No registration certificate required after export obligation is fulfilled – DGFT
The DGFT has received representations from exporting community pointing out that some Regional Authorities are insisting for submission of SSI/Central Excise Registration Certificates of supporting manufacturers / jobbers at the time of redemption/issue of EODC in respect of DFIAs, even in cases where the export obligation has already been fulfilled.
Once the export obligation is fulfilled, isn’t it simple logic that no further documents are required? But government does not run on logic. Now the DGFT has clarified that in cases where the exporter seeks redemption and transferability of DFIA on completion of stipulated E.O. (post export DFIA), documentary evidences such as SSI / Central Excise Registration of supporting manufacturer / jobber may not be insisted upon.
