Facts-
The Petitioner has two manufacturing units at MIDC, Murbad, where the Petitioner manufactures Scaffolding steel products and Drum Closures. During the period from December 2017 to July 2019, the Petitioner exported goods manufactured by it which were notified in Appendix-3B, and the Petitioner is eligible for the benefit of Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) as per paragraph 3.03 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020.
While filling out the shipping bills online, the Petitioner erroneously clicked on the option “No” for the benefits of MEIS instead of “YES”.
