The DC, FSEZ had sent a request dated 6.7.2015 followed by a remainder dated 6.10.2015 to the unit to deposit rental dues. But , neither any reply nor any rent was deposited by the firm . The matter was decided in the 74th UAC Meeting and a Show Cause Notice was issued vide office letter dated 15.09.2015 to the unit as to why their LOP will not be cancelled for failure to pay govt. dues on time and why penalty should not be imposed and LoP dated 14.05.2003 should not be cancelled for violation of FTP, Handbook of Procedure etc. and SEZ Act and Rules.

Again the matter was considered in the 78th UAC held on 14.01.2016 and the Committee has decided to cancel the LoA , since the rent has not been cleared within the time limit by the Unit i.e 31.12.2015. The Committee has informed that in spite of repeated reminders, rental dues outstanding has not been deposited therefore, the LoP dated 14.05.2003 shall be treated as cancelled in terms of Section 16 of SEZ Act, 2005 and SEZ Rules, 2006 by occupying the Govt. premises and being the defaulter of rent and which acts as a deterrent for any further violation of any law in force and Lease Right Cease to exist in terms of Rules 11(5) of SEZ 2006 and non performance of Foreign Trade Activity.

Aggrieved by the above order, M/s.
