-
b. For manufacturing the inhalation doses product, different automated and special unique technology equipment and instruments are used to optimize the formulation and special customized machineries parameters to match the product for regulatory specification.
-
c. The Development activity of inhalation product is very difficult to match regulatory specification and need to manufacture many trials to optimize the formulation followed by bio equivalence study batches for regulatory market and it will take time to complete developmental activities which include Bio equivalence studies. After successful developmental batches, registration batches and Bio equivalence studies, dossier will be filed for registration.
-
d. Inhalation product development is very critical to commercialize as it involves product development, execution of registration batches, clinical studies and filing a product dossier to government agencies like USFDA for its marketing authorization or product approval.

-
e. The Unit has applied to USFDA for product approval with a renewal fee up to 31.12.2021 and expecting the surprise inspection by USDA anytime shortly. However, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the inspection could not happen last year.
-
f. The Unit is hopeful for this year that once the situation is back to normal, the Regulatory Authority shall visit their plant and accordingly, they shall start their commercial production in due course. They have been also trying to obtain other regulatory approvals for markets like Europe, ROW (rest of world) and emerging markets.
-
g. On scrutiny of the application, it is observed that the construction work has been completed in the year 2019 itself and the commercial production is pending only for want of approval of the Regulatory Authorities. As such, there is no change in the status as compared to last two years.
Recommendation by DC, SEEPZ:
DC SEEPZ-SEZ has recommended the request of extension of LoA for a period of one year up to 24.02.2022.

The possibility of loss of revenue owing to the DTA operations in the de-notified area is remote. The Asst. Commissioner of Customs also recommended that the fencing be of height more than 2.4 mts including substantial portion of barbed wire/mesh topping, as proposed under the SEZ Rules. It has further been recommended that there is a separate guarded/monitored entry and exit for the denotified area and the existing SEZ units.

Thereafter, the proposal may be furnished to BoA for extension after satisfying that the unit fulfils all other criteria. / :
Comments and recommendations of DC, KASEZ:
-
i. The unit could not run completely for their 5 years block period 2015-16 to 2019-20 as in 2015-16 due to the time taken for installation of new machinery being a sick unit earlier, the unit could not immediately start its operations after renewal of LoA by the BoA on 30.12.2015 but could only commence their operations on 01.04.2016. Further, since the import of plastic scrap was banned in June 2016 by the MoEF&CC which affected their imports for nearly 6 months. In the year 2019-20 again the MoEF&CC imposed ban on import of plastic scrap. Thus effectively, they could not operate for entire five year block period as there were several interruptions in the operations of the unit which were beyond their control.
-
ii, | The unit has been revived after 14 years in 2015 and due to non-operation of the unit for the entire five year block period they could not achieve positive NFE, hence they have requested to grant them extension in the period for fulfilment of positive NFE for a further period of five years as per Rule 72 of the SEZ Rules, 2006 or they may be permitted to voluntarily deposit 1% penalty for the shortfall in NFE io regularize the NFE shortfall as per Rule 80 of the SEZ Rules, 2006.
-
ii, | Regarding the outstanding dues, the unit has cleared all their pending rental dues upto 31.03.2021.

-
ii, | Regarding the outstanding dues, the unit has cleared all their pending rental dues upto 31.03.2021.
-
iv. The order dated 02.05.2019 passed by the DC, KASEZ imposing penalty for non-achievement of physical export obligation as per policy circular dated 17.09.2013 has been challenged by the unit before the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat and the Court has granted an interim relief against the penalty order and stayed the recovery proceedings against them.
-
v. The Ministry may like to consider the request of the unit for renewal of their LoA and they may be placed at par with the extensions granted in respect of other plastic recycling units by the BoA in its 102™ meeting held on 06.01.2021 and the unit may be allowed to start their imports immediately as per MoEF&CC notification dated 27.01.2021 in order to provide a level playing field to the unit vis-a-vis other plastic recycling units in the zone.

103.6 Appeal (one appeal)
103.6(i) Appeal dated 22.02.2021 filed by M/s Datwyler Pharma Packaging India Pvt. Ltd. against the decision of UAC in its meeting held on 03.02.2021 for rejection of request for approval of additional list of services viz. as ‘Other Services not elsewhere classified’ under SAC code 999799 required for Gamma Irradiation of product ‘Rubber Stopper’.
M/s Datwyler Pharma Packaging India Pvt. Ltd. (erstwhile known as M/s Nelvoet Pharma India Operations Pvt. Ltd) was granted an LoA for setting up a unit in sector specific SEZ for Engineering sector developed by M/s MIDC Ltd. at Village Kesurde, Taluka, Khandala, Distt. Satara, Maharashtra for manufacture of rubber closure, plastic closure and aluminium closure on 21.05.2010.
The unit vide their application dated 22.12.2020 had requested DC, Pune Cluster SEZ for obtaining approval for additional list of services other than the one which is covered in default list of services approved by MoC&I i.e. for services required for carrying out Gamma Irradiation service on their products i.e. rubber stoppers in the nature of “Rubber Product Manufacturing Services” falling into SAC code 998851.
I i.e. for services required for carrying out Gamma Irradiation service on their products i.e. rubber stoppers in the nature of “Rubber Product Manufacturing Services” falling into SAC code 998851.
The proposal was placed before the Approval Committee in its meeting held on 03.02.2021. The Committee held the view that the services “Other Services not elsewhere classified”, is a very broad classification and covers various type of services which is not specifically classified in any other category. Further, the Committee noted that the services required by the unit is basically a job work for manufacturing their goods and the default list of services approved by MoC&I does not cover specific type of work which falls under the category of job work, and mostly covers list of services which is by and large required by most or all of the units whether in manufacturing or in IT sector and accordingly rejected the proposal for approval of additional services ‘Other Services not elsewhere classified’.
Contentions and grounds of appeal of the appellant:
- The unit submits that such services as being provided by their supplier is related to Gamma Irradiation of their finished products i.e. Rubber Stoppers as per the requirement of their end client.
‘- The unit has also received approval for sub-contracting as per Rule 41 & 42 of SEZ Rules, 2006 from the O/o Specified Officer, Kesurdi MIDC SEZ on 24.11.2020.
- The vendor who will be carrying out ‘Gamma Irradiation’ treatment on their finished products sent to them under sub-contracting mechanism will be just performing ‘Gamma

Irradiation’ on ‘Rubber Stopper’ without addition of any new products from sub-contractor side on ‘Rubber Stopper’ or without changing any identity, shape size and nature. Post such treatment rubber stopper will be supplied back to Datwyler and from their SEZ unit it will be exported outside India to end customers. who are mainly multinational pharma companies engaged into manufacturing of various types of drugs, injections, vaccines etc. 4. The said treatment cannot be carried out in the unit as the said activity in itself is a separate full-fledged plant which requires investment ranging from 50-100 cr. It requires separate radiation chamber to be created with allied infrastructure like clean water and clean room etc.
is a separate full-fledged plant which requires investment ranging from 50-100 cr. It requires separate radiation chamber to be created with allied infrastructure like clean water and clean room etc. Gamma Irradiation is a separate specialization job and most of bigger pharma companies who are into manufacturing of pharma drugs and medicines has in-house facility available for Gamma irradiation, whereas smaller pharma companies who does not have such facility within their premises is only asking the unit to provide them Gamma Irradiation treated stoppers.
- In order to avail “Zero Rated Supply” of such Gamma Irradiation treatment services from their supplier as per Section 16(1) of IGST Act, 2017 they have applied for obtaining additional list of services approval in the nature of ‘Other Service n.e.c.’ under SAC Code 999799 with the Pune Cluster SEZ as supplier is raising invoices under the same category to its different customers since inception of GST as there is not specific SAC code available for Gamma Irradiation service in GST Classification of services.

ih The unit refers Instruction no. 79 dated 19.11.2013 issued by the MoC&I regarding Uniform List of services to be followed in SEZs which states that the approved list of services shall ordinarily be permitted by UAC unless anything to the contrary is noticed. Other services which are not included in the uniform list may be decided by UAC on merits. The unit further refers to MoC&I letter dated 02.01.2018 indicating that BoA after deliberations, approved the reiteration of the default authorised operations as approved earlier and hence accordingly said default list of services as approved earlier vide Instruction no.79 as amended from time to time shall be applicable in GST regime also.

-
The unit submits they are a SEZ unit and eligible for procurement of services required for their authorized operations under IGST exemption and for the same they have already executed Bond Cum Legal Undertaking also as required under the provision of Rule 22 of the SEZ Rules, 2006. Further, that their supplier is also following due compliances as per GST Act and Rules for supply of such services to SEZ unit in accordance to Section 7(5)(b), Section 16(1) and Section 16(3) of IGST Act, 2017.
-
The rejection of the request of the unit is resulting into extra cost burden onto them in the form of IGST as without list of services approval from Approval Committee supplier is not providing “Zero Rated Supplies” under Section 16(1) of the IGST Act, 2017. The unit requests to set aside order dated 15.02.2021 issued by ADC, Pune Cluster SEZ and seeks approval of
