Phasing out of physical copies of MEIS/SEIS Scrips - CBEC's Customs Manual 2023 - Customs

11. Phasing out of physical copies of MEIS/SEIS Scrips 11.1 DGFT phased out physical copies of MEIS and SEIS Duty Credit Scrips issued with EDI port as port of registration to enhance the ease of doing business for exporters. DGFT has issued Public Notice No. 84/2015-2020 dated 03.04.2019 and Trade Notice No. 03/2015-2020 dated 03.04.2019 notifying this change. This shall come into effect for MEIS/SEIS duty credit scrips issued by DGFT from 10.04.2019 onwards for cases where the port of registration is an EDI port. No TRA shall be issued in respect of these paperless scrips issued electronically by DGFT. Consequently, such paperless scrips issued for EDI ports cannot be used for making imports at non-EDI ports. DGFT shall continue to issue scrips in physical form on security paper as per current practice for non-EDI ports. The facility of TRA would be available for such physical scrips for making imports at other EDI/non-EDI ports. [Refer Circular No. 11/2019 dated.09.04.2019]
