Extension of DEPB – Board Clarifies
BY Notification No. dated 22.06.2011, DEPB was extended till 30 th September 2011. All exports having ‘Let Export Order' upto 30.09.2011 are eligible for issue of DEPB scrips by the DGFT.
Board is aware that there may be a rush of export consignments before the said date under the DEPB scheme causing extra load on the EDI system, since export consignments with ‘Let Export Order' after 30.09.2011 would not be eligible for benefits of the DEPB scheme.
So, the Board wants:
++ the field officers to take due care and ensure that all consignments that have been examined / found fit for export on 30.09.2011 are given ‘Let Export' order promptly on the EDI system.
++ In case of any systems related problem, ‘Let Export Order' should be endorsed manually on such shipping bills on 30-09-2011 so that the interests of the exporters are not adversely affected.
