Trade Notice No. 25/2018
Dated: 14th March 2018

Members of Trade.
Subject: Launch of e-MPS- facility to make online payment for miscellaneous
applications.
DGFT has always endeavoured to promote ease of doing business by providing
online mode for submission of applications for various FTP schemes and digital
payment for these applications. Still, there are applications like amendment of
license, payment of composition fee etc. where facility of online payment is not
available. To bridge this gap, a facility is being made available to make online
payment of fee/ charges for all the applications where payment is currently
being made through manual mode i.e. through Demand Draft/ Bank Receipt.
Using this facility, the online payment can now be made even for a manual
application made to a DGFT Regional Office/ DGFT HQ. The proof of payment, along
with the relevant application has to be submitted to the concerned DGFT Regional
Authority (RA)/ DGFT HQ.
On submission, the concerned DGFT Regional Office will authenticate the
payment from the system and update it as utilized. The DGFT Office will print
the receipt, having unique DGFT reference number, of payment received and will
link it with the particular application submitted. The fee for the application
will be treated as paid and application will be processed.
Both, the online payment and manual mode payment will be allowed for one
month from the issue of this trade notice. The issues reported and problem faced
with thee-MPS will be addressed in this one month period. At the expiry of the
one month period all the fee payments will have to be made electronically only.
It has to be noted that this new facility is not to be used for making payment
for applications where an online payment facility coupled with online
application facility is already available. For example; fee for MEIS has to be
paid through the MEIS application module only.
The facility of online payment can be accessed from DGFT website using Online
Application → ECOM → Online ECOM Application path or from
http://164.100.128.143/e_homepage.asp link. The applicant has to login using his
Digital Certificate. Login ids/ pwds have been created for DGFT offices to
access this module. The user guide for both members of the trade and internal
users of DGFT Offices can be downloaded from the above link.
