Systems Alert for monitoring realisation of export proceeds in EDI under the BRC Module for ICES -CBEC Instructions
"THE overall list of all drawback EDI shipping bills where export proceeds have not been realised in time should be generated from the BRC Module on 1.3.2016. This list should be immediately placed in the public domain. The Assistant/Deputy Commissioner should issue notices in such cases by clubbing cases pertaining to individual IEC No. to recover the drawback, excluding relevant cases like where such action is already initiated or where the requisite details are produced before notice is issued, etc.", CBEC has instructed its field formations.
The Board adds,
Since the BRC Module is dependent upon information entered manually by designated officers in the EDI for generating the list of actionable cases, the Commissioners have a responsibility that there should not be situations where exporter has proof of submission of requisite certificates or negative statements while the special cells have not entered these details or ask repeatedly for same information. The existence of adequate room to avoid un-fructuous work is evident from the information that a large number of notices related to recovery of drawback on account of absence of reconciliation issued in the past were dropped as proceeds were already correctly realised. This needs to be minimised through better management.
Each Commissioner should firstly ensure that every certificate/statement already received is expeditiously fed in to the BRC Module. Further, Commissioners should issue a public notice latest by 4.12.2015 (also place on their website) seeking submission of the certificates/negative statements by exporters not later than 27.1.2016 for all drawback EDI shipping bills with LEO dates from 1.4.2013 to 31.3.2014. The public notice may also indicate a nodal officer for receiving these documents through submission or post. The concerned Joint/Additional Commissioner should be made responsible for ensuring that the officers, specially designated by the Commissioner to verify the certificate/statement and to make entries in the BRC Module, complete these duties expeditiously. While making the entries, the relevant XOS statements (which do not report on shipment details of goods valued up to USD 25,000) shared by RBI may also be kept in view. It may also be mentioned that specified offices of Customs which receive the XOS from RBI have to share the information with other Customs locations, as may be necessary. All the location-wise cum IEC No.-wise shipping bill numbers that remain un-reconciled as on 31.1.2016 should be placed, along with a public notice dated 1.2.2016, on the website of the field formation giving a further window till 24.2.2016 to the concerned exporters to file the relevant documents. The fresh filings may also be dealt expeditiously under supervision of the said Joint/Additional Commissioner .
