This instruction revises the mapping of Customs jurisdictions to Focal Customs Commissionerates (FCCs) and India Government (IG) Mints for disposal of seized/confiscated gold of 24 carat purity. Due to operational requirements of SPMCIL, seized/confiscated gold from Customs Zones in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will now be lifted and processed by IG Mint, Mumbai instead of IG Mint, Hyderabad. The updated mapping table shows the IG Mints, corresponding FCCs, and mapped Commissionerates. Kolkata IG Mint covers Customs Zones of Kolkata, Patna, and CGST Zones of Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati. Mumbai IG Mint covers Customs Zones of Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Tiruchirappalli, and CGST Zones of Thiruvananthapuram, Bhopal, Meerut, Nagpur, Pune, Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam. Other aspects of previous instructions remain unchanged.
