AS per Customs Circular No. 14/2008- Cus dated 26th September 2008, the Central Excise Authority is required to issue installation certificate within 30 days from the date of acknowledgment of the application, if found in order.

The DGFT's Mumbai Zonal office has issued a Trade Notice to the effect that:-
1. Wherever application for installation certificate is made to Central Excise Authority and if 30 days have lapsed from the date of acknowledgment of such application, the trade shall submit the copy of acknowledgment along with a Chartered Engineer certificate confirming the installation of the capital goods within six months from the date of imports.
2. The said acknowledgment and Chartered Engineer Certificate shall be accepted by the Zonal office.
3. However, the applicant shall submit declaration to the effect that no deficiency has been raised by the Excise Authority and original acknowledgment has not been called back by the Authority.
How do you call back an acknowledgement?
