Representations have been received in this office that some of the RLAs are allowing coal only with Actual User condition under DFRC scheme even if the same is available in SION, on the ground that coal is a fuel, which can be allowed with the condition as per paragraph 4.2.3. of the F.T.P.(2004-09), stated above. The mater was discussed in the ALC meeting in consultation with the Policy Division and it has been decided to clarify that wherever coal has been allowed as one of the inputs in SION i.e. when its consumption is directly related to the manufacturing of the export product and not for generation of power, it should be treated at par with other inputs which are transferable under DFRC.
Whereas on the basis of the aforesaid findings of the designated authority, the Central Government had imposed provisional anti-dumping duty on the subject goods vide notification of the Government of India in the erstwhile Ministry of Finance and Company Affairs (Department of Revenue), No. 143/2002-CUSTOMS, dated the 27th December, 2002, G.S.R. 844 (E), dated the 27th December, 2002.
