Sub: Pending drawback claims due to non-submission of Replies.

Attention of all the exporters, Customs Brokers, other stakeholders and members of the trade is invited to the fact that a large no of non-processable Drawback claims are pending in various queues in the EDI system in this Commissionerate. The department aims at disbursing duty Drawback claims of the exporters as soon as the EGM is filed in respect of the goods exported. However in some categories of cases, the release of Drawback gets held up for a long time for want of appropriate action on the part of exporter/CHA/Shipping line / Custodians. Therefore, it is in the interest of exporters to check and obtain the current status of their Drawback claim immediately after Let Export Order (LEO) and after filing of EGM. The status of Drawback claim against any shipping bill can be seen at the website www.icegate.gov.in along with reason of pendency.

2. The Exporters with respect to the Shipping Bills mentioned in the list annexed as Annexure A have not submitted any reply to the query raised by this office despite adequate reminder letters, emails and_ telephonic persuasions.

oe In fact, it is the responsibility of the Exporters/CHAs/Other stakeholders to check the status of their drawback claim against a shipping bill through ICEGATE and if any query is raised by the drawback section, they should submit their reply after viewing the status.

4. For those drawback claims which are pending for more than 06 months as on date of issuance of this Public Notice and no response is received from the Exporters/CHAs/Other stakeholders within 10 days, the claims will be processed as ZERO in absence of the requisite documents/clarifications/selfdeclarations.

5. However, the Exporters can file the supplementary claims as per Rule 16 of the Duty Drawback Rules, 2017 along with the requisite documents/clarifications/ self-declarations once the drawback claim is processed as ZERO.
