F.No. HQRPRCAPPLY00013084AM25

Subject: Relaxation from Pre Import Condition against Advance Authorization No. 0211007315 dated 20/09/2024.

Applicant Statement: The above-mentioned Advance License was issued to us by RA Kolkata under SION SI.No. E.124. The import item, i.e. Crude Sunflower Oil (FPA 0.5% to 1.85) having ITCHS Code No. 15121110 falls under Appendix - 4J. Hence the said Advance License contains a Pre-Import Condition. Sir, there are some practical genuine hardships to comply with Pre-lmport Condition, which are beyond our control. The hardships are as follows: 1. The international price of the commodity is always fluctuating and volatile. 2. The lead time is 2 to 3 months to produce the finished goods. 3. The overseas buyers require immediate shipment to avoid price fluctuation. 4. If we import first and then search for Export orders, the price will never match. So it is practically not possible to fulfill the Export Obligation. Sir, we would like to state that we have been manufacturer of various types of edible oil including Refined Sunflower Oil (Edible Grade) for more than three decades. We have our own conglomerate of refineries. We regularly import raw materials, i.e. all types of crude oil from various countries all over the world. We are one of the top Custom Duty payers in West Bengal and are honest and large taxpayer of the Government of India. Sir, we own reputed edible oil brands such as Dr. Choice, KMP, Shiva, Nav bhojan, Bake Orbit, Sathi etc.

ustom Duty payers in West Bengal and are honest and large taxpayer of the Government of India. Sir, we own reputed edible oil brands such as Dr. Choice, KMP, Shiva, Nav bhojan, Bake Orbit, Sathi etc. We are regularly importing raw materials on payment of all Custom Duties and make finished products and sale in India, which generates employment of more than 500 persons in our own factory and are serving the nation in the best possible way, any genuine company do. Therefore, we are always holding large quantity of stock which we can export and thereafter we want to import the Duty Free Raw Materials allowed against the above-mentioned Advance License. This will overcome the problem of price fluctuation for overseas buyers, and it will earn precious foreign exchange for our country. This will not create any shortage of edible oil in India as we are already producing the same in large quantity as mentioned above. Sir, for your kind information, in the last financial year 2023-24, we imported 57.90 crore K.G of all types of Crude Oil for approx. USD 532 Million. Sir, we assure you that we will take necessary steps to ensure that our imports after export meet all the other regulatory requirements. In case your office wishes you may impose a time period within which we will complete our import also Sir, in light of what has been explained above, we request your goodself to kindly consider our plea and remove

Subject: As specified in detailed justification attached against Advance Authorization No. 2410043111 dated 19/05/2019.

Applicant Statement: Either permit us to regularize the AA on the basis of norms already fixed in our other case for the same item in term of HB para 4.12 (vi) read with para 4.12 (iv) and Policy Circular no 8/2023 dated 27.12.2023. Or Enable system to permit us to apply for revision of our rejected norms which are more than 12 months to enable compliance of your office requirement. Detailed justification We have obtained 7 AAs under no-norms category for export of same item namely ?brass Billets?. In six of such AAs NC have already fixed norms but the 7th case was rejected by NC for non-submission of additional information called by it. We did not supply additional information because we thought perusing for separate norms in this AA was a sheer wastage of valuable time of NC when norms for the same item has already been fixed in our own other cases and HB para 4.12 (vi) read with para 4.12 (iv) and Policy Circular no-8/2023 clearly permits regularization of an AA on the basis of norms has already been fixed in our other six AAs for the same item. RA Rajkot has refused to allow this on the ground that above referred HB provisions are not applicable in our this case because in this case norms request has been rejected by NC. (Copy of their letter enclosed).

refused to allow this on the ground that above referred HB provisions are not applicable in our this case because in this case norms request has been rejected by NC. (Copy of their letter enclosed). Our submissions that above provisions are very much applicable in this case because the rejection by NC is not on merit or any other ground but simply due to non-supply of additional information to them as can be seen from the decision of NC enclosed and that none of the HB provisions referred above explicitly forbid so, seems to have fell on || deafnot inearsline andwith wetheweredeclaredadvisedobjectto approachof easing ofNC.doingSuchbusinessan interpretationfor exportispromotioncertainly especially when no prejudice is caused to interest of the revenue. On approaching NC, we have been advised to apply for revision of the rejected norms. (Copy enclosed). But the system does not permit to apply for revision of norms on account of our case being older than 12 months. (Copy enclosed). We request proper appreciation of our contention at appropriate level. In case our contention is still not acceptable even to higher ups in DGFT, the system may please enabled to permit us to apply for revision of our rejected norms case to enable us to comply with the direction of NC in this regard. Currently system does not allow application of revision of norms which are older than 12 months. We have also filed application in prescribed format for clarification on the issue for which we have received no response at all in spite of having sent numerous reminders. Mails sent to DGFT,

No Further Imports/Exports Against Advance Authorization No. 0310821395 Dated 01/06/2018, Beyond 12 Months from NC Decision (Para 4.17 of HBP-2023). ALC File No.: 01/85/050/00054/AM19 Respected Sir, We would like to bring to your kind attention that we have fulfilled our export obligation on a pro-rata basis on 25/01/2019 and have realized the foreign exchange. However, we were recently informed that our Adhoc Norms request was rejected by the ALC on 24/10/2019. We attempted to submit an application for the Initiate Review of Adhoc Norms, but the DGFT system did not accept it due to Para 4.17 of HBP-2023, which states that such a request cannot be made beyond 12 months from the date of uploading the NC decision. Upon reviewing the DGFT portal, we observed that our case was deferred multiple times by the ALC before a final decision was made on 24/10/2019. Although we had submitted our justification on 16/05/2019, the NC was not satisfied with our response. Due to unavoidable circumstances, we were unable to track the NC decision in time, leading to the rejection of our case.

HARPRCAPPLY00000474AM23 ( Case no. 11). Sir, our request for granting extension in import validity of Duty credit scrip, is based upon the genuine hardships being faced by exporters due to transition of manual mode of communication/ registration/ dealing with Govt.

ng with Govt. Authorities, to Online one, which has causeda lot of problem, hence we would like to represent our case for review of Committee Decision, issued vide meeting no. 19AM25 did. 16.10.2024. We would like to reiterate the following facts which caused expiry of scrips before we could utilize the same: 1) We have obtained the above post export EPCG Authorization from the office of JOGFT, Chennai under their file number 04/21/061/00004/AM15 dated 13.05.2014 as per Para 5.12 of Import Export Policy. Since the said EPCG Authorization was not valid for import being Post Export EPCG Authorization, we fulfilled export obligation and received the freely transferrable Duty credit scrip as per Policy vide Amendment sheet no. 2. 2) However, since the Duty credit scrip was issued thru manual mode, it was not transmitted thru online mode to the Customs authority, due to which the Customs denied to accept the manual scrip for utilization purpose as they were able to accept only thru online mode. The Company had submitted letter of correspondence at Chennai Custom, Chennai JDGFT and Delhi JDGFT regarding manual scrip Registration and Utilization. Details enclosed in Annexure-A 3) Nevertheless, after a lot of struggle and correspondence with the Customs Authority, they started allowing such manual scrips which were issued due to the absence of online portal to issue post export scrips.

ess, after a lot of struggle and correspondence with the Customs Authority, they started allowing such manual scrips which were issued due to the absence of online portal to issue post export scrips. 4) Unfavorably, by the time the Customs granted approval to accept manual post export scrips, our Post export duty credit scrip issued against above authorization, had very little time left of the validity period and we could utilize only a partial portion of the scrip as for import purpose and the scrip could not be utilized fully. 5) Since the above situation occurred because of the absence of online portal to issue Duty Credit scrips under post export EPCG licenses, and due to the fact that there was no mode to transfer the scrips online at DGFT Website, our plea to revalidate the Duty credit scrip for One year is justified to be considered. Therefore, looking at the genuine situation, we request you to kindly review the PRC decision and grant us renewal of the said scrip for one year from the date of endorsement, which could not be utilized the scrip fully, due to the absence of online portal to issue and transmit the post export duty credit scrips. We hope that you will find above in order and accept our request to grant renewal for One year months from the date of PRC decision, against above mentioned Duty credit scrip.

Applicant Statement: The raw material In order to manufacture the end product was imported from M/s Crucible Specialty Metals, USA. 1. However, due to Sudden Unanticipated Consecutive Cancellation of Export Orders as a consequence of sudden increase/skyrocketing in the pricing of Nickel and Chrome Worldwide the Company?s raw material cost Sky Rocketed since Nickle and Chrome were the essential ingredients and were integral components of the Raw Material ?Valve Steel Billet?. Nickel Prices surged 410 times and beyond throughout the period from 2008 to 2012 exploding from a mere 10,000 $ (PMT) to a Staggering 51,000 $ ( PMT ) and Chrome Prices surged by 54 times and beyond throughout the period from 2008 to 2012. Amongst the many devastating factors driving these unprecedented price hikes was the ban imposed on Mining Industries across California, Montana, Michigan, Minnesota and Alaska, the five biggest Nickel producing states in the country had serious repercussion on the Engineering and Steel Industry. Since Nickel and Chrome are the main ingredient in Valve Steel production, the ban, accompanying socio economic and political crises and various other external factors triggered and ultimately resulted in the Company's raw material costs Sky Rocketing beyond our worst fears, leaving us trapped in a dire financial crisis.

al crises and various other external factors triggered and ultimately resulted in the Company's raw material costs Sky Rocketing beyond our worst fears, leaving us trapped in a dire financial crisis. Nickel exceeding even the selling price of the entire finished product itself intended for exports in the International Markets. The impact of the ban, compounded by the socio-economic and political turmoil and various other external factors, was such or so severe that it effectively Annihilated the financial stability of our company. Nickel and Chrome prices skyrocketed beyond our capacity to absorb, leading to a drastic and dramatic increase in production costs. Inevitably, Our financial resources were quickly depleted to nothing as we still continued to import, we struggled extensively on the verge to maintain operations, further unprecedented surge in global Nickel and Chrome prices, exacerbated by severe supply chain disruptions, devastated our production capacity, forcing an almost complete shutdown. This ultimately resulted in substantial delays and cancellations, leaving us unable to meet our contractual obligations and from timely delivering export orders and final products to our customers. The severe spike in Nickel and Chrome prices led to a global dearth and economic state of famine as suppliers struggled to meet demand.

Our Company faced Catastrophic Failure in securing the necessary and essential Raw Material ?Valve Stel Billet? to maintain our production schedules due to affordability, as we could not afford to procure nickel and chrome based raw material in the long run at such ?off the chart? prices. At the same time, our customers were ultimately adamant and unwavering, strongly expressing their disapproval and making it unequivocally clear that they would not tolerate or accept the passing on of these skyrocketing costs, demonstrating a firm unwillingness to understand or accommodate the extraordinary circumstances over which we had absolutely no control and which were completely out of our hands, driving these price surges, particularly concerning the finished goods already manufactured by us using the imported raw materials procured at a 410-fold increase in price to produce the finished/export product, ‘Valve Steel Bar’. Instructing that we strictly adhere to the prices agreed upon in the contract / executed agreement, our customers commanded an expectation that, in the real world, was not possible for us to fulfil, as such a situation would have lead to huge losses.

Our submissions below may be read in conjunction with our substantive application. Import Policy Conditions in Brief: (1) Policy Condition for Port of Import for Second Hand or Used Imported Vehicles (Policy Para (1)(d) (iv)): The import of used vehicles shall be permitted only through the custom ports at Mumbai seaport.

We are seeking relaxation in Policy:- (1) To import of Used Two RHD Mercedes-Benz Vehicles to be permitted for import at Chennai Airport or Chennai Seaport for the purpose of conducting research/testing on the Vehicles imported for R & D testing. (2) To allow the imported vehicle for registration with RTO to ply on public road for onroad condition Testing for research & development and not for any other use after registration in terms of DGFT Notification No. 14/2015-2020 dated 28.08.2019. Il. Justified reason for import from AirPort or Seaport other than from designated port of import:- We would like to provide a brief explanation for our request for this relaxation. At the moment, only Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) ships dock in Mumbai Seaport and Ro-Ro Vessel companies do not accept used vehicle transportation from Germany to Mumbai Seaport. So, it has become difficult for us to import the used vehicle quickly and to complete the project that our customers expect from us. It also leads to revenue losses at the company and country levels.

Applicant Statement: Due to the force majeure event where the wheat got damaged and non-usable for further processing for wheat flour, the company is left with no other option but to seek relief in fulfilling its export obligation under the above mentioned AA. The total quantity of damaged wheat is 590.72 MTs and we are seeking relaxation in the corresponding export obligation for 552.07 MTs of wheat flour, which corresponds to the lost wheat as per the prescribed SION E- 136. Due to the challenging conditions of the international market, it is crucial to source wheat at a competitive price. Accordingly, wheat has been imported to facilitate the export of wheat flour to the international market. The good segment operates at very thin margins and any financialburden arising from the failure to meet export obligation due to unforeseen event could severely impact our business operations. We humble request the PRC to grant a one time waiver for the export obligation. The company hereby submits a request before the PRC committee to allow relaxation of Export obligation under Advance License 0811011087 dated 21.03.2024 in view of the unfortunate and unavoidable circumstances caused by a force majeure event.

Applicant Statement: . 1 We would like to inform you that we had approached to the Bombay High Court vide writ petition no 10343 of 2023 and order passed on 26th November 2024. We got the judgment on December 2024 and could not communicate to Policy Relaxation committee. (copy enclosed). 2. Once again we are explaining about our Background and issue under consideration 2.1. We, M/s Dana Anand India Pvt Ltd, erstwhile known as M/s Spicer India Private Limited (? Spicer? or ‘the Company’) is engaged in manufacturing of ‘Drivetrain’ products and other automotive parts namely, axles, driveshaft and components. The manufactured products are sold within India and outside India. 2.2. The goods exported outside India fall under ITC(HS) code, 787085000? (Description of entry reads as follows - Drive-Axle with differential, whether or not provided with other transmission components, non-driving axles and its parts thereof)?. 2.3. Exports of aforesaid goods outside India are entitled to rewards in the form of duty credit scrips under MEIS of Foreign Trade Policy, 2015-20 (?FTP?). The tariff entry as mentioned in para 1.2 is covered in Appendix 3B of the FTP which prescribes the incentive rate under MEIS. The relevant extract of Appendix 3B of FTP 2015-20 is provided below: MEIS S.No ITCHS 2017 ITC (HS) Description MEIS Rate ?4551 87085000 Drive Axles With Differential W/N Provided with Other Transmission Components 3? 2.4.

In light of the above, the Company had filed MEIS applications for the period 2016-17 with Regional Authority (?7DGFT Pune?), with respect to export of goods falling under ITC (HS) code 87085000. 2.5. On the basis of twenty six applications filed by the Company, duty credit scrips amounting to INR 8,10,27,671 were to be received. However, the applications were partially processed and duty credit scrips amounting to INR 6,07,57,148 were granted. Thus, leading to shortfall in the receipt of duty credit scrips to the tune of INR 2,02,70,553 (Enclosed as Annexure Il). 2.6. We were communicated by DGFT Pune that MEIS scrips has been rejected on those entries appearing in shipping bills where there was description mismatch. However, when we checked practically, we did not find any description mismatch. Sample copy of shipping bill, Ecom application for MEIS and MEIS license (Enclosed as Annexure III) showing that there is no description mismatch. 2.7. Subsequently, DGFT issued directives to all regional authorities (vide public notice no. 62/2015 dated 16 February 2018), stating that except for certain ITC(HS) codes provided in annexure to the aforesaid public notice, MEIS applications shall be processed only on the basis of ITC(HS) codes as specified in the shipping bills.

that except for certain ITC(HS) codes provided in annexure to the aforesaid public notice, MEIS applications shall be processed only on the basis of ITC(HS) codes as specified in the shipping bills. However, applications finalized (including applications already rejected) before the issuance of the said public notice were not to be re-assessed basis this notice. 2.8. Annexure to the aforesaid public notice specifying the ITC (HS) codes for which MEIS applications to be processed after matching the description did not include ITC (HS) code 87085000. Thus, MEIS application for ITC (HS) code 87085000 were to be processed without matching the description of the items. 2.9. Further, DGFT vide trade notice no. 26/2018 dated 23 March 2018 instructed all Regional Authorities to consider MEIS applications rejected before issuance of aforesaid public notice as well. Thus, MEIS applications rejected before 16 February 2018 may be re-processed on the basis of aforesaid public notice. In light of the above, the Company humbly submits that the duty scrips amounting to approx. INR 2 Crore should be considered and granted. We sincerely request the PRC and DGFT office to consider our request of
