Circular No.
11/2020-Customs
Dated 10th February, 2020
To
All Principal Chief Commissioners/Chief Commissioners of Customs, Customs
&
Central Taxes and Customs (Preventive).
All Principal
Commissioners/Commissioners of Customs, Customs & Central
Taxes and Customs
(Preventive)
Madam / Sir,
Sub: Implementation of PGA eSANCHIT– Paperless
Processing under SWIFTUploading of Licenses/Permits/Certificates/Other
Authorizations (LPCOs) by PGAs – reg.
‘eSANCHIT’ application is successfully
in operation since 01.04.2018. With the objective of further reducing physical
interface between Customs/regulatory agencies and the trade and to increase the
speed of clearance in both imports & exports, a facility to upload digitally
signed Licenses/Permits/Certificates/Other Authorizations (LPCOs) by
Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) on eSANCHIT at all ICES locations
across India was introduced from 16.11.2018 vide
Circular No. 44/2018-Cus. dated
13.11.2018. In this regard, kindly refer to Board’s
Circular No.13/2019-Cus.
dated 03.06.2019,
Circular No.19/2019-Cus. dated 16.07.2019 and Circular
No.03/2020-Cus dated 15.01.2020. Already 47 PGAs have been enabled for uploading
their LPCOs on eSANCHIT.
2. Now, 3 more PGAs with their LPCOs as detailed in
the Annexure-I are being brought onboard eSANCHIT platform. With this, the total
number of PGAs brought on Board becomes 50 as on date.
3. Since the facility
to upload the LPCOs is now being fully made available to these 3 new PGAs,
therefore, the beneficiaries i.e. importer/exporters/customs brokers would not
be allowed to upload the previously issued LPCOs on eSANCHIT w.e.f 28.02.2020.
Further, to facilitate the 2/2 members of the trade (beneficiaries), the
PGAs are required to upload the LPCOs issued by them during the last 15 days
from the stated cut-off date. Any LPCOs issued on a prior date may also be
uploaded by the PGAs on eSANCHIT, in order to enable the beneficiary to utilize
the same.
4. It is reiterated that the PGAs will be communicating with the
beneficiaries through the email addresses registered in the ICEGATE. Board had
also introduced simplified auto registration process in ICEGATE based on email
ids already provided by them for registration under GST without the use of
digital signatures for limited purposes of eSANCHIT (communication and viewing)
and the IRNs will be communicated to such email ids. In this regard, kindly
refer to Board’s Circular No.35/2018-Cus. dated 01.10.2018 and
Circular No.
14/2019-Cus. dated 03.06.2019. Since the facility of beneficiary uploading these
documents through eSANCHIT will be deactivated from 28.02.2020, beneficiary
registration is of utmost importance. Hence, all the formations are requested to
reach out to the beneficiaries to ensure that correct email addresses are
reflected in the ICEGATE. Special efforts may be taken for wide publicity in
this regard.
5. All Chief Commissioners of Customs are requested to issue
public notices. Feedback and queries, if any, may be sent by email to
[email protected].
6. Any difficulties, in this regard, may be brought to the notice of the
Board.
