Submission of ‘Negative Statement/certificate' for export proceeds

IT was stipulated that exporters will submit a certificate from the authorized dealer (s) or Chartered Accountant providing details of shipment which remain outstanding beyond the prescribed time-limit including the extended time, if any, allowed by the authorized dealer/RBI on a 6 monthly basis. Such certificates shall be furnished by the exporter, authorized dealer wise for each port.

This BRC Module was replaced with RBIBRC Module w.e.f. 31/03/2013. However, due to technical reasons, new RBIBRC module shall provide Forex Realization data for shipping bills with LEO dated from 01/04/2014 onwards only. Hence, monitoring of the realization proceeds in respect of shipping bills with LEO date from 01/04/2013 to 31/03/2014 is to be done under the BRC Module.

The Mumbai Air Cargo Custom Commissioner has requested all exporters to submit the details of realization received/certificates from their Authorized Dealers/Chartered Accountant for EDI shipping bills with LEO date from 01/04/2013 to 31/03/2014 immediately and not later than 27/01/2016 to the Nodal Officer. The above details shall be submitted in the prescribed format of six-monthly period (i.e.) January-June-2013, July-December-2013 and January-June 2014.

The Commissioner hereby directs the exporters/CHAs to co-operate in timely submission of these negative statements / certificates for the above mentioned period without fail.

Do you direct somebody's co-operation? 'Request' would be a better word, but the bureaucrat always considers himself as the boss and master and never a servant and the master commands and directs, but not requests - that too mere exporters and Customs Brokers!
