Export Promotion Councils can forward data related to 60-65% of total exports under a particular DEPB entry and also they should get themselves satisfied that the data forwarded is representative. Some Export Promotion Councils have also requested to reduce the number of copies of data sheet to be submitted to this office. Accordingly, it has been decided to reduce the number of copies of data sheets to be submitted to 10. In the instructions for filing data sheet at point (a) the word "Appendix I-A" is corrected to read as "Appendix 2". This issues with the approval of Director General of Foreign Trade.
