Dated: 18th
April 2006
Subject: Online submission of applications
Vide
Policy Circular Nos. 48 dated 10th February 2006 the system of
remitting licence fee through the EFT mode was made optional till 31.03.2006
for certain categories of applications.
2. It has now been decided that all applications
for Advance Licence (excluding Para 4.7 and DFRC applications), Advance Licence
for Annual Requirement, EPCG Licence and DEPB Licence (for EDI shipping bills
from notified EDI Ports w.e.f. 01.10.2005) and Duty
Free Import Authorisation scheme will have to be submitted with digital
signature on the DGFT website dgft.gov.in (as is
being done now) and payment of licence fee will also have to be made through
the EFT payment gateway of the DGFT designated banks on the DGFT website dgft.gov.in compulsorily from 01 May 2006.
3. In case of third party exports in case
of DEPB claims based on EDI DEPB shipping bills, the applications will also
need to be filed through the ECOM mode only on the DGFT website and no manual
DEPB applications will be allowed. Regional Licensing Authority will however
need to check on the admissibility of the third party claims from the documents
submitted by the third party claimants in this behalf before passing such
claims.
This issues with the approval of the DGFT.
