Process of reconciliation of realization of export proceeds - Board Instructions
THE process of reconciliation of realization of export proceeds that occurs consequent to duty drawback payments was prescribed by CBEC Circular No. 5/2009-Customs dated 02.02.2009.
Board has come to know that
1. Field formations are insisting on the exporter/owner to submit the BRC/negative statements in person.
2. Even after the exporter has proof of having submitted BRC/negative statement, these documents are asked repeatedly;
3. The exporter is asked to attend personal hearing despite having submitted BRC/negative statement;
4. It is insisted that only the exporter/owner should attend hearing in person.
Board feels that such actions on the part of the officers reflect negatively on the department and do not add any value to the process of reconciliation. Such actions are strongly disapproved by Board. Board wants Commissioners to ensure that no room exists for generation of such avoidable grievances in their respective charges through proper management, guidance and close supervision of the reconciliation process.
