obligation discharge for supplies made to SEZ units in case of EPCG Authorization

 

                                                                                                        

Dear Members,

 

As informed recently,  the requirement of submission of Bill of Export for supplies made to SEZ in case of Advance Authorization has been relaxed vide Policy Circular No. 39 dated 07.06.2022.

 

In continuation of the same,  O/o  Directorate General of Foreign Trade has issued  Policy Circular No. 43/2015-20 dated 27th  July, 2022 regarding Relaxation in provision of submission of “Bill of Export” as an evidence of export obligation discharge for supplies made to SEZ units in case of EPCG Authorization.

 

We understand that it has been decided to relax the condition of requirement of submission of  “Bill of Export” in case of exports made to SEZ units under EPCG Authorization, for all such supplies made prior to 01.04.2015.

 

Accordingly, for the purpose of discharge of export obligation under EPCG Authorizations, in case of supplies made to SEZ units prior to 01.04.2015, exporters can submit corroborative evidence in lieu of  “Bill of Export” such as:

 

  • ARE-I form duly attested by jurisdictional Central Excise authorities of EPCG authorization holder.

  • Evidence of receipt of the supplies by the recipient in the SEZ.

  • Evidence of payment made by the SEZ, unit to the EPCG authorization holder.

 

Members (specially EPCG holders)   are requested to take note of this relaxation and do the needful, if applicable.  The said  DGFT  Policy Circular No. 43/2015-20 dated 27th  July, 2022 is also available for reference on below link-
