Item No.38.3: Requests for co-developers

BoA sanctioned approvals to the co-developers subject to the condition that particular terms and conditions of lease agreement will not have any bearing on the treatment of the income by way of lease rentals/down payment/premium etc., for the purposes of assessment under the prevalent Income Tax Act and Rules. The Assessing Officer, will have the right to examine the taxability of these amounts under the Income Tax Act. This is applicable for all the cases for co-developers mentioned below:-

(i) Request of M/s. Leela Lace Holdings Pvt. Ltd. for co-developer in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Pajeeru-Kairangala, Mangalore, Karnataka, being developed by Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board

The representative of CBDT said that the land was leased by KIADB to M/s. Leela Lace Holdings in 2007 for setting up a Unit in the SEZ. The alienation of land by KIADB would also be subject to certain conditions of constructing the project in a limited time period. Since M/s Leela Lace Holdings was leased land as a unit, they should not be approved as a Co-developer. The representative of the State Government indicated that M/s Leela Lace Holdings has not been allocated land as a unit. Hence, the contention of CBDT is not correct. It was thereafter decided that the proposal will be examined on file.

(ii) Request of M/s. C-Bay Infotech Ventures Private Limited for co-developer in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Kokapet village, Rajendranagar Mandal, R.R. District, Andhra Pradesh, being developed by M/s. Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to the request of

District, Andhra Pradesh being developed by M/s. Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.

(iii) Request of M/s. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited for co-developer in the multi product SEZ at Bharuch, Gujarat being developed by M/s. Dahej SEZ Limited.

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to the request of
M/s. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited for co-developer for developing telecommunication network and data transmission infrastructure in the multi product SEZ at Bharuch, Gujarat being developed by M/s. Dahej SEZ Limited

(iv) Request of M/s. Dr. Fresh SEZ Phase 1 Private Limited for co-developer in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Gurgaon, Haryana being developed by M/s. Dr. Fresh Health Care Private Limited

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to the request of
M/s. Dr. Fresh SEZ Phase 1 Private Limited for co-developer for developing
1.16 hectares of the SEZ in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Gurgaon, Haryana being developed by M/s. Dr. Fresh Health Care Private Limited

(v) Request of M/s. Infinity Jaipur Knowledge City Pvt. Ltd. for co-developer in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Kalwara village, Tehsil Sanganer, District Jaipur, Rajasthan, being developed by M/s. Mahindra World City (Jaipur) Ltd.

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to the request of M/s. Infinity Jaipur Knowledge City Pvt. Ltd. for co-developer to develop, operate & maintain super structure area of 3.85 lac sq. ft spread over 3 buildings plus additional area of basement for relevant utilities & car parking in the SEZ in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES SEZ at kalwara village, Tehsil Sanganer, District Jaipur, Rajasthan being developed by M/s. Mahindra World City (Jaipur) Ltd.

(vi) Request of Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd. (ISPRL) for co- developer in the sector specific SEZ for Petrochemicals and Petroleum sector at Baikampady, near Mangalore, Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka, being developed by M/s. Mangalore SEZ Limited

Representative of CBEC said that the approval by DC of ISPRL as a unit is not acceptable as they will not be able to fulfill the obligations as a unit. The role of the organisation as a Co-developer and their export activities is not clear. Since D/o Revenue had raised issues which are yet to be settled, they are not in favour of supporting the proposal. The attention of the D/o Revenue was drawn to the fact that the present site was identified before the SEZ came into existence and it will not be feasible to shift or earmark the facility. Further the co-developer will setup the facility within the SEZ in 100 Acres of land out of the land identified for the purpose of setting up FTWZ by the developer. Since the activity proposed by ISPRL is an authorized operation under FTWZ, there is no reason why they cannot be approved as co-developers. After discussions it was decided that the matter would be

6

examined on file for a decision keeping in view that the facility is of national strategic importance.

(vii) Request of M/s. Infoparks Kerala for co-developer in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at Pallipuram village, Chertala Taluk, Alappuzha District, Kerala, being developed by M/s. Kerala State Information Technology Infrastructure Limited

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to the request of M/s. Infoparks Kerala for co-developer for development of IT infrastructure together with relevant amenities and facilities on an area of 3.6423 hectares in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES SEZ at Pallipuram village, Chertala Taluk, Alappuzha District, Kerala developed by M/s. Kerala State Information Technology Infrastructure Limited.

(viii) Request of M/s. Hind Terminals (Mundra) Private Limited for co-developer in the multi product SEZ at Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat, developed by M/s. Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Limited

The representative of CBEC, indicated that there are already 10 CFSs in the SEZ. The justification for another CFS is on account of increased cargo activity for DTA cargo and not SEZ cargo. Another CFS for DTA cargo may not be required. It was pointed out that it was a very large SEZ and there will be a considerable buildup up SEZ cargo. Further Mundra Port will be adding to its container handling capacity in the next couple of years necessitating creation of additional CFS capacity. After deliberations, the Board decided the assessment of cargo likely to be available will be made and the proposal can be examined on file.

(ix) Request of M/s. Karle O&M Services for co-developer in the IT/ ITES SEZ at North Bangalore Taluk, Karnataka developed by M/s. Karle Infra Projects.

After deliberations, the Board decided to grant approval to request of M/s. Karle O&M Services for co-developer for providing O&M services in the entire SEZ in the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES SEZ at North Bangalore Taluk, Karnataka developed by M/s. Karle Infra Projects.

The DC MEPZ pointed out that there are 05 Five Star Hotels located within the radius of 5 to 10 KM from the SEZA and five more are coming up and therefore did not recommend construction of another hotel in the SEZ. DC IT/ITES also did not recommend hotel. The representative of the State Government pointed out that Tamil Nadu Government had alienated the plot of land given to TRIL under the condition that the IT SEZ would be set up along with an Integrated Convention Centre along with the five star hotel. The representative of the Government of Tamil Nadu supported the proposal for the integrated convention centre and hotel. DC IT/ITES indicated that the convention centre can be supported.

(viii) Request of M/s. CCCL Infrastructure Limited for authorized operations in the Food Processing Sector at Tuticorin District, Tamil Nadu.

The representative of the CBDT had reservations on the proposal on account of their perception that the packaging centre will be more in the nature of providing services rather than an infrastructure hence it is preferable to approve the authorized operations to be delivered by a unit rather than the developer. DC MEPZ said that the authorized operations are more in the nature of infrastructure as the facility will be used as a common packaging centre where the units will bring their packaging material and material to be packed and use the facility. The developer will not be recovering any charges on this account. The BoA accordingly, decided to approve the authorized operations, in the processing area, as given in the table subject to the developer not claiming benefits other than permitted for setting up the infrastructure:-

DC, SEEPZ said that the inspection of the site of the proposed SEZ was carried out by DC SEEPZ on 13.11.2009 and during inspection a number of issues arose such as the contiguity of the SEZ had been broken, presence of an irrigation canal which is under consideration for Upgradation by Government of Maharashtra, the farmers who have not sold their farms expressing the anxiety the water from the canal may be stopped, the access to the well had been closed by the developer, presence of a irrigation’s department road, there are private plots not sold to the developer which were not indicated in the map, the demarcation of the boundary of the SEZ being finalized without taking into account presence of farmers who have not sold their land were noted. Collector Pune and jurisdictional Tehsildar have been requested to submit a report. While the developer had submitted a revised map certified by the revenue authorities, it is not clear whether the same has been furnished to be town planning authorities. In view of the above position the DC did not recommend the proposal and the Board, therefore, decided to reject the proposal.

20

Item No. 38.11: Requests for increase/decrease in area

(i) Request of M/s. Mundra Port and Special Economic Zone Ltd. for increase in area of the multi product SEZ at Talukas Mundra & Anjar, Kutch, Gujarat

Board noted that as per Rule 5(2)(b) of SEZ Rules 2006 a Special Economic Zone for multi product shall have a contiguous area of one thousand hectares or more but not exceeding 5000 hectares. Further as per the third proviso to the Rule Central Government may consider on merit the clubbing of contiguous existing notified Special Economic Zones notwithstanding that the total area of resultant Special Economic Zone exceeds 5000 hectares. Board also noted that in the present case the SEZ is more than 5000 hectares due to clubbing of SEZs. It was noted that in this case that the total area proposed consisting of four land parcels amounting to 2008.41 hectares are contiguous to the existing SEZ at different locations. Since, the access to these land parcels have to be provided only through the SEZ, each land parcel may not be considered as an independent SEZ which could be considered for eventual integration in terms of the existing rules for clubbing of existing SEZs. BoA, therefore, after due deliberations came to the conclusion that the present proposal cannot be considered by the BOA.

(ii) Request of M/s. DLF Cyber City Developers Limited for increase as well as
decrease in area of the sector specific SEZ for IT/ITES at DLF Cyber City, Gurgaon, Haryana.

Dr. Fresh Health Care Private Limited for de-notification of 1.378 hectares of land from the above mentioned SEZ, thereby making the total area of SEZ 22.051 hectares subject to contiguity of the SEZ being maintained and DC’s certificate that the developer has refunded the tax/duty benefits, if any, in respect of the land being de-notified which might have been availed under the SEZ Act/Rules.

(x) Request of M/s. Essar SEZ Hazira Limited for de-notification of the notified sector specific SEZ for Engineering at Hazira, Gujarat (Item No. 38.2(i) of the Supplementary Agenda)

The Board noted that DC KASEZ in her report has informed that the specified officer, Essar SEZ has confirmed that the developer and the 2 SEZ units have paid the duty benefits availed by them regarding Customs Duties, Excise Duties, Service Tax, Vat, CST and Stamp Duty. The total payment made is Rs. 122.45 crores. In view of the above the 2 SEZ units have been granted final exit permission. Further the joint meeting between the Revenue Authorities and DCs office have been considered and a copy of the report has also been sent by DC KASEZ. DC has pointed out that the issues involving revenue implication are safe guarded by way of issuance of show cause notices wherein adjudication is pending, provisional assessments against bonds/bank guaranties as well as the unconditional undertakings executed by the developer and the SEZ units. Other issues involve interpretation of various provisions of SEZ Rules and Act which according to have been suitably addressed and clarified. Accordingly, she has recommended for partial deletion of the areas in respect of these 2 SEZ units amounting to 28.841 Ha. from the total notified area living a balance of 178.5813 Ha. Even after the deletion the area of SEZ is contiguous.

The representative of the Department of Revenue indicated that they are awaiting the report of the Commissioner Customs and therefore sought deferment of the proposal. The Board, after deliberations, decided that the developer may be allowed partial de-notification, keeping in view the large scale investments made which apparently presently are not being used resulting in revenue loss for the promoters as well as for the Government. Further even after partial de-notification, there are two more units in the SEZ and the SEZ itself who can be held liable for payment of any differences in settlement of dues. Accordingly, BoA approved the partial de-notification and directed that DC KASEZ will delineate the SEZ after de- notification and will also facilitate the settlement of outstanding dues, if any. The

23

orders regarding de-notification will be issued subject to contiguity being maintained and also subject to the developer refunding the tax/duty benefits, if any, in respect of the land being de-notified and also detaining the necessary certifications from the concerned authorities.

After deliberations the Board decided not to approve the request of the developer for setting up of a green field port alongwith the proposal for expansion of shipyard.

subject to DC’s certificate that the developer has refunded the tax/duty benefits, if any, which might have been availed under the SEZ Act/Rules.

Item No. 38.14: Requests for de-notification

The representative of the Department of Revenue (CBEC) indicated that there are number of issues on which the report of Chief Commissioner has been sought.

25

(ii) Request for relaxation in contiguity of the multi product SEZ at Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh proposed to be developed by M/s. IFFCO Kisan SEZ Limited (IKSEZ)

The Board noted that while the SEZ is bifurcated by a National Highway (NH), the processing area of the SEZ would be on one side of the NH and the Non- processing area would be on the other side. Further of the total area of 1023 Ha, 762 Ha which is on one side of the NH constitutes the processing area accounting for more than 50% of the total area. The process for establishing contiguity between the processing and non-processing area is in progress as NHAI, who are concerned with the NH, have been approached for construction of over bridge over the NH. As far as the processing area is concerned it can be completely secured for the purpose of revenue authorities. Keeping these in view, BoA agreed to relax the condition of contiguity in respect of this SEZ subject to all the necessary safeguards in respect of movement of goods etc being taken.

It was brought to the attention of BoA that while providing formal approval, BoA inter-alia had put a condition that no tax benefits would be available for measures taken to establish contiguity. This provision requires review keeping in view the heavy investment in respect of the over bridge being constructed. BoA, while noting that the portion of land to which contiguity is being established is also a part of the SEZ and must be, therefore, be treated at par with other similar cases where tax benefits have been provided for establishing contiguity, decided to delete this condition.

(iii)
Request of M/s. Wellgrow Buildcon Pvt. Ltd., Haryana for relaxation of contiguity

The Board was also informed that as per policy the contiguity of an IT/ITES SEZ, for which for minimum land requirement for an IT/ITES SEZ is only 10 Hectares, is being not relaxed. The Board was also informed that acceptance of request for relaxation of contiguity of IT/ITES SEZ may lead to many such requests. The Board, therefore, after deliberations decided to reject the request of the developer for relaxation of contiguity.

Item No. 38.16: Grant of second extension of in-principle approval.

BOA granted second extension in respect of M/s Rewa Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. for setting up of multi product SEZ at Raigad, Maharashtra from the date of the expiry of the last extension i.e. 07.01.2010.

Further the LoP is also subject to the time limit prescribed in respect of income tax benefits

It was decided that this issue will be discussed between the DoC and DoR

Item No. 38.20: Minutes of the meeting to discuss policy for setting up of units for recycling of plastics in SEZs

The Board deferred consideration of the proposal.

Item No. 38.21: Providing single point clearance system to the developer and unit under the State Acts and rules

` The Chairman of the BoA pointed out that while there is a rule the State Governments shall endeavour that single point clearance system is made available in the States, unfortunately, in many States the system of single point clearance has not been put into position. The developers and the units are put to considerable in convenience as they have to get approval/clearances from many departments of the States. In a recent meeting with the Chief Secretaries, this issue was flagged and they were requested to put the mechanism into position quickly. He requested the State Government representatives and the Development Commissioners to pursue the matter with the concerned State Governments so that the single point clearance mechanism is established quickly.
