Circular No.ES/43/2015-16 December 10, 2015
To : Members of the Council
Sub: Declaration of intent under Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) - reg.
Dear Sir,
As you are aware, DGFT as per Public Notice No. 40 dated 09th October 2015, had prescribed a procedure to be followed for claiming rewards under MEIS where exports had been made through Electronic data interchange (EDI) generated shipping bills between 01.04.2015 to 31.05.2015 and the exporter had inadvertently marked ‘N’ in the “reward item box” and wished to seek MEIS benefit.
Subsequently the Government had received representations from exporters and trade & industry that such procedure should also be made applicable to exports made beyond 31.05.2015.
In this regard, DGFT has now issued Public Notice No. 47/2015-20 dated 8th December, 2015 in which it is informed that Shipping bills, where declaration of intent ‘Y’ has not been marked and ‘N’ has been ticked inadvertently in the ‘reward item box’ while filing shipping bills in Customs for exports made between 01.06.2015 to 30.09.2015, shall be transmitted by CBEC to DGFT.
It may be informed that the concerned Regional Authority (RA) will consider such applications subject to conditions laid down in para 4 (a) and (b) of the Public Notice.
Members are requested to please make a note of the above and do the needful.
Thanking you,
V.ANIL KUMAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
