(a) Advance Authorisation Scheme under Para 4.09 of Foreign Trade Policy, 2015-20 also states that a “Minimum value addition required to be achieved under Advance Authorisation is 15%. (b) Export Products where value addition could be less than 15% are given in Appendix 4D.” On perusal of Appendix 4D, it is noted that a lower value addition is only prescribed for only 2 items i.e. Copper Anode etc. and certain specified petroleum products.

5% are given in Appendix 4D.” On perusal of Appendix 4D, it is noted that a lower value addition is only prescribed for only 2 items i.e. Copper Anode etc. and certain specified petroleum products. 

iii. While processing Rice Bran (the duty free raw material imported by the firm from Bangladesh under the Advance Authorisation), the main product which is obtained is the ‘Rice Bran Oil’ and as a by-product De-Oiled Rice Bran [DORB] extraction is generated. Firm in their submissions dated 31.10.2018 has also stated that they have not exported the main product ‘Rice Bran Oil’ and this has been sold in the domestic market. 

iv. The firm after processing the duty free input i.e. Rice Bran has exported the by-product De-Oiled Rice Bran [DORB] extractionto fulfil the export obligation commitment under the Advance Authorisation Scheme.

## 3. The Committee further noted that: 

i) In its earlier meetings as detailed in Para 1 above, the Committee has rejected the cases for fixation of Input Output Norms as the technical opinion given to Committee observed that it is not possible to achieve a 15% Value Addition after rice bran oil extraction from the duty free imported rice bran; 

- ii) The firm has requested for a review of the earlier decision and has stated in their submissions that there is no restriction or Policy violation for sale of extracted Rice Bran Oil in the domestic market as it fetches a higher price in the Indian market compared to the international market. 

iii) While obtaining the Advance Authorisation for import of duty free ‘Rice Bran’ the firm was well aware that export of ‘Rice Bran Oil/is eS ainsi Na will need to 

adhere to the parameters of the Advance Authorisation Scheme by only exporting the by-product generated i.e. DORB. Further, they also agreed and declared in their application to achieve a minimum 15% value addition from export of DORB. iv) The investigations of DRI are pending against the subject Advance Authorisations and also observed that the matter is subjudice in Hon’ble High Court at Kolkata;

4. The Committee also noted that vide OM No.14011 /14/2016-ID dated 28.08.2018, MoFPI has recommended import of 1.11 MT “Rice Bran” & 2.30 Ltr. “Hexane” for export of 1 MT of Deoiled Rice Bran extraction. It was noted that the firm, in its revised submissions, did not give any information to the query raised by the Committee regarding the domestic sale price of the ‘Rice Bran Oil’ which is an important criteria for arriving at the IO norms [for offsetting the saleable wastage or by-product generated during the production process from the duty free entitlements].Rice Bran oil is the best quality vegetable oil with high vitamin E content and has a considerable high price as compared to other edible oils, 

i) The Committee deliberated the issue again regarding fixation of Input Output Norms based on the revised submissions, the extant FTP/HBP provisions and the advice of the MoFPI and other technical representatives present in the meeting. It was noted that India is one of the largest producer and exporter of rice in the world. Rice, when it is milled, rice bran, a by-product of rice consisting of the outer layer of the kernels is obtained. Rice bran is further processed for its oil and DORB/ meal and sufficient domestic availability of Rice Bran is there.

n, a by-product of rice consisting of the outer layer of the kernels is obtained. Rice bran is further processed for its oil and DORB/ meal and sufficient domestic availability of Rice Bran is there. It was also noted that primary purpose of extraction is rice bran oil and Rice bran oil is known for its nutritional superiority and better protection of heart.This oil is also suitable for high temperature cooking. 

After crude oil has been extracted from rice bran, De-Oiled Rice Bran (DORB) is obtained. DORB is widely used in the manufacture ofCattle feed,Poultry feed,Fish feed, as fuel for boilers and used for manufacturing sodium silicate, silica gel, insulation bricks, etc. (using fully burnt white ash of husk). 

ii) The Committee also noted that a Standard Input Output Norm (SION) has already been notified under E39 for export of Rice Bran extraction which reads as under:

Other similar SIONs like E14[Deviled Sal seed cake], E37 [Rape Seed extraction], E42 [Soya Extraction] also allow only Hexane as a duty free input/raw material. | However, exports continue to happen based on market dynamics. | iii) The Committee also noted the submissions of the firm that under Para 4.49 (b) of Handbook of Procedures 2015-20 any shortfall in Value Addition can be regularized by | | Payment of a fee equivalent to 1% of shortfall in FOB value in Indian Rupee.

Moreover, the firm has enjoyed the benefit of Customs duty exemption on | | importation of rice bran and sold the rice bran oil, obtained after extraction in the domestic market.
