Policy Circular No.
25/2015-2020
Dated: 1st July, 2019
To
All Regional Authorities of DGFT
All Exporters/Members of Trade
Subject: Clarification on Jurisdictional RA/RA concerned for
SEIS-Para 3.06 (c) of Handbook of Procedures
This Directorate
has received queries related to Jurisdictional RA concerned while filing SEIS
application where a firm has both DTA and SEZ unit(s). The doubt is over the
correct Jurisdictional authority, in case an IEC holder has both DTA and SEZ
Unit, however, there is zero export turnover- from one of the categories among
the DTA / SEZ unit(s).
2. The matter has been examined in the Directorate. It may be noted that the
Para 3.06 (c) of HBP states as below:
| 1 |
2 |
3 |
| SL.No. |
Units |
Jurisdictional RA |
| (i) |
Importer Exporter Code (IEC) Holders having units only in DTAs |
Jurisdictional RA of DGFT as in Appendix lA |
| (ii) |
IEC Holders having units only in SEZs |
Respective Development Commissioner of Special Economic Zones (SEZs)
as in
Appendix lA |
| (iii) |
IEC Holders having units in Multiple SEZs |
Single application for all units to the Development Commissioner of
the SEZ where it has achieved highest Forex Earnings |
| (iv) |
IEC Holders having units both in DTA and SEZs |
Single Application for all different units to the Jurisdictional RA
of DGFT as given in Appendix lA |
3. This provision is further elaborated and it is clarified that in cases where
exports from one of the categories, DTA or SEZ unit(s) have zero export
turnover, the SEIS application would be filed with the RA in whose jurisdiction,
the units with non-zero export turnover fall. For example, if an IEC’s DTA gross
exports earnings are NIL, and its SEZ Unit has some gross export earnings, the
application is required to be filed at the relevant DC of the SEZ as per the
para 3.06 of the HBP.
4. This issues with the approval of Competent
Authority.
