(ii) The TRAs issued by the non-EDI locations and non centralized locations will be registered in the same manner as license registration. On registration of TRA against a DEPB, the system will generate a TRA registration number. This Registration Number should be endorsed on the Importer's copy of TRA (original) and the Customs copy received from the issuing Customs station. Only fresh RAs will be registered in the EDI System. Partially utilized RAs will continue to be handled manually. Following particulars shall be entered in the System through the menu relating to transfer release advice.

(iii) For indicating the option of payment of Additional Duty (equal to Excise Duty) or claiming exemption there from, the option shall be exercised by indicating 'Y' or 'N' in column 2 of Sl.No.39E. The column number 5 (serial number of item in the licence list) and 7 (quantity for licence debit) are not required to be filled in for DEPB Bs/E. (iv) If the basic Customs duty and the additional Customs duty debit able to the licence is zero, the DEPB exemption will not be admissible to that item. System will not allow exemption under Notification 034/97 etc. for that item. 11.7 Check List of B/E After data entry, checklist will be printed as usual and given to the importers/CHAs for verifying the correctness of data captured. For identification against the respective item, '(DEPB)' and Notification 034/97 will appear.

The importers/CHAs should check the detail ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... r for duty credit amount and export FOB. Where the exemption from both the basic Customs duty as specified in the First Schedule to Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and additional duty leviable under Section 3 of Customs Tariff Act, 1975 are claimed, the sum of basic duty and additional duty amount will be debited to the duty credit in DEPB. The CIF of the related items will be debited to export FOB in the DEPB. Where exemption from additional duty is not claimed, only basic duty will be debited. These debits will be made by the System in the DEPB Ledger. If more than one DEPB is utilized against an item only CIF amount to be debited against each DEPB should be indicated by the importers. The duty amount will be proportionately calculated by the System for debit in the DEPB. The importers therefore should ensure that sufficient balance in the duty credit amount and export FOB is available in the DEPB to cover amounts of both components, for debiting, failing which the system will not accept the declaration for B/E. In case the importer desires to utilize the DEPB for part of the quantity of an item in the invoice, he may split the quantity of that item and prepare the declaration according .....

To avoid any inconsistency and invalidity, the system will sum the value of all items and compare with the face value of the licence. If the sum is greater than face value of licence, the system will not permit registration. The value will always be CIF for imports and FOB in respect of exports. Where the value is in foreign currency it should be only one currency and not in multi-currency. The licence holders therefore, should check these details in their licences and ensure that the same are corrected before presenting the licence for registration. The licences with incorrect details will be rejected by the system and cannot be used for availing exemption from duty and clearance of goods. Such licences should be corrected from concerned DGFT office before presenting to Customs.

If the amount of value and quantity sought to be reduced is less than the unutilized balance available in the licence amendments for reduction of value and quantity will not be permitted by the system. The system will give credit to quantity or value in the case of increase and will debit the quantity or value in the case of reduction. Therefore, only incremental or decremental quantity or value should be entered in respect of increase or reduction. Licence status code at the time of registration will be '0'. The licence if suspended or cancelled after registration, the officer shall amend the status code to '2', '3' and '4' for cancellation, suspension and reinstatement respectively. 12.9 Filing of Bill of Entry (i) Licence Regn.
