Notice No. 79(RE-2010)/2009-14 dated 13.10.2011
Public Notice No. 79(RE-2010)/2009-14 dated 13.10.2011 had stated in para
4.20.05 “ ---This facility will be available only till 31st March 2012,
thereafter no clubbing of Authorisations issues before 31st March 2001 shall be
allowed. No clubbing of erstwhile Value Based Advance licences shall be
allowed”.
- A question has been raised about such applications that have been received by
the Regional Authority before the due date i.e.31.03.12, but are yet to be
disposed of. The new Handbook of Procedure and the annual supplement issued on
05.06.12 have been silent on such issues.
- The matter has been examined. Intention of the Government is to facilitate
clubbing if conditions of Public Notice No.79 are satisfied. Hence, it is
reiterated that requests for clubbing of advance authorisations filed by the
exporters in the office of Regional Authorities of DGFT on or before 31st March
2012 should be disposed of as per the provision of the Handbook of Procedure
prior to the revised edition/annual supplement dated 05.06.2012.
- This issues with the approval of DGFT.
