In this regard, it is to bring to your notice that MOT has issued Notification No. 12020/3/2016-IT (Pt) dated 31.07.2017 restoring the pre-GST ROSL rates that were revised downwards w.e.f 01.07.2017.

These ROSL rates can be claimed on the basis of revised undertaking to be provided by exporter in terms of aforesaid Notification. 3. For all exports with let export order dates on or after 01.07.2017 for which ROSL is claimed, exporter has to submit the undertaking in the revised format that has been suitably included in the EDI shipping bill w.e.f. 05.08.2017. Considering that exports have already been made in period 01.07.2017 to 04.08.2017, for which the revised undertaking is not possible to be furnished electronically along with the shipping bills already filed, exporters need to submit an undertaking to the Customs in the manual format as annexed to this Circular. This could be a single undertaking covering export products in the various shipping bills of the exporter- The revised undertaking shall be irrespective of declaration/undertaking, if any, given earlier. 4. In terms of discussions held in MOT, Export Promotion Councils shall assist exporters to file such undertaking. The officer/s sanctioning the ROSL should ensure that the amount is paid upon such undertaking being submitted by an exporter. The exporters may also be suitably advised by the Customs to file their undertaking at the earliest for this period. 5. It may be noted that the rates of ROSL as notified by MOT shall be applied by EDI System at the time of scroll generation for RoSL. Thus irrespective of the ROSL amount appearing in Shipping Bills, exporter will be eligible for ROSL amount as per rates notified by MOT. No separate claim is required to be filed by the exporter. 6. Difficulties, in the implementation of this Public Notice may be brought to the knowledge of this office. (PARAG CHAKO BORKAR) COMMISSIONER
