This is to inform all concerned that w.e.f. 08.05.2018, Group VII has been discontinued in ICES. Bills of Entry filed before this date and pending assessment shall be available in the erstwhile group. All the new License/Scheme Bills shall be allotted to Group 1 to 6 as any other Bill of Entry depending on the classification of the item with highest assessable value. These bills of entry shall follow the First in-First out rule like the regular group Bills of Entry. 2. On the side of exports, following steps have been taken: (a) e-payment facility has been operationalized for the payment of export duty/cess. The payment can be made through ICEGATE the same way as for Import duties. (b) Bank account validation by PFMS is now mandatory for Drawback also. Unless the exporter s account is PFMS accepted, his SBs shall not be available for the final Drawback scroll. This is a step towards making Drawback payment completely electronic through PFMS like IGST Refunds and RoSL, which too shall begin soon. 3. Difficulties, if any, may be brought to the notice of this office. ( Dr. M. Subramanyam ) Commissioner
