Jurisdiction of Development Commissioner, SEZ Kandla.
DGFT has issued a notification changing the jurisdiction of the Development Commissioner, Kandla SEZ. Now Kutch District of Gujarat is added to his jurisdiction. But his jurisdiction before the amendment is Units situated in Kandla and Surat SEZs and Approved EOU/SEZs located in Gujarat. Doesn’t it cover Kutch too? With the DGFT, history repeats itself and the cut & paste technology is apparently popular in DGFT too. Given below is what DDT 193 - 02 09 2005 wrote about the issue.
It was just a week ago that DGFT had notified the jurisdiction of Development Commissioners of SEZs. And there is an amendment. This amendment gives the jurisdiction of the District of Kutch in Gujarat to the DC, KASEZ. The amended jurisdiction is like this:-
1. Kutch District of Gujarat
2. Units situated in Kandla and Surat SEZs
3. Approved EOU/SEZs located in Gujarat
But is the district of Kutch of Gujarat not in Gujarat and not covered by Sl. 3 above?
Obviously nothing has changed and the mistakes are repeated.
