During Norms Committee meeting, the representative of Deptt. of Revenue present in the meeting reiterated that NC

PRO version should not look at the cases relating to revision of Value Cap and DEPB rates. Committee was of the view that in the light of recent decision of Government to extend the DEPB benefits to the exporters, it is not possible to stop the normal functioning of Norms Committee entrusted with it, which also include the consideration of cases relating to revision of Value Cap and DEPB rates. Moreover, it is also a fact that NC simply considers these cases only for recommendation to DEPB Committee and it is the only DEPB Committee, which finalizes the cases. It was therefore decided to intimate Deptt. of Revenue accordingly.
