FTP - Single Application for claim under MEIS for Shipments from Different EDI Ports

DGFT has amended the Handbook of Procedures of FTP 2015-20 to simplify the procedure for filing of application under MEIS Scheme for EDI Shipping Bills. Shipments from different EDI ports will not require separate applications. The ANF3A has been modified.

The amendments:

Paragraph 3.01(e): Applicant shall file separate application for each port of export in case of Non EDI Shipping bills. In case of EDI shipping bills, the applicant can file a single application containing shipping bills of different EDI ports. Accordingly, shipments from different EDI ports will not require separate applications.

Amendment in Paragraph 3.08(a) (i): Duty Credit Scrip (including splits) under MEIS shall be issued with a single port of registration which shall be any one of the EDI ports from where export is made. In case of shipments from Non EDI ports, the Duty Credit Scrip (including splits) under MEIS shall be issued with a single port of registration which shall be the port of export.

Amendment in Paragraph 3.16 (b): Port of registration for EDI enabled ports shall be any one of the ports from where export is made.
