CBIC introduced automated processing of customs duty refund applications through ICEGATE Portal, replacing manual procedures effective March 31, 2025. Key changes include electronic filing under Customs Refunds Application Regulations 1995, elimination of concurrent audit requirements, and direct bank credit through PFMS. Applications receive Unique ARN, deficiency notifications within 10 days, and electronic communication of orders. System features include pre-filled forms post reassessment, dashboard status tracking, and MIS reporting. Manual applications permitted until March 31, 2025, with exceptions requiring Commissioner approval. Implementation aligns with broader customs digitization goals targeting mid-2026 completion, aimed at reducing cross-border trading costs and enhancing procedural efficiency.
