The INTEGRATED TAX amount in respect of individual exporters will be credited directly to the bank account of the exporter, in the authorized bank branch at a Custom location or to any core banking enabled banking account of the exporter, in any branch/bank anywhere in the country (through the NEFT/RTGS). For this purpose, the exporters are required to register with Customs, the Indian Financial Service Code (IFSC) of the bank branch in which exporter wishes to receive the INTERATED TAX amount, the core banking enabled account number, bank name and address, using 'Annexure-A' enclosed with Board's circular.
