Circular No.569/6/2001-CX I am directed to say that consequent to deletion of clause (iv) of sub-rule (1) of rule 173G, doubts have been expressed whether the Pass-Out System specified by the Board in Circular No. 270/104/96-CX dated 18.11.1996 is necessary considering that now duty can be discharged on fortnightly basis. If it is necessary, whether the said procedure could be followed within the scope of new rule 173G(1).
SEBI have received representations from the stock exchanging requesting that the non cash component of the deposit may be accepted in the form of Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) also. SEBI has considered the representation.
I am directed to invite your attention to Board’s Circular F.No.512/91/93-CUS.VI, dated 18th May 1994 regarding the duty payable on excisable goods cleared from 100% Export Oriented Units/ Units in the Export Processing Zone into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). A copy of the Circular is enclosed for ready reference. Subsequently, another Circular was issued vide F.No.345/12/99-TRU, dated 24-9-1999 (copy enclosed), suggesting a method for computing excise duty payable on the DTA clearances of EOU/EPZ units. As the instructions contained in the two Circulars referred to above were not in harmony with each other, a doubt has been raised as to the correct method of calculation of duty for such DTA clearances of EOUs/EPZ units.
During deliberations in the DEPB Committee, it was noticed that certain field formations are assessing DEPB shipping bills for certain products which are not squarely covered under the relevant DEPB rate entries, and are assessing such shipping bills by splitting the FOB value into two or more elements by costing method or otherwise, and granting DEPB credit in regard to the value of that element which gets covered by the DEPB rate entry.
Circular No.568/5/2001-CX Rule 2, which provide for definitions, has been amended to insert clauses (1a) and (1b) to define the expressions “appointed day” and “appointed time”. The objective of this amendment is to make the other rules simple to read. By defining “appointed time”, there will not be any need for amending rules in case Government decided to change the time of presenting the Budget. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs communicates the appointed day (Budget Day)

The labelling requirements, as mentioned in para 4 of the Notification, shall be applicable only on imports of those pre-packaged commodities, which are intended for retail sale. Since import of raw materials, components, bulk imports etc., would invariably undergo further processing or assembly before they are sold to consumers, these imports shall not invite the application of labelling requirements as per para 4 of the Notification.
