Import Data Processing and Monitoring System (IDPMS)
IN order to enhance ease of doing business and facilitate efficient data processing for payment of import transactions and effective monitoring thereof, Import Data Processing and Monitoring System (IDPMS) has been developed in consultation with the Customs authorities and other stakeholders.RBI has advised the banks that IDPMS will go live with effect from October 10, 2016 and are directed to use IDPMS for reporting and monitoring of the import transactions.
Customs department has modified the Bill of Entry (BoE) format to display the AD Code of bank with effect from April 1, 2016 and SEZ from June 1, 2016 respectively. Primary import transaction data (from Customs/SEZ) with effect from the above mentioned dates will be made available to respective AD banks in the IDPMS database for further processing. Starting October 10, 2016 all transactions will flow to IDPMS on daily basis for AD banks, to log all subsequent activities and monitor the import transactions.
Based on the AD code declared by the importer, the banks shall download the Bill of Entry (BoE) issued by EDI ports from "BOE Master" in IDPMS. For non-EDI ports, AD bank of the importer shall upload the BoE data in IDPMS as per message format "Manual BOE reporting" on daily basis on receipt of BoE from the customer/Customs office.
