Dear Member,

We would like to inform you that JNCH has issued  Public Notice No. 40 /2017  dated 24.03.2017 on the above subject.

Attention is invited to our Circular No.ES/320 /2016-17  dated  March  02, 2017 wherein CBEC had issued  Circular No. 6/2017-Customs dated 28.02.2017 on the above subject.

Pursuant to the instructions of Board, vide Circular No 06/2017 dated 28.02.2017 contained in JS Drawback's F. No.609/03/2017-DBK, attention of Members of Trade is invited to the following;

• That in addition to the negative statement from Statutory auditor or AD Bank, e-BRC can also be used as one of the documents for deletion of pendency in BRC Module functioning in terms of Board’s Circular No. 5/2009-Cus.dated 02.02.2009 and Public Notice No 11/2009 dated 22.11.2009 issued by this Customs House for the Shipping Bills having LEO dates from 12.08.2012 to 31.03.2014.

• e- BRC would also be accepted for the proof of realization of exports proceeds except in the case of specific intelligence or information of misuse.

• Acceptance of e-BRC by the Customs Authorities would be subject to appropriate declaration by the exporter on the reverse of the DGFT’s e-BRC. Prescribed format of the said declaration is annexed to the Public Notice No. 40 /2017.

However, monitoring of the realization of export proceeds for the Shipping Bills having LEO dates from 01.04.2014 onwards would be continued to be dealt in terms of provisions of the Public Notice 11/2017 dated 30.01.2017 issued by this Customs House for the implementation of the RBI-BRC Module.

If there is any difficulty in implementation of the above procedure, members may kindly contact the Additional Commissioner in-charge of BRC, Drawback Section, NS- II on  022-27244968/  drawbackquery.jnch@gmail.com.

Thanking you,
