Instructions regarding DEEC Scheme - Issue of Telegraphic Release Advises
Circular
No. 12th dated 20th February 1995
I am directed to
say that in the course of his recent visits to some of the Customs Houses Member
(EP & Cus) had noticed Telegraphic Release Advance (TRAs) are being issued
by the Licencing Section of the Customs Houses, without any reference to
Appraising Group-7/DEEC Cell which handles all matters relating to imports and
exports under the Duty Exemption Scheme. Such a practice, it was observed, had
resulted in issue of TRAs at minor ports/ ICDs in contravention of Board's
instructions. With a view to ensure for implementation of the Duty Exemption
Scheme on an all India basis, it is necessary to direct that this practice
should be immediately stopped because such situations has affected the Customs
House later on to log the DEEC Book keeping in account the various provisions of
the various exemption notifications issued under the DEEC Scheme.
2. In this
connection your attention is also invited to Ministry's Circular No. 14/94 dt.
1.6.94 (F.No. 605/139/92-DBK) under which detailed instructions were issued
relating to issue of TRAs under the DEEC Scheme. The said instructions envisage
that the licence under DEEC Book would be debited by the Customs authorities at
the port of registration. The Port of clearance would only be debiting the TRAs
received by them after satisfying regarding the admissibility of import goods
for duty concession and clearing the import goods and report the particulars of
clearance to the port of registration of the licence. It is therefore necessary
that in all cases under the Duty Exemption Scheme, TRAs are issued only by
Group-7/DEEC itself after debit entries have been made in the DEEC Book after
due satisfaction that the goods sought to be cleared duty free are eligible for
exemption in terms of the advance licence/ DEEC Book and the conditions of the
exemption notifications.
3. You are according
requested to make immediate arrangements to follow the above procedure if need
be by suitable redeployment of the staff presently working under Licencing
Section to the DEEC Section and send a detailed report on the action taken,
before 28.2.95. Suitable S.O./ D.O./ PN may be issued.
