An irresponsive government?
A lady entrepreneur wrote to us,
Nowhere in the world has export incentives been stopped or called back for the reason that exported product been purchased from the traders. Nearly more than one and a half year has taken place after the completion of export obligation and there is no NATURAL JUSTICE in my case.
Several more exporters have been harassed like this.
Our DFIA License has been cancelled due to our failure to furnish the details of Supporting Manufacturer whereas we have already given same to the JDGFT, all three clarification letters from DGFT, Delhi have also been ignored. Our export obligation is over and against our exports we have received the consideration also.
The Regional Authorities can issue the DFIA on Post Export Basis irrespective of the exporter whether he has purchased the goods from the Dealer/trader/Other than Supporting Manufacturer and SSI details has not been submitted at the time of Application. Though the exporter has not procured the goods from the supporting manufacturer that is directly from the Mills.(This was newly announced policy in 2006) Whereas the given product is not a natural product it is understood that it is manufactured by the mills only. Moreover we a new exporter and we are trying to get clarifications with the DGFT, JDGFT and with the Commerce Ministry.
Sir, I am a lady entrepreneur doing a small scale business of exports in this very highly competitive Environment and any disturbances like this affects further development of business and extreme mental agony due to financial hardship.
Since it is more than a year is over and I have not yet been given the license and I have been made to run from pillar to post. I am still waiting to get the directions from DGFT, JDGFT, and Ministry of Commerce office.
What can we do except sympathise with the poor lady?
