bill including adhoc incentive reduce/adjust MEIS wherever already granted. All our shipping bills never got populated in the online system whenever we tried to make online system and wanted to claim ROSCTL scrips for these shipping bills passed under MEIS scheme. Application for MEIS /ROSCTL scheme were also discontinued for a certain period due to COVID-19. When ROSCTL application started on the portal, our shipping bills not shown in the repository does not show at ROSCTL platform resulting nonacceptance of our application. This is due to shipping bills processed under old scheme. Due to COVID19, our exports have been declined as we are Jute Bags Manufacturer. At present, we are under a heavy Financial Crunch and waiting eagerly for release of last two year?s Exports Incentives (ROSCTL) due. So therefore, we are requesting to kindly review our case and allow Shipping Bills made under MEIS scheme into ROSCTL scheme without any late cut . This will be really help us a lot to solve our financial crisis to some extent during this pandemic situation.

Applicant Statement: We thank the PRC committee for considering our case and granting us Extension beyond 8 years on the account of Covid. Our case was 1st discussed in the ?3rd MEETING OF AM-250F THE EPCG COMMITTEE HELD UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF SHRI HARDEEP SINGH? on 03.06.2024. However, we would like to bring to your kind notice that the relaxation provided to us in the 1st meeting was not useful as it gave us only one month time to complete the exports. We are once again approaching your office for extension of Export Obligation. We would like to present our detailed request as below. Brief History of our Case: We have taken the above mentioned EPCG licence on 09.01.2015 for procuring capital goods for our manufacturing unit. Initially we had concentrated only on the domestic market as we did not have enough expertise in doing export business. We have slowly developed a team to venture into the export market, we have also participated in few global expos to promote our product. This exercise continued until end of 2020. It took so much time because we were getting better prices for our product in domestic market. On 01.02.2021 there wasa fire accident in the factory. The accident abruptly halted all the operations and there was no production happening in the factory. The total estimated loss was around Rs. 9.1 Crores. We applied for insurance for this accident. The settlement was done in installments and we have received the Final settlement only in August 2023 and we had received only 8.2 crores out of the 9.1 crores loss. As already mentioned above, we have received the insurance settlement in multiple installments, we had to raise new capital from our reserves and taken loans from various sources. Keeping in mind the Export Obligation that we had to fulfill against the EPCG licence we have applied and received EOP extension for the EPCG licence upto 09.01.2023 on 12.07.2022. However, It took us more than two years to repair the factory and we were able to restart production in October, 2023, by which time the Validity of our licence was completed and we could not do any exports with regard to this licence. After that we had approached PRC for the 1st time on 16.04.2024, for granting us EOP extension upto 09.01.2025. But the PRC has given an extension as per the Covid Extension, which was not sufficient for us to do any exports. Validity of EPCG SI. No. Description Date 1 EPCG licence issued on 09.01.2015 2 Original Validity Date 09.01.2021 3 EOP extension received upto 09.01.2023 4 Covid Extension in terms of PNxxx As decided in the 1st meeting held on 03.06.2024 09.07.2024 As seen from above, after the intervention of PRC, the validity of the licence was extended upto 09.07.2024, which meant that from the date of the PRC meeting i.e, 03.06.2024, we only had 1 month to complete the export Obligation. We would like to bring to your kind notice that it was practically impossible for us to complete the export obligation within such short time. Adding to this we would also like to bring to your kind notice that after the accident, we installed completely New Machinery. And we have taken new EPCG licence (5031000139 dt.11.05.2021) for purchasing the new machinery after the fire accident. Kindly note that we now have to complete twice the amount of Export Obligation because of the two EPCG Licenses we have taken for the same machinery which was completely burnt in the fire accident. We would like to bring to your kind notice that, we have maintained good relationships with the potential customers we had obtained at the end of 2020. They are willing to give us purchase orders. We already have export orders in Hand but since our licence is expired we are unable to do exports under EPCG scheme. We are attaching the copies of purchase orders for your kind reference. Despite the difficulties we have

We are currently engaged in Manufacturing of Push Bicycles, E- Bicycles & E Mobility vehicles to carter demands of Domestic and International Markets, and as a start-up unit we have encountered unforeseen challenges that have impacted our timeline for utilizing the authorization. These challenges include New Product Development which incurred high lead-time against new tooling development which consumes lot of time for making, correction & final trial run before mass production start, Testing & Certifications as per international requirements which is again a big lead-time activity of minimum 6 to 12 months & sometimes in case of part failure this same cycle re initiates from scratch again, to meeting the requirements for USA & EU there are many hidden things which are beyond our control. In addition to above, we have received orders for export of HNF Bikes against which we have made purchases of imported components but later on due to global market crisis in E Bike market our orders got cancelled which negatively impacted our export obligation. We appreciate the support provided by the Start-up authority and the Policy Relaxation Committee, which have been instrumental in facilitating our growth and operations. An extension of the Advance Authorization would enable us to complete necessary Exports as we are receiving the good orders from Overseas customers which is result of our strong & continuous efforts so far. By getting this extension we can liquidate our high cost inventory as well since these components were imported keeping the international market demand in view.

Subject: Amendment In SION No against Advance Authorization No. 0311029731 dated 28.12.2023.

Applicant Statement: Reference: File No. 18/30/AM-16/P-5 Dear Sir, We applied on 22.12.2015 for extension for our EPCG authorization no. 0530139117 dated 14.07.2005. The DGFT issued a deficiency letter on 11.01.2017, asking for the submission of the installation certificate issued by the Central Excise Authority. Due to the long-term closure of business activities and the departure of the responsible employee, we were unable to respond to the deficiency letter in a timely manner. On 01.04.2023, the DGFT office issued a One- Time amnesty scheme through public notice No 02 /2023 dated 01.04.2023 providing an opportunity to close old pending EPCG authorizations. We have applied to close our pending EPCG authorizations under the amnesty scheme, vide application reference no. ARNEPCGCLSRE01695169AM24 under file no. O5EEEPC04607AM24, and have deposited the applicable duty with interest, vide Challan dated 26/03/2024. However, the DGFT (CLA) issued a deficiency letter stating that our case is not covered under PN-02/2023 dated 01.04.2023, as the specific EOP expired on 13.07.2013. According to the condition of PN-02 dated 01.04.2023, regarding the coverage of Authorization as per Para 1(ii): ?For Authorizations issued under Advance Authorization Scheme (all variants) and EPCG scheme (all variants) issued under Foreign Trade Policy, 2004-09 and before, the coverage is limited to those authorizations whose Export Obligation Period (original or extended) was valid beyond 12.08.2013.? As our original export obligation period ended on 13.07.2013, the DGFT (CLA) rejected our request for closure under the one-time amnesty scheme vide letter dated 20.06.2024. Therefore, if our request for extension is accepted, our extended EOP will be valid beyond 12.08.2013, which meets the condition of PN-02 dated 01.04.2023. We enclose the following documents for your reference and further necessary action: 1. Copy of EPCG authorization No. 0530139117 dated 14.07.2005 2. Copy of receipt dated 22.12.2015 3. Copy of email dated 11.01.2017 4. Copy of installation certificate issued by a chartered engineer and Central Excise 5. Copy of application for one-time Amnesty Scheme 6. Copy of duty paid Challan 7. Copy of PN-02 dated 01.04.2023 8. Copy of letter issued by DGFT (CLA) 9. Copy of Rejection letter dated 20.06.2024 Kindly grant an EOP extension for 2 years so that our EPCG authorization can be considered under the amnesty scheme. Decision: The Committee heard and examined the justification made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length and it decided to allow RA to consider the request for amendment subject to accountability of import in export as per SIONs and referred the matter to RA for examination and resolution.

Applicant Statement: We M/s. Milan Export are a Surat based manufacturer exporter having good track record. We had obtained an EPCG authorization and exported to discharge export obligation in 2017, but it was under free shipping bill. We were not aware that the free shipping bill will not count for EPCG export obligation, hence the DGFT has rejected the same. After that we couldn?t complete export obligation within validity period since during the period of 2020 to 2022 it was not possible to export due to pandemic situation/lockdown and subsequent massive financial crisis. Secondly export orders those were in hand, buyers also cancelled the export orders due to shutdown of all international markets due to

Covid-19 pandemic. After covid-19 we got export orders, but Export validity of the licence was over, subsequently we had applied for extension of EOP and we got extension on 22.02.2024 i.e. just before 6 days of last date on 28.02.2024. . However we had tried to complete the export during this 6 days period, but due to system technical error it was not shown in customs portal hence could not done under EPCG and forcely had to export under free shipping. Now our overseas buyers are ready to place their fresh orders to us and we can fulfill the export obligation within six months. Therefore, in view of the fact that the adverse situation was beyond our control and limits, we kindly request to extend the export obligation period of the authorization atleast for the period of six months from the date of such endorsement. Please take a sympathetic view as the adverse situation and grant us EOP extension to enable us to complete entire export obligation.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of justification submitted by the applicant. The Committee noted that the applicant has faced difficulty beyond their control and observed that there is merit in the case and accordingly decided to accede the request of the firm and allowed EOP extension against EPCG Authorization No. 5230019800 dated 29.02.2016for 1 year from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fee as per Policy provisions.

Subject: Re-validation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 0311017462 dated 25/08/2022, 0311017464 dated 25/08/2022.

Applicant Statement: Reference to subject application we have fulfilled Export obligation and due to HSN issue we could not Import in initial & Extended Validity period under this licence. We have uploaded covering letter (of 21.11.2024) and export statement for your reference. Requesting you please issue further six months Revalidation at your earliest. Our regular imported raw material LLDPE has been classified under ITC HS code 39011010 for many years. However it has come to our notice that the same grade has now been reclassified under ITC HS code 39104010 and 39014090. Both these newly assigned ITC HS code also pertain to LLDPE film grade but this change was introduced after the issuance of our advance authorisation. We have duly completed all our exports and fulfilled the export obligation. When we sought to import against the said advance authorisation the Customs informed us of the new ITC HS code. Consequently we approached DGFT to seek amendment. By the time the amendments were approved by DGFT, the live cargo in question had already been cleared to avoid detention charges which would have rendered the post export benefits and nonviable. In light of above we kindly request your office to grant a revalidation for 6 month.

Decision: The Committee went through the submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length and it decided to refer the issue to PC-4 Division for its examination. After obtaining a detailed report from PC-4 division, case would be brought back to PRC for a decision.

Subject: Waiver of Procedural requirement as per HBP against Advance Authorization No. 0710061697 dated 15/12/2008.

Applicant Statement: We are engaged in establishment of hydro power plant. The Company has undertaken various hydro power plant projects in India and Abroad. The Company is currently undertaking hydro power plant projects which involves export of required equipment, machineries, etc. to various countries across the world. We have availed a total of 19 advance licenses from DGFT Bangalore, the list of all the 19 advance license is attached herewith as Annexure. We have already closed 12 Advance license and 7 are in process for redemption. Out of all the remaining advance license pending closure, only Advance license No. 0710061697 is pending due to procedural noncompliance. With regards to Advance license No. 0710061697, Dated 15.12.2008, we are therefore requesting your goodself to kindly provide us relief for the following: a) Refixation of Value Addition We would like to inform your goodself that we have incorrectly fixed the whole project value i.e. INR 44,10,90,000 as Export obligation at the time of obtaining the Advance License which is 17 times of the import value of the product i.e. 2,48,96,696.

4,49,07,432 Value Addition in % 80.38% With regards to the above import, the actual export obligation should have been 4,49,07,432. The details of the products imported, the product manufactured with technical description are attached herewith for your reference as Annexures. Accordingly, we request you to kindly amend the export obligation to 4,49,07,432 instead of INR 44,10,90,000. b) Condone the procedural lapse of not mentioning Advance License number in the Shipping bills We would like to inform your goodself that we had obtained the Advance license for the export of Hydro power plant to Turkey. We have manufactured and exported the required product as per the advance license. However, at the time of shipment, the advance license number was not reflecting in the Customs portal due to which we couldn?t mention the Advance license number on the shipping bill. Given that the export was a project export, we had to export all the hydro project related items including the items manufactured using the imported items under advance license. Accordingly, we could not wait for the customs system to get rectified to reflect the advance license number in the shipping bill due to the urgency of the export of the total project. We would further like to inform your goodself that for the above shipments, we did not claim duty drawback as the items exported belonged to the advance license. Hence, the shipping bills are free shipping bills and not a duty drawback shipping bills. In order to substantiate that the above mentioned shipments are under advance license. We are attaching herewith as Annexure the following: i) Invoices where license number is mentioned; ii) Contract copy of the project; and iii) Letter from the Turkish buyer that the hydro power plant has been completed by the Company. Accordingly, based on the above documents proof, we request your goodself to kindly consider that the shipping bill has been under the advance license itself and condone the procedural lapse of not mentioning the license number at the time of export in the shipping bill. We will be happy to provide any further clarifications or documents as may be required by your goodself.

Subject: Extension of EOP against Advance Authorization No. 0711004414 dated 22/06/2022.

Applicant Statement: With reference to the subject mentioned above, we, as a manufacturer-exporter of sheet metal components, have been availing the Advance Authorisation scheme and have successfully discharged the export obligation for over 115 licenses. We received an export order to supply Honeywell, for which we availed the subject advance authorisation to import Cold Rolled Steel Sheets. This was part of a trial supply for the customer, with the understanding that Ongoing supply orders would follow upon successful execution of this initial project without any deviations or delays. Since this was our first supply for this project, we imported approximately 27.23% of the quantity permitted under the licence, based on the buyer?s requirements. However, the buyer has yet to confirm the subsequent export schedule. Consequently, our supplies to them have been progressing at a slower pace than anticipated. Since, we have a certainty on exporting to them, we had obtained two extensions as allowed under the FTP at RA, Bangalore and executed exports to the extent of 45%. However, It was learned from them that they are going to lift these products for their project within next 6 to 9 months? time as agreed in the contract. As these imported products are subject to the provisions of mandatory Quality Control Orders (QCO) under Notification No. 71/2023, dated 11.03.2024, it is critical that we execute the export orders in compliance with the specified quality standards. Given the delay in completing the export order but with the certainty of fulfilling it within nine months from the licence's expiry, we kindly request your office to grant an EO extension for an additional nine months. This will enable us to meet the export obligation fully. We hope you will find above in order and request you to kindly grant us the export obligation period extension for 9 more months from the date of Expiry(23.09.2025) at the earliest. -‘oay!

Subject: Re-validation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 5611000954 dated 31/05/2022.

Applicant Statement: The quantity of 50 MT of U V Stabilizer was remaining to be imported in the above captioned license, order for supply of which was placed by us on a foreign supplier for shipment to be affected within the validity of license i.e. before 30 April 2024. As a documentary evidence of the above, we are enclosing herewith the following documents: 1) Copy of Offer of foreign supplier dated 06/01/2024 enclosed as Annex-A 2) Copy of our Purchase Order dated 08/01/2024 enclosed as Annex-B 3) Copy of the swift message dated 10/01/2024 for advance remittance affected for the above captioned import, enclosed as Annex-C. 4) Though we were confident of receiving this material much within the validity of the authorization but the foreign supplier vide it's letter dated 20-04-2024 has expressed its inability on account of heavy breakdown in their processing line and also informed that there will be further delay of 60-90 days on the orders booked. Copy of letter received from foreign supplier enclosed as Annex-D. Since waiting for receipt of the UV Stabilizer from the foreign supplier prior to export would have resulted in, failure of our executing the export order in time and, loss of earning the foreign exchange for our country, and as there was no condition as regards to pre-import for the export to be done, we used other raw material from our stocks to fulfill export obligation under the above advance authorization, though the material consumed out of our stock was also the imported one which was imported by us on earlier occasion duly paying requisite import and other duties. Under the circumstances explained above you will certainly agree with us that there has been no lapse on our part and we have no other option but to approach your good selves for granting us one time revalidation under the short duration of 90 days. Needless to mention that we are a MSME small scale unit started by the first generation entrepreneur and we seek your support in order to stay afloat and as such request your good selves to give one time revalidation.

Subject: One time condonation for inadvertently having realized funds in INR instead of foreign currency (USD) against Shipping Bill 4545248 dt 30.09.2022 for FOB value of $ 62287 though export invoices & Shipping bill was drawn in USD only.

Applicant Statement: We are a MSME exporter of Plain and Studded Gold Jewellery for few years. We have exported 1000 grams equivalent of .995 gold jewellery to Anu Jewellers, Australia and gold was procured from Nominated agency (NA) i.e. Diamond India Ltd vide their Invoice No OX22G1KDEL172 dt 25.08.2022.

Though export invoice and SB was drawn in USD, the funds were realized in INR directly to our current account without our knowledge. We checked with our banker and buyer to know as why INR has been credited to our account instead of USD. We got to know from buyer that they have

oD ;

paid USD only to their overseas bank from their USD account in overseas bank however overseas bank converted USD into INR for credit to us as such we have received equivalent INR from intermediatory bank Vostro account held with Indian bank. Our banker has also generated the BRC in INR as per FEMA circular 14 /2000-RB dated 3rd May 2000 para 3.1.2.a. We have submitted the INR BRC to Nominated Agency i.e. Diamond India Limited (DIL) for regularization of our export transaction however as per them funds have to be realized in USD or in INR through Special Rupee Vostro Account (FTP para 2.53) for export promotion benefits. As such, we request for one time condonation for submitting BRC in INR for SB 4545248 dt 30.09.2022 in order to regularize our export transactions for export promotion benefits of FTP. Reasons/Justification: 1.In last so many years of our export this is first instance where export proceeds are realized in INR instead of foreign currency though we have drawn export invoice on buyer in USD currency only. 2. As per buyer their foreign account in USD is only debited however overseas bank got the same converted to INR and remitted INR without taking us into confidence. We have asked our buyer to take the funds back and send USD however as per them they have correctly given instructions to remit USD for credit to our account however overseas banker played mischief and there is no fault at their end. They have also spoken to their banker however they are not entertaining/cooperating return request. 3. As per our banker, export proceeds can be realized in INR as per FEMA circular 14 /2000-RB dated 3rd May 2000 para 3.1.2.a and as such they have generated the BRC in INR. 4.Due to above issue, we had some heated arguments with the buyer and after that they have stopped communication with us. As such, return of funds received in INR and to receive fresh funds in USD from buyer is also not possible. 5.We donot find any contro! on receipt of funds from banker however after this instance we had strictly asked our buyers that they should ensure we receive funds in foreign currency only. 6.It is a fact that gold was purchased, and jewellery was exported to overseas buyer on international rate without Indian duty and taxes and export proceeds is also realized and BRC is generated.

Applicant Statement: We kindly seek an extension of six months for the validity of our current authorization, which has expired on 05.08.2024, We had completed 95% of the Export against the said AA within the validity period. We had obtained AA in the Aug 2022, in the Second phase of Covid, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war have significantly impacted global trade, altering export volumes, shifting trade routes, and creating new challenges for businesses around the world. Many countries faced production slowdowns or shutdowns, leading to shortages of goods and raw materials, Lockdowns and illness reduced labour availability, affecting both manufacturing and logistics. This resulted in slower production and transportation of goods. Global shipping routes were disrupted by COVID-19, with delays at ports, increased shipping costs, and a shortage of containers, further impacting exports. The combination of COVID-related supply chain disruptions, higher energy prices, and shortages of raw materials has made exports more expensive. This, in turn, has affected the profitability and competitiveness of many exporting countries. The pandemic caused disruptions to global supply chains, leading to delays, shortages, and reduced production capacity in many sectors. The war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, has also had major consequences for global trade and exports.

ahead with the imports and consequently we could not fulfill the export orders. History of the case as follows: 1. Strained financial condition since 2017-18. These high costs could be sustained earlier with an adequate margin on sales till 2017/18 & the scarcity of orders resulted in stiff competition & forced us to quote lower. ? That resulted in a vicious cycle of lower margins, tighter liquidity, and dishonour of export bills drawn under Letters of Credit opened by Banks at our request. ? This again resulted in Banks refusing to open fresh LCs & Bank Guarantees that are absolutely integral to a healthy, normal functioning in our space. Moreover, any credits to our accounts became unavailable fully to us due to the Recovery Mode that the Banks followed due our accounts getting irregular. 2. Non-Performing Asset by all our 7 bank and institutional lenders NCLT ? The reasons are stated above. Once a number of bills are dishonored, interest is not serviced regularly or we lack adequate what is called Drawing Power the Banks are forced to classify a unit as Non-Performing Asset. By May 2018 all Banks had classified our loans as NPA. 3. Situation occurred During the period 2017-18 to the 2023 with the financial year. ? Details of major orders received since 1 April 2017 till date is provided in Annexure 3. ? As can be seen there from a low of 84 Cr. Pending orders as on date we have good pending order book of RS. 338 Cr. ? We have also given a statement of Top Line & Profits (Loss) for the Financial Years 2018 to the 2023 (Attached) Due to ongoing financial difficulties, we have been unable to execute the orders currently in hand. Consequently, we could not make timely payments to creditors who supply raw materials and other essential equipment. As a result, these creditors have initiated legal proceedings (NCLT) to recover their dues. Furthermore, we are struggling to meet the regular operational requirements of the industry, including overhead expenses, and the payment of regular wages and salaries to approximately 500 workers and employees associated with the organization. These challenges have led to the cancellation of orders, one by one, due to our inability to meet time commitments. We struggled very hard, in order not to lose the company and with great efforts we could finally settle with the banks NCLT issued and order in 2023. After that we had to negotiate with the corporate creditor and finally we reached agreement with them. Now we are in a position to complete the export proportionate to the import made however the EOP of the licence has expired. Where on hold from 2019 up to 2024 when we got clearance from the banks. Request for Extension: In light of these circumstances, we have faced difficulty beyond our control we respectfully request an extension of the Export Obligation Period (EOP) under Advance Authorization No. 3410044142 dated 15.05.2018 for a period of 24 months from the date of endorsement. 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. 3410044142 dated 15.05.2018 for a further period of 2 years from the date of endorsement 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. (Action: Applicant/ RA Vadodara) —SF—

Applicant Statement: Policy Relaxation requested from revised import policy as issued vide DGFT Notification No. 33/2024-2025 dated 01.10.2024. Our imported goods were shipped from port of loading on 01.10.2024, the same date on which import policy for our goods was revised. Our goods are thus considered as prohibited as per revised Import Policy and are therefore detained by Customs Authorities from clearance. Advance payment was already executed in line with the agreed payment terms mentioned on the Commercial Invoice. In case relaxation is not granted, we would face genuine hardships towards re-exporting the goods. It will also adversely impact us due to losses amounting to approximately INR 7.20 lacs, especially when it was beyond our control to stop the import shipment which sailed hours before the issuance of policy revising Notification 33/2024-2025 dated,

Average Maintenance Clause. 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 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 colours & 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 pandemicis 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, however, due to our government bringing Emergency Credit Line Scheme {ECLGS} through Indian banks gave us ;

Meeting No.23AM25

held on 31.12.2024 & 14.01.2025

Subject: Revalidation of DFIA Authorization Numbers.

Applicant Statement: Request for Review of various PRC decisions rejecting request for Revalidation of DFIA’s expired due to Covid-19 business disruptions the said Exporters once again re- submitted their applications for a review, since similarly placed Exporters were granted revalidation on the identical ground of Covid_19 disruptions resulting in non-utilization of DFIA’s.

Letter dated 10.01.2025 was seen wrt PRC File No.:iL, HQPRCAPPLY00004586AM25 Dated 01.08.2024; z HQPRCAPPLY05886633AM25 Dated 30.10.2024; and 3. HQPRCAPPLY00012331AM25 Dated 25.12.2024

  1. For many cases, benefit of Covid extension of 6 months for DFIA was denied due to peculiar wording of the Notification No. 57 dated 31.03.2020.

(i) Many DFIA which lost full 6 months validity to the lockdown did not get a single day’s revalidation as lost validity was between 01.02.2020 and 31.07.2020 and revalidation was not a flat revalidation (list attached Annexure_as 1 and Part B of this letter).

(ii) Secondly, many DFIA which lost substantial validity due to the lockdown did not get compensated for that validity and got less than 6 months extension, as part lost validity was between 01.02.2020 and 31.07.2020 (list attached as Annexure as 2 and Part A of this letter.

  1. Under the same circumstances and for the same difficulties, some cases which could get listed before the PRC got approved and similar DFIA cases which were in the list of pending PRC cases got rejected due to sudden shift in decision regarding revalidation in last quarter of 2022 onward( list and some specimen decision are attached Annexure as 3) notwithstanding the fact that DFIAs got 6 months LESS notified Covid Revalidation in comparison to other schemes like MEIS which got flat revalidation of 12 months and PRC was the only route for DFIAs. 3. ARO was allowed to transferees in Policy. However, closure of DFIA Portal was notified for 10 days w.e.f. 12.11.2020 “amendment of any Advance Authorization, EPCG or DFIA Licenses would be temporarily suspended from 12:00 PM on 20th , j 9 — 6¢ =

November 2020 till 30th November 2020.” It actually reopened for transferees after about a year and that too without public disclosure and loss of validity/ expiry due to this system lacunae has not been addressed so far (list attached Annexure 4 and Part C of this letter).

  1. Omission of DFIA in Covid revalidation by DGFT , whereas original (validity 12) +6 (as per Para 4.41 HBP) +6(as per PN 67 dated 31.03.2020) +6 (as per PRC) =30 months for AA, And for MEIS/SEIS original (validity 24 )+ 6 (PN 08 dated 01.06.2020 ) + 6 (as per PRC) = 36 months; but for DFIA original (validity 12) +6 (As per Notification 57 dated 31.03.2023) = 18 Months and for some exporter 6 month through PRC total 24 months

  2. Impact on MSMEs (only one exporter {Parle} in entire list is non-MSME).

Decision: Deferred. PRC decided to call for Reports regarding points 1 to 4 raised in the letter dated 10.01.2025 from respective Sections (PC-4, PRC and EGTF.)

F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY0001090AM24

Meeting No.23AM25 held on 31.12.2024 & 14.01.2025

Subject: Request for Re-fixation of Average E.O. against EPCG Authorization No: 0530163301 Dt. 01/09/2014 & EPCG Authorization No: 0530163790 dated. 24/11/2014.

Applicant Statement: We request your good self that we want to Re-fix our Average Export obligation on the basis of our Preceding 3 years exports which were 100% towards specific E.O. of another EPCG Authorization obtained earlier. Further we want to clarify that at the time of filing the EPCG application we had submitted the CA Certificate of preceding 3 years FOB value exports without excluding the Specific Export obligation of another EPCG Authorization obtained earlier. The below is preceding three years FOB Value and their respective specific export obligation was the licence obtained earlier. FY: 11-12 FOB Value Rs 98,33,250.25 - 100% Export Obligation made under EPCG Authorisations obtained earlier and FOB Value of Rs 98,33,250.25 have been exhausted FY: 1213 FOB Value in Rs 3,33,02,975.14 - 100% Export Obligation made under EPCG Authorisations obtained earlier and FOB Value of Rs 3,33,02,975.14 have been exhausted FY: 13-14 FOB Value in Rs 3,03,74,835.81 - 100% Export Obligation made under EPCG Authorisations obtained earlier and FOB Value of Rs 3,03,74,835.81 have been exhausted. Total FOB Value of Last Three Years in Rs 7,35,11,061.20Average Imposed of Rs 7,35,11,061.20 / 3 = Rs 2,45,03,687.06. This Average should be Nil, because in 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 the Total FOB value of Rs 7,35,11,061.20 were against Specific E.O. of another EPCG authorizations. | Further, we had fulfilled Export obligation after excluding the average export obligation as detailed above. Therefore, you are requested to kindly Re-fix the average export obligation for the year 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 which should be ZERO. Please note that in EPCG Authorization 0530163790 Dated: 24.11.2014. At the time of online filing of application, by mistake we had mentioned FOB value for the FY 2011-12 as Rs.1,12,64,422 instead of actual FOB Value Rs. 98,33,250.25, therefore the above two EPCG authorization with same licensing years are showing different Average E.O., so kindly consider accordingly We had filed EODC application with the request of Refixation of Average Export obligation and we have been directed by RLA, New Delhi to approach the EPCG Committee, DGFT (HQ) for Re-fixation of Average export obligation. Kindly condone the wrong online filing of FOB Value for the year 2011-12 i.e. 1,12,64,422 instead of 98,33,250.25 in EPCG Authorization No.0530163790 dated. 24.11.2014Therefore, this request is made to the chairman of the EPCG committee to Re-fix the Average Export obligation so that we can get the EODC of the said EPCG Authorisations.

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. : ye LA
