01/37/218/303/ AM-18/EPCG- II 0430000746 dated 12.09.2002 Reckoning of alternate products for fulfilment of E.O. The Committee noted that in W.P. Nos.

Mills Company Limited, Chennai

01/37/218/303/ AM-18/EPCG- II 0430000746 dated 12.09.2002 Reckoning of alternate products for fulfilment of E.O. The Committee noted that in W.P. Nos.
21208 & 21209 of 2017 filed by the Party, the Hon‘ble High Court of
Judicature at Madras has passed an order dated 24.10.2018 that the DGFT has to consider the matter once again
afresh after giving an opportunity of hearing to the Petitioner.

The background of the case is as under:

i. The Petitioner company was granted an EPCG Authorization No. 0430000746 dated 12.09.2002 for export of Vanaspathi and Margarine. Later on the company had requested the DGFT for inclusion of Cotton Seed Hulls and Cotton Seed Linters as alternate export products for fulfilment of the Export Obligation on the ground that due to intense competition it was difficult to export Vanaspathi and Margarine. This request was not allowed as there was no provision for

fulfilment of the Export Obligation on the ground that due to intense competition it was difficult to export Vanaspathi and Margarine. This request was not allowed as there was no provision for

EO fulfilment by export of alternate products on the date of issuance of authorisation, i.e., 12.09.2002.

ii. The Petitioner Company submitted that the export of edible oil was banned through Notification No. 85 (RE- 2007)/2G04-2009 dated 17th March 2008 which was extended till 30.09.2010 vide Notification No. 04/ 2009-14- dated 04.09.2009. Therefore, they were unable to export the same and the export was Nil during the year 2008-09. It was reckoned that export of alternate products was inadmissible as the EPCG Authorization had been issued in September 2002, whereas the amended Para 5.4(l) of FTP was applicable for EPCG Authorizations issued after the change was notified in January, 2004.

iii. Aggrieved by the decision, the Petitioner Company filed a WP No.384 of 2017 in High Court of Madras and as per the order of the High Court dated 06.01.2017 ECPG Committee in its meeting held on 29.03.2017 considered the case and called the representative of the Petitioner for personal hearing. The request was rejected on the following grounds that

a) The ban imposed vide Notification No.85 (RE-2007) 2004-2009 dated 17.03.2008 was partial and some categories of vegetable oils were allowed for export subject to certain conditions including to 100% EOU and SEZ units. In partial modification of Notification No.

3.2008 was partial and some categories of vegetable oils were allowed for export subject to certain conditions including to 100% EOU and SEZ units. In partial modification of Notification No. 85 (RE-2007)/2004-09 dated 17.03.2008, vide Notification No. 60(RE-2008)/2004-9 dated 20.11.2008, the export of edible oils was permitted in branded consumer packs of up to 5 kgs, subject to a limit of 10,000 tons up

to 31.10.2009. Further vide Notification No. 04/2009-2014 dated 04.09.2009, the applicability of Notification No.85(RE-2007)/2004-2009 dated 17.03.2008 was extended upto 30.09.2010 and it was clarified that the notification shall not be applicable to the extension granted by Notification No.33(RE-2008)/2004-09 of 19.08.2008 and Notification No.60(RE- 2008)/2004-09 dated 20.11.2008. The party therefore, had about 5½ years during which there was no restriction as imposed by Notification No. 04/2009- 2014 dated 04.09.2009;

b) The Export Obligation Period (EOP) of the EPCG authorisation No. 0430000746 was valid for export from 12.09.2002 to 01.09.2010. The party had the option to obtain further extension in EOP for two years from the date of expiry of the EOP in terms of para 5.11 of HBP 2002-07 and also a further EOP extension of another two years which was permitted w.e.f. 01.04.2005 which were not availed;

c) The party had obtained the Authorisation in September, 2002 whereas the amended policy provision of EO fulfilment by export of alternate products came into being w.e.f.

ot availed;

c) The party had obtained the Authorisation in September, 2002 whereas the amended policy provision of EO fulfilment by export of alternate products came into being w.e.f. 28.01.2004 and which is not retrospectively applicable as there is no provision in the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulations) Act, 1992 to amend the Foreign Trade Policy with retrospective effect.

Subsequently, the High Court of Judicature at Madras had sent a copy of order dated 06.11.2017 passed by Hon‘ble High Court in respect of W.P. No. 21208 to 21209 of 2017 filed by the company.

Now, the Hon‘ble High Court in its order dated 24.10.2018 has ordered that DGFT has to consider the matter once again afresh after giving an opportunity of hearing to the Petitioner and consider the claim of the party and pass order on merit and in accordance with the law applying the relevant provisions.

In compliance of the Order dated 24.10.2018, the Petitioner was requested to appear before the Committee for Personal Hearing in its meeting held on 24.01.2019. The Petitioner vide email dated 24.01.2019 intimated its inability to attend the Hearing and requested for appearing in the next meeting. The Committee decided to defer it for the next meeting.

The representatives of the firm were granted Personal Hearing by the EPCG Committee in its meeting held on 13.02.2019 in accordance with the order of Hon‘ble High Court dated 25.10.2018. The representatives of the firm appeared before the Committee and presented the case.

ittee in its meeting held on 13.02.2019 in accordance with the order of Hon‘ble High Court dated 25.10.2018. The representatives of the firm appeared before the Committee and presented the case. The Committee gave a patient hearing to the authorized representatives of the party. The representatives of the party submitted that:

(i) As per para 5.11.3 of HBP 2009-14 whenever a ban or restrictions is imposed on export of any product, the EO would be automatically extended for a period equivalent to the duration of such ban. In the present case as there was a ban of export of edible oil for a period of around 2 ½ years, the EO deemed to have been automatically extended for a period of 2 ½ years from 01.09.2010. Therefore, the application dated 16.06.2012 for

inclusion of alternate product has been made only during the validity of EOP.

(ii) As per Chapter 5 of the EXIM Policy 2002-2007 the EO shall be fulfilled by the export of goods capable of being manufactured or produced by the use of capital goods imported under the scheme. The alternate product which the petitioner seeks to include for fulfilment of EO is cotton linters, which is a by product obtained during the manufacture of Vanaspati and Margarine. Therefore, the alternate product is produced only with the capital goods imported under the scheme and the export of the said product should have been considered for fulfilment of EO by the adjudicating authority itself.

roduct is produced only with the capital goods imported under the scheme and the export of the said product should have been considered for fulfilment of EO by the adjudicating authority itself.

submissions made by the party and observed that even if the automatic extension in EOP is considered in terms of provision of para 5.11.3 of HBP 2009-14, the party was bound to export the original export product as endorsed on the Authorisation in the automatic extended period and the addition of alternate product for export in the automatic extended period can still not be considered as the party had obtained the Authorisation in September, 2002 whereas the amended policy provision of EO fulfilment by export of alternate products came into being w.e.f. 28.01.2004.

The Committee, therefore, decided to reject the request to consider export of alternate products.

The Committee also decided that if any export of the original export product has been made by the party in the EOP by fulfilling the terms and conditions

nsider export of alternate products.

The Committee also decided that if any export of the original export product has been made by the party in the EOP by fulfilling the terms and conditions

01/36/218/299/ AM-18/EPCG-I 0530145576 dated 08.02.2008 Request for permission of EODC through Group Company. The Committee noted that the request of M/s House of Trims Pvt Ltd is for treating their partnership firm M/s Trend Setters International as a ‗group company‘ under the provision of para 9.28 of FTP 2004-09 and counting of exports made by this partnership firm. The Committee further noted the claim made by the party is that in the absence of definition of ―enterprises‘ in FTP 2004-09, the meaning of the partnership firm should be considered as a Group company.

The Committee observed that as per

para 9.28 of FTP 2004-09, a ―Group

Company‖ means two or more enterprises which, directly or indirectly, are in a position to —

(i) exercise twenty-six per cent, or more of voting rights in other enterprise; or

(ii) appoint more than fifty percent, of members of board of directors in the other enterprise.

The Committee noted that the argument of M/s House of Trims Pvt Ltd that as long as the individual partners hold share in the company, they would satisfy the requirement of Para 9.28 is not acceptable as the word ―group company‟, on a plain reading, means another ―company‖, not a partnership firm.

no merit in the request. 20. M/s. L&T Special Steels and Heavy 0330026708 dated 28.07.2010 i. Extension of export obligation The Committee observed that the earlier request of the party received vide letter dated 27.02.2015 was taken
