The MEIS benefit is notified for ‘Bengal-gram’ under ITC (HS) code 07132000 for a period of 3 months for exports made from the date of this Public Notice. Further, the entry pertaining to HS Code 07132000 is placed at Annexure to Public Notice No.62 dated 16.02.2018 for processing of MEIS applications
In this 2nd part of the article, I bring to the kind notice of the readers that how the DGFT builds in the loopholes in the system to facilitate the unscrupulous exporters. Take the example of an Advance Authorization (AA).
Information on details of shipping bills in cases where exporters who have inadvertently ticked (for No) instead of (for Yes) in Reward column of shipping bills while filing the EDI shipping bills, but have declared the intent in the affirmative (in wordings) in the shipping bill
The DGFT started with the computerization of the DGFT network in 1995 but even after a lapse of 20 years till date they have not been able to achieve the same. The reason is simple because no bureaucrat ever wants the power to slip from their hands or the opportunity to harass the exporters.
Directives are issued to all Regional Authorities for processing the application for MEIS claim with the objective of improving ease of doing business, simplifying the procedures, increasing transparency and to cutting down delays.
Certain amendments/corrections have been made to Table 2 of Appendix 3B of FTP 2015-20 to align them with the ITC(HS) codes 2017 for exports made w.e.f. 01.01.2017.
It has come to notice of this Directorate that when exporters login into DGFT System for MEIS application, sometimes Shipping Bill data is not found available in DGFT System. It takes considerable time to get the SB data available in DGFT System and, therefore, availing of FTP benefits, like MEIS, by exporter is delayed.
A correction has been made in the MEIS Appendix 3B description in Entry no. 113. to align it with the ITC HS present at the time of the notification of Public Notice 02, dated 01.04.2015. This correction is in effect from 01.04.2015
As per FICCI Pre- Budget Memorandum 2018-2019 Few important conceptual issues below that need to be tackled on priority are Addressing tax abuse, Disallowances under section 14A, Grant of tax reliefs/concessions pursuant to proceedings under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, Reduce Compliance under GST – A way forward to simplified tax regime
While restoring the benefits under the export promotion schemes of duty free imports under Advanced Authorization, Export Promotion Capital Goods and 100% Export Oriented Units and thus resolving the problem of blocked working capital for exporters following the roll out of GST, the FTP review has focused on increasing the incentives for labour intensive MSME sectors.
