We can import 2226 MT in accordance with the authorization standards. However, we have only imported 309.9 MT of quantity, with 1916.10 MT still outstanding for import. Due to volatile market conditions, we could not run our plant with full capacity and even closed for same time. Due to the above reasons. We could not import the total quantity of the authorization in time. Since, we have resumed the plant operations and we have started importing the MEA. The authorization is expiring on 09/05/2025 and our imports are coming in the month of May 2025 and June 2025. Hence, we request you to kindly consider our case for one extension of six months which will help us to sustain in the present market conditions. We will suffer significant losses if we are unable to use this authorization because our import quantity of 1916.10 MT of MONOETHANOLAMINEis still pending. Request an additional six month extension against this authorization.

Meeting No. 07AM26 held on 03.07.2025

Subject: Revalidation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 0510407303 dated 25/07/2018.

Applicant Statement: You may kindly refer to your office letter dated 03.11.2020 issued vide file no. 01/60/162/211/AM21/PRC, in reply to our request vide our letter dated 08.09.2020 for 2nd revalidation of 6 months from the date of endorsement, wherein you have made a point that the request made by the firm, like, correction of mistake, 2nd Revalidation, needs to be examined and considered by concerned RA, i.e., CLA, New Delhi, hence we were requested to approach them for further action in the matter. Here we would like to clarify as follows: 1. We completed excess export obligation, against Advance Authorization No. 0510407303 Dated. 25.07.2018, 127.51 % in terms of quantity and 116.02% in terms of value, within 7 months of its issuance, but unfortunately although the Authorization was revalidated for six months, and enhancement was made, based on actual exports vide Amendment Sheet No. 1 dated. 18.11.2019, by RA office, but due to an error on their part, quantity of Export Item SI.No.1 was wrongly stated as 12911.456 Sq. Meters instead of the correct quantity of 129911.456 Sq. Meters. This mistake was required to be rectified by the RA office, as the aforesaid amendment did not reflect at the customs ICE Gate site, due to which we neither could register the amendments at the customs, nor could we operate on the said Authorization at customs for imports. 1.

amendment did not reflect at the customs ICE Gate site, due to which we neither could register the amendments at the customs, nor could we operate on the said Authorization at customs for imports. 1. Further also, since our company’s Delhi branch office address, at which the authorization was issued to us, had changed from GREENLAM INDUSTRIES LTD, 1604 and 1605, 16th FLOOR, NARAIN MANZIL, 23, Barakhamba Road , New Delhi-11 001 to our new address at, Greenlam Industries Ltd, 2nd Floor, West Wing, WORLDMARK 1, Aerocity, IGI Airport Hospitality, New Delhi- 110 001, we had to get the Authorization amended in respect of change of address, by the RA office, so as to enable us to complete our eligible import based on enhancement. 2. And whereas, vide our office letter along with RA office acknowledgement receipt, both dated.28.11.2019, we had made two requests to RA office, namely; (1) One to rectify the quantity of Export ltem SI.No.1,and (2) To amend the branch office address of the company ay =]BA"

eipt, both dated.28.11.2019, we had made two requests to RA office, namely; (1) One to rectify the quantity of Export ltem SI.No.1,and (2) To amend the branch office address of the company ay =]BA"

Branch Code No.5. But, unfortunately, the aforesaid two requests are still unattended. If only, those two requests were attended to, we had substantial time to complete the imports before the expiry date of the first revalidated period up to 24.01.2020. In fact, RA office new very well that unless those two amendments were effected, we shall not be able to utilize the Authorization. 3. Now since the ist Revalidation obtained against the Authorization has expired on 24.01.2020, to make any amendment by RA, the said authorization needs to be valid as on the date of amendment. Also our case does not fall under the purview of P.N.67 dated. 31.03.2020 for automatic revalidation of any authorization expiring during the period 01.02.2020 to 31.07.2020. 4. In view of the above, your office decision, conveyed to us vide your letter dated. 03.11.2020 is contradictory. In our view, how can RA office consider any amendment or rectification to an expired Authorization, until and unless it is revalidated.

eyed to us vide your letter dated. 03.11.2020 is contradictory. In our view, how can RA office consider any amendment or rectification to an expired Authorization, until and unless it is revalidated. Remaining no option but to approach the Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC), under relaxation of Policy and Procedure in terms of Para 2.59 of the FTP2023, to allow (1) 2nd Revalidation for six months from the date of endorsement in order to allow RA office to make necessary rectification/ amendment as stated above, and instruct the RA office to implement the PRC Committee decision without any delay and technical snag in respect of transmission, along with the necessary amendments required and applied in Nov2019, so that the Authorization can be utilized for completion of its eligible import. We may kindly request your good self to allow us an opportunity to be heard during your Committee meeting, if so required, so that we can explain our case with more clarity to your satisfaction. Comments of RA were also seen. Decision: The Committee went through the justification made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length and observed that there is merit in the case. Accordingly, it was decided to allow revalidation for a further period of 6 months from the date of endorsement against Advance Authorization No. 0510407303 dated 25.07.2018. The firm shall approach RA within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Meeting No. 07AM26 held on 03.07.2025

Subject: Revalidation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 0510414051 dated 22/04/2020.

Applicant Statement: The said Advance Authorization No. 0510414051 dt. 22.04.2020, has a balance quantity of following Import Items, namely; (1) Kraft Paper - 619029.983 Kgs (2) Base Paper -20576.819 Kgs.

enhancement of the authorization vide amendment sheet no. 2 dated 13.09.2021. Once Enhancement was made by RA office, the Authorization could not be utilized at customs, due to Master error code - 2, until the Authorization got expired on 21.10.2021. Based on our application to PRC , we got approval for 2nd Revalidation from the date of endorsement vide PRC meeting No.22/AM23 dated. 13.12.2022 against their File No. HQRPRCAPPLY00003546AM23. Necessary Revalidation endorsement until 06.07.2023 from RA, based on PRC decision was obtained vide amendment sheet No.1 dated. 09.01.2023. After obtaining the revalidation endorsement, we again approached the customs for registration of the necessary amendments (Both previous amendments for Revalidation and Enhancement, and current amendment of Revalidation), but due to the same old Master Error code - 2, our Authorization could not be registered again for amendments (Copy of Customs Error display enclosed).

cement, and current amendment of Revalidation), but due to the same old Master Error code - 2, our Authorization could not be registered again for amendments (Copy of Customs Error display enclosed). And whereas, we than filed our sincere request to the Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) vide File No. HQRPRCAPPLY00003546AM23 to allow the 2nd Revalidation for a period of six months, but from the date of endorsement under relaxation of Policy & Procedure in terms of provisions of Para 2.58 of the FTP2015-20, to enable us to get the error rectified with the CLA office and successfully transmitted so as to utilize the remaining balance of the Advance Authorization which was quite substantial. And glad to say that the PRC was kind enough to allow our request vide its meeting No.22/AM23 dated. 13.12.2022. As per the directive of the PRC decision, We than approached the respective RA office, at New Delhi, and obtained the amendment in respect of 2nd revalidation for six months from the date of endorsement until 06.07.2023 vide their Amendment sheet No. 1 Dated. 09.01.2023. Further, we than again approached the RA office, to look in to the matter seriously, so as to rectify the Master error Code -2. And as per their advice, we mailed them our request on 24.02.2023, stating details of the Customs site display showing error. But this time, inspite of our repeated approaches with the concerned DDG and JDG, we did not get the desired cooperation, as they always stated that the Authorization was correctly transmitted from their side, and there is nothing which they can do.

with the concerned DDG and JDG, we did not get the desired cooperation, as they always stated that the Authorization was correctly transmitted from their side, and there is nothing which they can do. We fail to understand, that if the regional office cannot do anything in the matter, who else would do. It seems they never tried to resolve the issue. In the meantime the 2nd revalidation granted by the PRC until 06.07.2023 also got expired, without any effective measures being taken by the regional office at their end to resolve the issue. In view of the above stated facts of the case, we have no option left with us, other than to approach Policy relaxation committee (PRC) again (1) to allow another six months revalidation from the date of endorsement; (2) to direct the RA office (CLA) to take effective measures at their end for resolution of the error issue, which only can end the financial, physical and mental trauma at our end. We do hereby request the Policy relaxation committee (PRC) in terms of provisions of Para 2.59 of the FTP 2023 again (1) to allow another six months revalidation from the date of endorsement; (2) to direct the RA office (CLA) to take effective measures at their end for resolution of the error issue, which only can end the financial, physical and mental trauma at our end, under relaxation of Policy and Procedure2023.

14.03.2024, we promptly commenced and completed production. Our export product, vitrified tiles, is a flooring material whose delivery is entirely dependent on the buyer's instructions. The dispatch can only take place once the buyer has completed their construction and provides confirmation. Until then, the manufacturer is required to store the material at the factory. Additionally, we encountered a significant challenge due to a steep increase in freight rates imposed by shipping lines. Since vitrified tiles are primarily made of soil, a low-cost raw material, the sudden tripling of freight charges made shipments economically unviable. Furthermore, disruptions in the Red Sea region caused vessel delays, further impacting our export timelines. Once the situation stabilized and our foreign buyer finally confirmed the order, the exporter instructed us to dispatch the material, which had been stored in the factory for over four months. However, by the time we initiated dispatches, our EPCG authorization had expired. We communicated these challenges to customs authorities, who acknowledged our difficulties and allowed our shipments under the EPCG scheme, ensuring that the EPCG number was mentioned on all shipping bills. By October 2024, we had successfully fulfilled our obligation. However, while preparing our redemption application, we realized that an additional 5% obligation under Public Circular No.

However, while preparing our redemption application, we realized that an additional 5% obligation under Public Circular No. 53/2015-20 dated 20.01.2023 had not been considered by us towards fulfillment of export obligation. To comply with this requirement, thereby ensuring full obligation fulfillment where we had stopped mentioning the number of EPCG Authorization on export shipments made after October 2024 and as soon as we realized the 5% additional obligation, we requested our exporter to include the January 2025 shipment under the EPCG scheme. Hence, the last shipping bill date for this obligation is 12.01.2025. Given the above, we kindly request an extension of the Export Obligation Period up to January 2025 to regularize our completed exports. Even after so much of genuine hardship, we are still remained with a small shortfall of 1.85% which may kindly be condoned as per Para 5.12 of Handbook of Procedures 2009-2014 which allows 5% shortfall in export obligation.

In light of above we request the PRC to allow six months time to file MEIS application for all such past exports.

ng filed. However, in our case, the Customs authorities have not yet transmitted the EDI shipping bill number 8880302, dated 14th November 2018, Port code INNML Mangalore Sea port to the DGFT server. Under the previous DGFT MEIS online application system, we could not apply for the MEIS Scrip without transmitting the shipping bill data from Customs to the DGFT server. Additionally, the new DGFT portal now mandates that a relaxation from the Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) is required to apply for MEIS under such circumstances. This delay in the transmission of the shipping bill is a genuine hardship that is beyond our control and has prevented us from applying for the MEIS Scrip for the aforementioned shipping bill. Considering the circumstances, we request the PRC to intervene and permit us to apply for the MEIS Scrip. We are expecting that DGFT, as a trade facilitator and promoter of exports, will consider our request favorably.

Subject: Revalidation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 3410046350 dated 03/03/2020.

Applicant Statement: | am writing to request an extension of the Advance Licence No. 3410046350, dated 03/09/2020, granted to us for the import of PP Granules & UV Stabilizer Master Batch. The licence was issued on 03/09/2020 with an import validity of 03/09/2021, which was extended to 03/09/2022. We have fulfilled 95.44% of our export obligation (477,223 Kgs) and utilized 71.88% of our import entitlement for Sr. No. 1 item (398,500 Kgs). As per the prorated calculation, we are eligible to import 528,476.75 Kgs, but due to various reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have fallen short by 129,976.75 Kgs. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted our operations, including supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, and logistical challenges. Lockdowns, border closures, and transportation restrictions resulted in significant delays in the movement of goods, impacting our ability to receive raw materials. Furthermore, manpower shortages due to employee absenteeism, migrant worker exodus, and social distancing measures reduced our workforce, affecting our production capacity and ability to meet deadlines. Additionally, the personnel handling the Advance Licence profile at that time have since left the organization, resulting in a loss of critical knowledge and expertise that has further complicated our compliance with the licence conditions.

Advance Licence profile at that time have since left the organization, resulting in a loss of critical knowledge and expertise that has further complicated our compliance with the licence conditions. Considering these exceptional circumstances, we humbly request that you grant us revalidation of the Advance Licence up to 31/12/2025, enabling us to complete the import. This extension will help mitigate the significant losses we have incurred due to the pandemic. Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and noted that the applicant has not submitted any cogent reason/ justification in support of any genuine hardship faced by them. Accordingly, the Committee decided to reject the request.

As such Service Providers w.e.f. 1st April 2007 were required to maintain the average export obligation. Also we humbly wish to submit that in our case of physical exports, the value of medium (Film, Tape etc.) is negligible whereas the main value is of the content (software). It is significant to note that on 18/05/2011, in case of Licence No. 0330000345 dated 02.06.2000, the Regional Licensing Authority had deleted the Average Export Obligation imposed considering the fact that we are Service Providers. Relevant Amendment Sheet no. 3 confirming the same is attached herewith for your ready reference.

had deleted the Average Export Obligation imposed considering the fact that we are Service Providers. Relevant Amendment Sheet no. 3 confirming the same is attached herewith for your ready reference. However, subsequently they insisted that the same will be exempted only on exports in soft form and not on physical form. It is therefore our request that since our Licenses were issued prior to 1/4/2007, as Service providers we should be exempted from maintaining AEO irrespective of the exports being in physical or soft form.
