the delay in filing of Softex. It is further seen that the unit had for the period from January, 2016 to December, 2016 had also taken condonation for delay in the filing of Softex from RBI.

 As the unit has been granted LOA for providing IT/ITES Services from their SEZ Unit, and since the services provided by them to DTA against INR does not classify as a ‘Service’ as per definition as given in Section 2(z) of SEZ Act, 2005, the unit has violated the provisions of the SEZ Acts / Rules.

As per Rule 54(2) of SEZ Rules, 2006

 The Unit has received payment in INR instead of Foreign Currency, hence contravened the provision of Section 2(z)(iii) of SEZ Act, 2005. If agreed by the Approval Committee, SCN may be issued.

 It is seen that the Unit has not been regular in filing of SOFTEX from 2016-17 onwards hence contravened the provisions of Rule 46 (3) (i) of the SEZ Rules, 2006.
