DGFT Makes Digital Filing Mandatory for Show Cause Notices, Appeals and Penalties Under Foreign Trade Act 1992
February 13, 2025
Circulars DGFT
DGFT mandates complete digitization of enforcement and adjudication processes under FTD&R Act 1992. All submissions responding to Show Cause Notices, adjudication proceedings, appeals, and reviews must be filed exclusively through the DGFT portal, eliminating paper-based submissions. Penalty payments must be processed online against specific ECA/Appeal/Review files, discontinuing miscellaneous payment options. This directive aligns with government's paperless trade initiatives and ease of doing business objectives. Non-compliance with digital submission requirements will result in submissions not being entertained. Implementation requires stakeholders to utilize ECA-related help manuals on DGFT website for compliance guidance.
