1.  Trade Notice No.1 dated 8^th 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 4^th 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 4^th 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.
   
   iii) Once the e-mail has been sent to DGFT, hard copy of the application along with printout of the e-mail sent must be submitted to RA within 2 working days.
