5.11 Realization of Export proceeds

Export proceeds shall be realized in freely convertible currency except for deemed exports supplies under Chapter 7. Exports to SEZ units /Supplies to developers/ co-developers irrespective of currency of realization would also be counted for discharge of Export Obligation. Realization in case of supplies to SEZ units shall be from foreign currency account of the SEZ unit.

Yes, you can claim benefit of EPCG. No need of notification because supply to SEZ is export/zero-rated supply.
