Subject: Errors in the Bank account No., IFSC Code, etc. given by exporters
for processing claims of Duty Drawback and Rebate of State Levies (RoSL) Scheme
– regarding.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board by Systems Directorate that at
times errors exist in the Bank account number, IFSC code, etc. given by
exporters, which leads to rejection of claim for payment of Duty Drawback by the
local bank authorities. Similarly, even a single such error leads to rejection
of entire scroll in the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) during the
processing of claims for Rebate of State Levies (RoSL).
2. The exporters had earlier been advised by the Systems Directorate to
ensure correct account details vide their advisory/ ticker on the ICEGATE
website. However, it is found that these details in respect of numerous
exporters are still not rectified, leading to rejection of claims of Duty
Drawback and scrolls of RoSL amount.
3. Accordingly, it is desired that exporters may immediately be advised to
provide correct Bank account details, IFSC code, etc. in respect of IECs pointed
out by Systems Directorate for smooth disbursal of Duty Drawback and RoSL
amount. Field formations are also requested to actively follow up with exporters
so that the correct account details are updated on priority on a regular basis.
4. Chief Commissioners are requested to suitably guide and instruct field
formations for ensuring quick necessary action. An action taken report may be
forwarded to Board by 24th March, 2017.
Yours faithfully,
