Sub: Implementation of PGA eSANCHIT a Paperless Processing under SWIFT-Uploading of Licenses/Permits/Certificates/Other Authorizations (LPCOs) by PGAs
Dear Member,
CBIC has issued Circular No 11/2020-Customs dated 10th February, 2020 on the above issue.
As you are aware ‘eSANCHIT” application was successfully in operation since 1st April, 2018. With the objective of further reducing physical interface between Customs / regulatory agencies and the trade and to increase the speed of clearance in both imports & exports, a facility to upload digitally signed Licenses / Permits / Certificates / Other Authorizations (LPCOs) by Participating Government Agencies (PGAs), eSANCHIT was introduced at all ICES locations across India from 16th November, 2018.
Kind attention is invited to CBIC’s Circular No.44/2018-Cus. dated 13.11.2018, Circular No.13/2019-Cus. dated 3.6.2019, Circular No.19/2019-Cus dated 16.07.2019, Circular No 03/2020-Customs dated 15th January, 2020 through which already 47 PGAs have been enabled for uploading their LPCOs on eSANCHIT.
Now, we would like to inform you that 3 more PGAs with their LPCOs are added in the Annexure – I, and these PGAs are being brought onboard the e-SANCHIT platform. The total number of PGAs is 50 as on date.
Please be informed that –
