REGARDING OUR CLAIM FOR DEPB, Customs - Exim - SEZ

[sanjeev jadhav]

My query is regarding claim for DEPB. Shipping bills are generated during Sept. 2006 to Jan-2007. Earlier the shipping bills generated during the above period was not reflected on the DGFT site, due to which are are unable to claim DEPB. Above all shipping bills are retransmitted / uploaded on the customs / DGFT site during May 2009. My query is, Can we claim DEPB of the above mentioned period's shipping bills ? Is our DEPB claim will be considered with in the time limit as perscribed under pare 9.3. of the FTP 2009-14. Please clarify.

You can claim DEPB for the above mentioned shipping bills and your claim will be considered with in the time limit as prescribed under para 9.3 of FTP

As per para 4.6 of Handbook of procedure, "Application for obtaining credit shall be filed within a period of twelve months from the date of exports or the date of up linking of EDI shipping bill details in the DGFT website, or within three months from the date of printing / release of shipping bill, whichever is later, in respect of shipments for which claim has been filed." Para 9.3 of handbook provide some relief and in case of delay. Therefore, I agree with Mr. Karthik Venkatasubramanian that you are eligible to file claim under para 9.3
