Extension of warehousing period - Cases where applications received late F. No. 473/180/88-Cus. VII Dated 11-7-1988 Government of India Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) New Delhi Subject : Extension of warehousing period - Cases where applications received late Several cases have come to the notice of the Board wherein companies have requested for extensions/further extensions of warehousing period many months after the expiry of the original or the extended warehousing period. The PAC in therein 124th report received recently have also commented adversely on the manner in which extensions requests are received and considered by the Department. Board feels that extension requests should be entertained with circumspection. Apart from considering them only in very genuine and unavoidable circumstances. We must inter alia insist that these are received by the Department sufficiently before the expiry of the warehousing period/other previous extension granted if any, failing which these would be liable for straight away rejection. The concerned trade interests may please be informed suitably. Vintage Classic Car Club of India REGISTERED A.D. 2nd May, 1988. The Chairman Central Board of Excise Customs, NEW DELHI-110 001 Dear Sir, Subject : Under Section. "It is notified for information of Trade that it has been decided vide Export (Control) Seventh Amendment Order 1972 published in the Gazette of India, Extra-Ordinary dated the 6th June, 1972 to Ban with immediate effect the Export of Vintage Cars i.e. Motor cars of 1940 and earlier models as well as parts and components thereof." No. 13-ETC (PN)/72, dated 6th June, 1972. The Export of any car built before 1940 is totally prohibited. We at the club see that from time to time cars are clandestinely exported and in other cases are also exported by misrepresenting the year of origin. The Club's sole purpose is to promote the reservation, use and display of the Vintage and Classic Cars in India and as a result, we are extremely worried about this continuous erosion of a national treasure. If any question arises of clarifying a car to decide whether it falls within the period covered by the ban or otherwise, the Club offers its services to the authorities to advise them. Please feel free to call up on us and we shall advise you to the best of our ability. Most of the cars go out via the Nepal border small parts like Bhavnagar, Daman etc. We are willing to assist you in identifying of the cars any time, any place you want. Hoping to hear from. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Sd/- NITIN DOSSA Nanabhi Mansion , Sir P.M. Road , Non. Secretary. Fort, Bombay-400 001. F.No. 479/18/88-Cus.
