2 I I . PROJECT PROFILE (i) Product to be manufacture d/
service to be rendered Information Technology/ Information Technology Enabled Services - IT/ITES – ITC/CPC-998311/83131. They intend to provide IT/ITES services including but not restricted to back office support, data processing, support centres, accounting services and other business services etc. (ii) Brief detail of the project Genpact began in 1997 as a customs support centre for GE business. They have grown from a fledgling company, employing around 350 people in India in 1997 to one with an employee base of over 80000 people globally. Genpact India is one of the affiliates to Genpact Group and is one of the largest Business Processes and Technology Services Centre in India, having presence in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida. They presently have around 11 SEZ units and 10 STPI units operating in India. Genpact India Pvt. Ltd. have acquired certain back-office support functions such as ‘Accounts Payable (AP) and ‘Accounts Receivable (AR)’ from Eaton Technologies Pvt. Ltd., EON, SEZ, Kharadi. These services were presently being provided by Eaton Technologies SEZ Unit at EON, Kharadi, Pune to Eaton entities globally. Eaton headquarters (US) has decided to carve out the said back- office support functions and assign the same to M/s Genpact India for which Eaton Global and Genpact UK have executed a Master Service Agreement dated 31.01.2023 wherein M/s Genpact UK have agreed to render the back office support service to M/s Eaton Global. M/s. Eaton Technologies Pvt. Ltd. EON, SEZ, Pune has put up an application for partial deletion of an area of 36,232.74 sq. ft. and the said area will be taken over by M/s.Genpact India at EON SEZ. M/s Eaton will transfer all the assets alongwith furniture and fixtures to the new unit M/s Genpact who would be taking over the same and will commence/continue the operations in the SEZ as a going concern. With regard to the above, it is seen that in an earlier case of M/s Eaton India Innovation Centre LLP the unit had on similar lines sold one of their business vertical i.e ‘hydraulic business’ to M/s. Danfoss alongwith all the assets and employees. In the said case this office had vide letter dated 07.01.2021 referred the matter to Ministry seeking clarification on the following points : (a) There is no provision in the SEZ Act/Rule which permits a unit to do partial de-bonding without physical File No.S-SEZ-PRO0EON1/6/2023-JDCP I/2056/2023 110

3 removal of the goods from the area (with or without duty payment) and hence Specified Officer cannot issue ‘No dues’ for the area (b) Since, this is a case of partial business transfer, it is not covered under Rule 74A of the SEZ Rules, 2006. (c) In case effective date of transfer if postponed/deferred, there will be two LOA for the same location till the actual transfer and the existing unit will continue to occupy the place and do business even after new LOA is granted to the new unit. In this regard, MOC&I vide F.NO. K-43022/7/2021- SEZ dated 21-01-2021 clarified that “M/s Eaton India intends to surrender a part of space alongwith some assets and employees through partial business transfer to M/s Danfoss Technologies. This is completely operational issue and prima facie there appears to be no revenue loss provided that the developer has no objection to the proposed transfer and suitable clause owing to the proposed transfer of space, assets, employees, date of execution and ceasure are clearly incorporated in the agreement proposed to be entered between the parties. Further, Instruction No.89 issued by DoC provides for re-organisation, business transfer arrangements to be undertaken by the unit with the approval of the UAC” and to take appropriate decision alongwith necessary safeguards and ensure that there is no revenue loss to the Government”

On similar issue, in the case of M/s BNY Mellon Technology Pvt. Ltd., Magarpatta SEZ, setting up of the new unit was granted on in-principal basis, subject to the condition that the unit will fulfil the T&C of the LOA and upon execution of BLUT and further transfer of all the fit- outs as per the asset purchase agreement and written confirmation from the Specified Officer for such assets being transferred an accounted for in the BLUT of the new Unit.
