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.

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. 7. Difficulty faced in this regard, if any, may be brought to the notice of this- office. (K.V.V.G. DIWAKAR) COMMISSIONER
