Detailed reasons for delay: -

The unit has informed that the project got delayed due to delay in handing over the plots by KIADB. Out of the two plots allotted to the unit, Lease Deed for the first plot got executed on 24.08.2018 and the second plot only on 04.10.2018. Even though unit wanted to commence inspection and planning work soon after this, they faced stiff resistance from local landowners claiming that KIADB did not suitably compensate them. The issue was later resolved by negotiation as part of which they had to purchase construction materials and equipment locally, which added up to their cost. It is only after all these issues got resolved, they could proceed further.

tiation as part of which they had to purchase construction materials and equipment locally, which added up to their cost. It is only after all these issues got resolved, they could proceed further.

After KIADB approved the building plan in May 2019, the unit commenced its construction activity/operations in July 2019. Due to COVID-19 whole process got held up from 20.03.2020 to September, 2020 and after that restarted the same with minimum labour, The unit has submitted Chartered Engineer certificate on progress of their project/ construction work as per Rule 19(4) of SEZ Rules, 2006 and overall 75% work has been completed.

Recommendation by DC, CSEZ: Development Commissioner has recommended the request of the unit for an extension upto 26.10.2021.

104.2(ii) Request of M/s ECGC Limited, a unit in GIFT SEZ for extension of the validity of LoA in multi-services SEZ at Ratanpur, District Gandhinagar, Gujarat developed by M/s GIFT SEZ Ltd. LoA issued on : 29.06.2017 Nature of services : Financial Services Last extension valid upto : 28.06.2020 (granted by DC)

Reason for seeking extension beyond third year:

The unit has not been able to commence the approved Authorized Operations, as the activities permitted by IRDAI are not favourable to their line of business (i.e. export credit insurance).

The unit has not been able to commence the approved Authorized Operations, as the activities permitted by IRDAI are not favourable to their line of business (i.e. export credit insurance). The unit is unable to transact direct insurance business within the IFSC/from outside India, but the only permissible activity is to transact direct insurance business from other SEZs. The unit has sought an extension of validity of its LoA upto 31.03.2022.

DC has informed that the third extension of LOA has been sought under the provisions of Rule 19 of the Special Economic Zones Rules, 2006. In the case of GIFT – Multi-services-SEZ, Gandhinagar, wherein the approved Co-Developer(s) provide ready to occupy built-in premises/space (plug and play) for the approved SEZ unit(s) the second proviso of Rule-19 (4) regarding completion of two-thirds of activities including construction cannot be squarely applied to these financial services/IFSC unit. Further, the requirement of incremental investment cannot be examined as there is no activity of construction for these approved IFSC SEZ units requiring obtaining of Chartered Engineer’s certificate as per the aforesaid rule provisions.

nvestment cannot be examined as there is no activity of construction for these approved IFSC SEZ units requiring obtaining of Chartered Engineer’s certificate as per the aforesaid rule provisions.

Recommendations by DC, GIFT Multi-services SEZ: In view of non-existence of enabling provision for extension in validity of LOA for IFSC/services SEZ unit beyond the normal three years (one + two years) validity, the Board may like to further extend the validity of LOA for a period beyond 28.06.2020 for one year i.e. upto 28.06.2021 in order to facilitate the approval holder to commence the approved authorized operations/services from the GIFT-SEZ, Gandhinagar.

The proposal is placed before BoA for consideration.
