Sub: Submission of applications for claiming deemed export benefits under Para

Sir,
Attention is invited to
Policy Circular No.17(RE-2008)/2004-09 dated 4th July,
2008 on the above subject. In Para 3 thereof, it is inter-alia mentioned that in
respect of all the claims arising for a particular calendar month/ quarter (as
per option of the applicant), a single consolidated application should be filed
within the stipulated period.
2 The matter has been considered and it has been decided that paragraph 3 of
Policy circular No 17 dated 4th July 2008 may be substituted as under:-
“3. The issues have been considered. It is seen that sub- paras 8.3.1 (ii) and
(iv) of Handbook V.I do not impose restriction on submission of multiple
applications. However, to reduce the paper work and ensure proper monitoring,
there is necessity to limit the number of applications which an applicant may
file within a year. Therefore, it is clarified that in respect of all the claims
arising for a particular month /quarter (as per the option of applicant), one
consolidated application should be filed within the stipulated time period. It
is further clarified that for all the deemed export benefit claims, in respect
of a particular project or a particular recipient(of goods) unit, arising in a
calendar month/quarter(as per the option of applicant), a consolidated
application can also be filed within the stipulated time period of twelve months
from end of the monthly/quarterly period. Such applications, even if more than
one in a month/quarter, will not be treated as supplementary claims under para
9.4 of HBP V.1.”
3 It is also clarified that the cases filed prior to the issuance of
Public
Notice No 102 dated 16.1.2008 would be disposed of as per the provisions
available prior to the above Public Notice.
This issues with the approval of Director General of Foreign Trade.
Yours faithfully,
(Sanjay Rastogi)
