Further, it is to bring to the notice of stakeholders that those Custom Brokers and self-filers who do not file even a single bill of entry under e-SANCHIT will not be permitted to file documents on ICEGATE after March 08, 2018. 5. Step by step procedure to upload supporting documents with digital signatures at e-SANCHIT and a list of FAQs is already published at https:/www.icegate.gov.in/ eSANCHlT.htm1 on ICEGATE website. 6.
