2 Engineering Export Info-Bulletin, Vol. 9, Issue No. 29

My dear fellow exporters,

The efforts of the Council over the last two months to convince the Government about the lossesfaced by our members as a consequence of 12% Rupee appreciation in the last couple of monthshas finally resulted in positive action. On July 12, 2007, the Government announced a set of measuresthat included the increase in DEPB Rates by 3% for engineering products, enhancement of DutyDrawback rates, lowering of interest cost on packing credit by 2%, reduction by 10% on ECGCpremium as well as reimbursement of terminal excise duty at the earliest.

In its reaction, the Council has stated that the above measures are, indeed, welcome and will partiallyoffset the tough conditions that are faced by the exporting community. We have also stated that theelement of uncertainty still remains since the steps announced are only upto end of December 2007and it is quite possible that from October 2007 onwards, exporters will, once again, desist from bookingnew contracts if the exchange rate continues to hover around the Rs. 40 to a dollar mark. Thus, theGovernment should extend the benefits for the full fiscal year so that the export target set by theCommerce & Industry Minister can be met in the current year. Moreover, the DEPB Rates could haveincreased by about 5% across the board.

The Council has also expressed its disappointment that the Government is yet to notify the ServiceTax Notification on services for post-production of goods as this was promised by the Commerce &Industry Minister Shri Kamal Nath nearly three months ago. In an interactive session with the CommerceSecretary on CNBC TV, the Commerce Secretary, Shri G. K. Pillai accepted that the above concessionswere partial in nature and the Government will shortly come out with the Service Tax ExemptionNotification. Further, while the cost of export credit is an important issue for the SME engineeringexporters, access to credit is an equally important factor. The commercial banks lend aroundRs. 97,000 crore in a year to the commercial sector and the Council has stressed that the RBI mustmandate the banks that 8% of this amount should be directed to meet the export credit needs of theSME exporters.

The Council has also opined that under current conditions a 15% growth in engineering exports isfeasible provided the exchange rate is around Rs. 42 to a dollar. This implies that the engineeringexports would touch around USD 30 billion this year. We would, however, like to stress that thesituation is still fluid and I shall be happy if could continue to keep the Council informed of the challengesand problems faced by you in the process of exporting your products abroad. The Council is alsotaking up various banking and financial sector related problems in the RBI’s External Group on ExportCredit for SME sector where we have suggested a detailed appraisal of the export credit needs of theSME sector. This apart, the Council has also been invited by the Department of Science and Technology,Government of India to do a study on the potential of Consultancy Services exports from India tosome African and Latin American countries. We will get in touch with the concerned member companiesover the next couple of days to the relevant member companies to elicit their responses to theQuestionnaire that the Department has requested to circulate.

Yours sincerely,

(RAKESH SHAH)

EEPC Invites Participation at Multi-Product Delegation to Thailand,Philippines and Malaysia

(September 16 - 22, 2007)

The Council is pleased to inform that a Multi-Product Trade Delegation will be visiting Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia

during 16th to 22nd September, 2007.

India’s trade with the ASEAN dates back to time immemorial. The Indo-ASEAN trade accounts for about 18% of India’s

total trade in the last three years. The bilateral trade between India and ASEAN countries has grown by 9 times in 2006

since 1993-’94. ASEAN is the fifth most important market in the world in terms of Indian exports. Among the ASEAN

countries, the share of Indian exports to Malaysia was 11.16%, Thailand accounted for about 10.32% and Philippines with

4.76% in 2005-’06, projected a promising future scenario.

The engineering exports to ASEAN countries have touched the US$2477.99 million in 2005-’06. The total export to ASEAN

from April 2005–January 2006 accounted to about US$1687.12 million and that from April 2006–January 2007 to about

US$2212.34 million.

Malaysia

Malaysia has emerged as a multi-sector economy and is the 10th largest investor in India with an investment of US$76 million.

India’s exports in the engineering sector were US$330.69 million (2005-’06), which has almost doubled since 2003-’04.

Thus, projecting a growth of about 96.16%. The exports for the period April–January (2006-2007) was US$290.43 million.

Philippines

The bilateral trade between India and Philippines has also almost doubled since early 2000 and has reached US$577.08

million (2004-’05). Indian exports recorded a rise of 67.76% in 2005-’06. The figures for the period April–January (2006-’07)

show an accumulated export of US$157.19 million.

Thailand

Indo-Thailand relations have improved appreciably over the past few years. Trade between India and Thailand has grown

significantly since 2003-’04 from US$251.60 million to US$318.99 million in 2005-’06, which suggests a growth of 26.78%

in just 3 years time. A glimpse at the April–January (2006-’07) with total engineering exports of US$318.04 million clearly

express the potential in store.

Bilateral business discussion between India & Mexico

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and President Calderón met in Germany on the sidelines of the G-8 and G-5 Meet.

During the meeting, President Calderón underlined the fact that India is one of his Government’s priorities in the Asian-

Pacific Rim. Both leaders hailed the advances achieved in recent years regarding the expansion of the legal framework,

particularly the signing of the Agreement for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments. President Calderón

expressed his desire to see the signing of other agreements concerning double taxation, mutual legal assistance, Customs

cooperation and air transport.

President Calderón pointed out that the recent signing of the memorandum of understanding for the establishment of

a top-level economic cooperation group will permit the analysis and proposal of strategies to reinforce trade and investment

strategies to enable them to achieve their full potential. To this end, he stressed the importance of increasingly involving

the private sectors of both countries in the task of economic promotion. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh invited

President Calderón to make an official visit to India. President Calderón expressed his gratitude for this invitation, adding

that he hoped that his visit would take place this year, pending authorization from the Mexican Congress.

US$85 million over five years. In beginning of March, Japanese truck maker Nissan Diesel accepted a billion dollar buyout

from Volvo, which was its largest shareholder.

F. No. 401/229/2006-Cus.IIIGovernment of IndiaMinistry of Finance


New Delhi

Circular No. 24/2007-CustomsDated 2nd July, 2007

Delay in Payment of Customs Duty Refunds - reg.

I am directed to state that various representations from importers, exporters, trade and industry associations have been

received in the Board regarding delay in payment of Customs Duty refunds and the hardships faced in obtaining refunds

from Customs field formations. Further, in a number of cases it has also come to the notice that the Courts and higher

judicial authorities have taken adverse note of the delay caused in refund of duty.

2. Refund of Customs Duty involves acknowledgement and processing of refund application for sanction or rejection of

refund in terms of Section 27 of the Customs Act, 1962 and the Customs Refund Application (Form) Regulations, 1985.

Further, Board have also issued instructions from time to time clarifying the doubts raised by field formations in dealing

with the refund claims. (Board’s circular No. 59/95-Cus dated 5.6.1995). Needless to say that if these procedures are

followed properly, normally refund applications should be disposed off within the interest free time limit of three months.

3. However, it is noticed that the aspect of timely refund of Customs Duty has not been given due importance by the

field formations. Therefore, Board desires that in order to ensure expeditious disposal of Customs Duty refund

applications and to enhance transparency in refund disbursement as well as bring alertness among the officers, the

following procedure should be followed :

4.1. System for receipt and acknowledgement of all Customs Duty refund applications : All refund applications

made by any person under Section 27 of the Customs Act, whether by post or courier or personal delivery, shall

be received by the department and a simple receipt, for having received the application that is said to have been

filed as ‘refund application’ shall be issued immediately. At this stage the receipt should make it clear that the

application has not been scrutinized for its completeness. These applications are required to be scrutinized for

their completeness within ten working days of their receipt, for giving acknowledgement by the proper officer as

per the Customs Refund Application (Form) Regulations, 1995. Hence, if any deficiency is found in the application

or any document is required by the department, the same shall be informed at this stage of initial scrutiny itself

within ten working days of the initial receipt. This will avoid any chance for raising repeated queries to the applicant,

in a piece-meal manner and bring certainty in dealing with refund applications.

4.2. Processing of refund applications and their disposal : Application of refund found to be complete in all respects

by Customs, after scrutiny as above, shall be processed on ‘first-come-first served’ basis so as to decide whether

the whole or any part of the duty and interest paid by the applicant is refundable. If refund is due in such case,

an order for refund is required to be passed in terms of Sub-Section (2) to Section 27 or where the claim for

refund is found liable to be rejected, as the case may be, a speaking order shall be passed giving complete

reasons for the order. Further, in respect of the provisions of unjust enrichment, the order should indicate that

this aspect has been examined based on the guidelines, if any, applicable; the order should also contain the findings

of adjudicating authority on the documents produced in support of the claim and the basis for determining the

amount as either refundable to the claimant or payable to the Consumer Welfare Fund or the claim not being

admissible.



4.3. Issue of Cheque : Where the refund application has been admitted, whether in part or in full, and claimant is

eligible for refund, the Deputy/Assistant Commissioner of Customs may ensure that payment is made to the party

within 3 days of the order passed after due audit, if any. In all such cases refund of amount shall be paid to

the applicant by a cheque on the authorised bank with which the sanctioning authority maintains account. After

the cheque has been signed, it shall either be delivered to the claimant or his authorised representative personally

when he next calls for it or sent to him by Registered Post ‘Acknowledgement Due’ at Government cost, on the

basis of pre-receipt already obtained from the claimant.

4.4. Audit system : Existing instructions on audit scrutiny of refunds shall continue. Accordingly, all applications

involving a refund of duty and/or interest of Rs. 5 lakhs or more shall be subjected to pre-audit as per the existing

practice. The applications of refund of amount below Rs. 50,000/- may be post-audited on the basis of the random

selection by Deputy/Assistant Commissioner (Audit). The selection can be made in such a way that 25 per cent

of the refund applications are post-audited. The applications of refund for amount between Rs. 50,000/- and Rs.

5 lakhs should be compulsorily post audited. This audit system has been prescribed with a view to check improper

sanction and payment of refunds. However, this does not dispense with the verification of the refund vouchers

and the re-conciliation of refunds, which shall continue to be done by the Chief Account Officers. However, it

may be ensured that where pre-audit is involved the action is completed at the earliest so that the disposal of

refund applications is not unduly delayed.

5. CVC’s instructions : Your attention is also invited to the instructions issued by the Central Vigilance Commission

(CVC) under Section 8(1)(h) of the CVC Act, 2003 to bring about greater transparency and accountability in the

discharge of regulatory, enforcement and other public dealings of the Government organisations vide their Circular

No.40/11/06 dated 22.11.2006. (Refer CVC website http://www.cvc.nic.in under ‘Improving Vigilance administration

by leveraging technology). These instructions, interalia, require that status of individual applications/matters should

be made available on the organisation’s website and should be updated from time to time so that the applicants

remain duly informed about the status of their applications. It is further stated that the manual records maintained

presently for various purposes may continue.

6.1. System of maintaining online database on Customs Duty refunds : In pursuance of the instructions of CVC,

all Commissioners of Customs shall establish a mechanism for maintenance of a comprehensive database in

their respective website, indicating the receipt, acknowledgement, action taken for disposal (either payment or

rejection) of refund applications and those pending at the end of the month. This shall be implemented with in

a period of three months time and a report of the same may be sent to the Board and DG (Inspection).

The details of refund application such as name of the claimant, file number, date of application, amount of refund

claimed, date of its acknowledgement shall be indicated in chronological order by the date of its receipt. The

applications may be serially numbered for each year and shall be shown in a single list indicating their respective

status distinctly. The illustrative status that could be mentioned for easy understanding of any applicant may include

the following : (i) refund application received but pending for scrutiny and acknowledgement (ii)(a) refund application

acknowledged for its completeness (ii)(b) refund application found incomplete and returned for rectification of

deficiency (iii)(a) refund application rejected by passing a speaking order (iii)(b) refund application sanctioned,

pending verification by audit (iv) cheques issued for refunds sanctioned and paid to applicant/credited to consumer

welfare fund. This is not exhaustive and if any other stage of processing of refund application is involved the

same may be indicated. An abstract at the end of the month about the total number of refund applications received,

acknowledged, disposed and pending may also be indicated.



This online data base would enable any person who had applied for refund with Customs, to check the status

of his refund application by reference to the date of his refund application having been received by Customs.

This data will be accessible to the trade and public as well as by all Customs officers to enhance transparency.

Further, the status of individual applications for refund of Customs Duty shall be updated from time to time, at

least daily, so that the applicants remain duly informed about the status of their applications. The data may be

allowed for display in the website for three months period from the date of its final disposal and there after it

can be moved to the history data base.

7.1. Monitoring Mechanism : Chief Commissioners/Directorate General of Inspection (DGI) is requested to review

the position of refunds in their respective zones/select zones, to check on the timely sanction of refund applications.

If any refund application is pending for long period, the reasons for the same may be identified by the concerned

Chief Commissioner and action initiated for their disposal by reference to the concerned Commissionerate. DGI

may also access the data base of such refund applications and maintain the data in respect of those refund

applications pending for long period and action taken thereon, for reporting to the Board.

8. The above instructions are being issued so that an administrative arrangement is made on a permanent basis

to deal with refund of Customs Duty, an important aspect of tax administration which needs to be given due

importance in view of the prompt disposal as per legal provisions and their revenue implications. Accordingly, the

Commissioners of Customs and Chief Commissioners of Customs concerned may ensure for proper implementation

of these instructions of the Board.

9. A suitable Public Notice and Standing Order may be issued for the guidance of the trade and staff. Difficulties

faced, if any, in implementation of the Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board at an early date.
