New Delhi, the 28th February, 2017
To
Principal Chief Commissioners / Principal Directors General
Chief Commissioners / Directors General
Principal Commissioners &
Commissioners, all under CBEC
Sir/Madam,
Subject: Acceptance of e-BRC of DGFT towards proof of realization of sale proceeds for exports with LEO date upto
31.03.2014 under drawback scheme –reg.
Attention is invited to Board’s
Circular No. 5/2009-Customs dated 2nd Feb 2009
which prescribes Bank Realization
Certificate (BRC) as one of the documents that may be submitted to Customs by the exporters as proof of realization of sale
proceeds for exports. Further, for exports with LEO date from 01.04.2014 onwards, an electronic system of reconciliation of
sale proceeds (RBI-BRC module) is made functional by DG (Systems) in coordination with Reserve Bank of India (RBI),
which has been dealt in
Instruction No. 609/59/2012-DBK dated 27th Nov 2015.
2. A difficulty has been highlighted by field formations and trade that for exports with LEO date 12th Aug2012 onwards
till 31st March 2014, DGFT’s e-BRC (which is also verifiable from DGFT website) is not being accepted and negative statement
from statutory auditor or AD bank is insisted which adds to transaction cost. Non-acceptance of e-BRC of DGFT by field
formations is due to fact that it contains “realized value” details but does not contain details of commission, freight, insurance
etc. which are often relevant for drawback purpose.
3. In light of the above, the Board has decided that for exports with LEO dates 12th Aug 2012 onwards till 31st March 2014,
DGFT’s e-BRC would be accepted, except in case of specific intelligence or information of misuse. This shall be subject to
appropriate declaration by the exporter on back of DGFT e-BRC. Format of the said declaration is annexed herewith.
4. A suitable Public Notice and Standing Order may be issued for the guidance of the trade and staff. Difficulties
faced, if any, in implementation of the Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board at an early date.
Yours faithfully,
(Dipin Singla)
Senior Technical Officer (Drawback)
