As an evidence of payment of the Customs Duty and interest for the shortfall in export obligation, the authorization holder is required to submit the proof of having deposited the required amount before the Customs Authority at the Port of Import. One of the documentary evidence is TR 6 Chalan duly authenticated by the Customs Authority having endorsement of Customs Duty and interest paid against a specific advance authorization Number and date.
2. Representations have been received from trade and industry that the Regional Authorities are insisting for the original copy of the TR 6 Chalan for the purpose of regularization of the case and issuance of EODC.

Once EODC is issued, a copy of the Challan may be forwarded along with the EODC to the Customs Authority at the Port of Registration with specific endorsement for cross verification at their end before allowing redemption of Bank Guarantee (BG) / Legal Undertaking (LUT) by the Customs Authority.
