Dear Member,

The Office of DGFT had received representations from members of trade seeking extension of benefit of Merchandise Export From India Scheme (MEIS) to such cases/ shipping bills where exporters have inadvertently ticked “N” (for No) instead of “Y” (for Yes) in the “Reward” column of shipping bills while filing the EDI shipping bills, but have declared the intent in the affirmative (in wordings) on the shipping bills.

In this connection, DGFT has requested the following:

• Those Exporters who have shipping bills which got ticked “N” instead of “Y” in “Reward” column of shipping bills while filing the EDI shipping bills but have declared  the intent in the affirmative (in wordings) on the shipping bills may send the details in excel format as in the table given below by 31.03.2018 to lokesh.hd@nic.in.

• While sending the details, please note that the shipping bills which had a Let Export date from 01.10.2015 to 31.03.2016 only should be included.

• Shipping bills in which declaration of intent has been allowed by customs authorities later, by manual amendment or otherwise should be excluded from the table.

Thanking you,
