- Trade Notice No.1 dated 8th May, 2012 was issued stipulating the procedure
that would be adopted for issue of cotton RC’s in addition to that provided in
Notification No.113 of 4th May 2012. The following additional points are being
stipulated to further streamline the registration process:
i) Maximum quantity for which an application for obtaining a RC can be made was
indicated as 10000 bales (1 standard bale is equal to 170 Kg) in Notification
No.113 of 4th May, 2012. Thus any application/e-mail for more than this quantity
will be summarily rejected.
ii) Each e-mail sent to [email protected] has to mention details of the
letter of credit/FIRC (giving evidence of advance payment). Number of the
instrument and date of such instrument (LC/FIRC) has to be mandatorily mentioned
in the message body of e-mail.
