In pursuance of the representation
of the trade during the PTFC Meeting held on 30.09.2009, the procedure for
re-construction of Export Promotion (EP) copy shipping bills as prescribed in
the Standing Order No.3/2009 dated 04.02.2009 has been re-examined.
2. Standing
Order No.3/2009 dated 04.02.2009 pertains to re-construction of EP copy
shipping bills in cases where such documents have been lost or misplaced. This
does not pertain to cases where the EP copy is not printed due to power failure
or their representative is not available to collect the EP copy when the print
command is given and EP copies are generated for the first time. It is,
therefore, clarified that in all such cases, the officer incharge
of the CFS concerned shall attend to the reconstruction of the EP copy.
3. As regards
re-construction of EP copy shipping bills in cases where such documents have
been lost or misplaced, it is noticed that all the shipping bills filed under
various export promotion schemes are being transmitted online to DGFT and can
be verified by DGFT online. Hence, it has been decided that in all such cases
the officer incharge of the CFS concerned shall
attend to the reconstruction of the EP copy. However, in all such cases
procedure as prescribed under Standing Order No.3/2009 dated 04.02.2009 shall
be followed.
4. The above guidelines come into force with
immediate effect.
5. Difficulties faced, if any, in this
regard may be brought to the notice of the undersigned.
