Rule 19(6) of the SEZ Rules stipulates that the Letter of Approval shall be valid for five years from the date of commencement of production or service activity and it shall be construed as a licence for all purposes related to authorized operations, and, after the completion of five years from the date of commencement of production, the Development Commissioner may, at the request of the Unit, extend validity of the Letter of Approval for a further period of five years, at a time.
## Observations of the Approval Committee:
- a. NFE has been far from satisfactory (Rs. 0.70 cr in the last 5-year period),
- b. They were not working for past 4 years and lying in the state of disuse.
- c. The authorised representatives were based at Chennai and Kannauj and had not been able to focus on the Moradabad unit.
- d. There was no concrete business plan.
- e. Manufacturing process stated by the unit for cutting of bigger sandalwood logs into small pieces of 50 grams each for burning which does not make any sense and is not a value-added proposition. Rather such an activity reduces the value of sandalwood log.
The Approval Committee unanimously decided not to renew the LoA for 2™! block. The Committee also directed the unit to complete the exit formalities and UPSIDA may take necessary actions w.r.t. plot as deemed fit and necessary.
The appeal is placed before the BoA for consideration.
