Through the above cited Trade Notice it was informed that the online

(LCS) on Indo-Bangladesh & Indo-Nepal border subject to registration of quantity

rice and wheat would also be issued only on application through online system.
It is reiterated that there is no change in the policy for export of
non-basmati rice & wheat. Registration Certificate is required for non-basmati
rice & wheat only when it is exported to Bangladesh & Nepal through non-EDI Land
Custom Stations (LCS).
