I. Challan not available in ICEGATE for making payment of Customs Duty:

• Issue resolved. Challans will be available now.
• Please try to make the payment by selecting the recently generated Challan (interest waived challan).
• In case, the challan is not available for making the payment for a Bill of Entry, the same may be reported to the ICEGATE Helpdesk (icegatehelpdesk@icegate.gov.in), and a copy may be marked to sysmgr.maa1@icegate.gov.in for follow up.

II. Challan available in ICEGATE; Duty was also paid; but amount not integrated/reflected in ICES/ICEGATE; and the Bill of Entry is still in PCV (payment) Queue:-

• Check the status of the Bill of Entry with the officers deputed for manual OOC work.
• It should be “Yet to pay Duty (BE 1^st copy printed)

Pre-payment Customs Compliance Verified”

• Check the Challan No. and the duty amount only [interest is waived as per Customs (Waiver of Interest) Order, 2023, dated 06.04.2023].

• Obtain letter of confirmation/certificate from the Bank, confirming the payment/ receipt of the Customs duty mentioning the corresponding challan number against the particular Bill of Entry number, and submit with a simple undertaking as mentioned in Public Notice No.: 14/2023 dated 06.04.2023.
• Bill of Entry details, Challan No., and the total amount collected should match with similar details in the Bill of Entry (interest is waived as per Customs (Waiver of Interest) Order, 2023, dated 06.04.2023).
• If the details match, the clearance of the goods will be permitted by granting physical/manual OOC.
• Once the System glitch is resolved, the details of OOC will be posted in the System; ensure that the Bill of Entry is regularised (OOC granted).
