## Recommendations of DC: - 

DC, FSEZ has recommended the proposal for consideration of the BoA in terms of Rule 3 of the SEZ Rules, 2006. 

110.5(ii) Proposal of M/s. DLF Limited for setting up an IT/ITES SEZ over an area of 12.612 Ha at Village Kherki Daula, Tehsil- Manesar, Distt- Gurugram (Haryana). The proposal of M/s. DLF Limited for setting up an IT/ITES SEZ over an area of 20.02 Ha at above mentioned location was earlier placed before the BoA in its 106'" meeting held on 07.10.2021 for its consideration. The Board was informed that there is a 66 Feet wide Bitumen Road at Khasra No. 67/15, 68/20 & 68/21 of Village Kherki Daula and a 33 Feet wide Bitumen Road at No. 2394. 2395 & 2398 of Village Shikohpur existing at proposed SEZ land. The Board noted that there are some contiguity issues in the proposal. Accordingly, DC, NSEZ desired to withdraw the proposal, which was allowed by the Board with direction to submit the revised proposal. 

The physical inspection of the proposed SEZ land was earlier conducted by DC, JDC, ADC NSEZ along with Patwari, Villages — Kherki Daula and Shikohpur and representatives of M/s. DLF Ltd. As per the Inspection report, there was a bitumen road that cuts across the SEZ.

by DC, JDC, ADC NSEZ along with Patwari, Villages — Kherki Daula and Shikohpur and representatives of M/s. DLF Ltd. As per the Inspection report, there was a bitumen road that cuts across the SEZ. 

Now, the Developer has excluded the non-contiguous land pertaining to Village Shikohpur and land of 66 ft. wide road. Besides, a piece of land having Khasra No. 63/14 of Village Kherki Daula, surrounded by the proposed SEZ land has been excluded. The developer has informed that they are in process of getting the lease deed executed for the said land, which will be later applied for addition in the SEZ. However, for the time being, they propose 3.35 Mtrs. wide access to the said land from their adjoining leased land. A High Tension (HT) electricity line crossing over the proposed SEZ land was also found. They will construct boundary wall all around the said land and the proposed access will be constructed so that contiguity of proposed SEZ is maintained. 

Now, M/s. DLF Ltd. has submitted a revised proposal for setting up of IT/ITES SEZ on revised area of 12.612 Ha (earlier 20.02 Ha) at Village Kherki Daula, Tehsil-Manesar, DisttGurugram (Haryana), by excluding the non-contiguous land of Village Shikohpur and land of 66ft. wide road.

As per 3 & 4" proviso to Rule 27(1) of the SEZ Rules, 2006, the item prohibited for import can be procured by SEZ from a place outside India with the prior approval of BoA and supply of restricted items by a DTA unit to SEZ is also permissible with the approval of the BoA. There is no explicit rule for import of restricted items to be allowed by the BoA. DoC Earlier w.r.t. the proposal of the said unit for allowing inclusion of ‘Restricted items’ in LoA, had obtained comments from DGFT/ MHA/ DGEP before seeking approval of the BoA, DC, NSEZ has stated that since the proposed items relate to fire arms, comments of nodal departments like DGFT/ MHA/ DGEP are desirable for consideration by the Board of Approval.

Vide DoC’s OM dated 11.12.2020 followed by subsequent reminders, DGFT, MHA and DGEP were requested to offer their comments on the matter. The response received from the said Departments/Ministry is as follows: -

dated 11.12.2020 followed by subsequent reminders, DGFT, MHA and DGEP were requested to offer their comments on the matter. The response received from the said Departments/Ministry is as follows: -

DGEP: Vide OM dated 13.01.2021(pg.14/C) DGEP had stated that the proposed new items to be added in LoA are restricted in nature as per Foreign Trade Policy. As these items relates to arms and ammunition their clearances are subject to requirement specified by Ministry of Home Affairs. DGEP do not seem to be the appropriate authority to comment on addition of such restricted items proposed in the LoA of the unit, other than allowing activities permissible under SEZ law. Therefore, DoC may like to seek comments from Directorate General of Foreign Trade/Ministry of Home Affairs etc. before putting the proposal in the BoA for a final decision.

DGFT: Vide OM dated 19.02.2021(pg.19/C) DGFT had referred to their OM dated 22.04.2019 further referring to their inputs vide OM dated 29.08.2018 in the earlier proposal of the unit wherein DGFT had stated that these are military weapons//arms/armaments. All these have security implications as far as DTA is concerned. That is why these are subject to very elaborate licensing system for the DTA. Though SEZ units are allowed restricted items, these items are not normal tradeable goods. BoA has to take a decision after security clearance from MHA and MOD. DGFT has stated that they have sent the comments under FT (D&R) Act, 1992 / FTP, 201520.

se items are not normal tradeable goods. BoA has to take a decision after security clearance from MHA and MOD. DGFT has stated that they have sent the comments under FT (D&R) Act, 1992 / FTP, 201520. The application in question is made under SEZ Act and DoC has to decide this under SEZ Act in consultation with relevant line Ministries / Departments. Hence, they have no further comments to offer. MHA _: Vide OM dated 14.02.2022 MHA has stated that a meeting was held under the Chairmanship of JS(IS-I) on 20.03.2020 wherein it was emerged that the company may be permitted to stock the listed firearms and cartridges in the warehousing facility of the FTWZ of M/s. Arshiya Northern FTWZ Ltd. at Khurja (UP) and undertake the activity of export/import fulfilling all the prerequisites, clearances and statutory provisions of the DoC to such storage and commercial activity, with emphasis on safety and security aspects of the items stored and humans.

• v. As regards imports being routed through the FTWZ rather than the DTA unit directly importing, the unit has informed that as many products are planned for Global Export Program they would not like to import them in DTA first, pay duty and then export as their products would not be competitive then.
