Policy Circular No./b /2015--2020
Dated 09.01.2019
To,
All RAs of DGFT
All RAs are already aware that Director General of Foreign Trade, New Delhi
has developed software for EODC monitoring of Advance as well as EPCG
authorizations issued by RAs and RAs in fact have been feeding data in that
module for quite some time now. Presently the module has the following
facilities:
1. HAs can enter details of all pending Authorizations where applicant
has submitted application for grant of EODC or otherwise.
ii. Monitor RA-wise, scheme-wise details like number of cases pending
or documents not submitted, number of cases where Deficiency Letters
have been issued, number of cases where EODCs have' been granted,
number of cases where SCNs have been issued and number of cases
where Orders-in-Original have been passed under adjudication
procedure.
2. Already details of around 30,000 Advance Authorisations and 25,000
EPCG authorizations have been entered by the RAs. However, still large
numbers of cases are yet to be fed into the system. Therefore, for effective
export obligation monitoring of Advance Authorisations and EPCG
Authorisations at both RA and Hqrs level, the following Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) is prescribed:
a) All Advance Authorisations and EPCG authorisations where EODC have
not been granted shall be fed into the system. This exercise needs to be
completed by 31.1.2019 by all RAs. Data entered in this regard would
be monitored on weekly basis.
b) Where exporter has not submitted any documents for grant of EODC,
while feeding such cases, RA may use "Check this Box if no Date" option for date of submission in "Add Licence" form and there is no need
to input any date.
c) While feeding the data where exporter has not submitted documents,
preferably old cases should be fed in the fir' p ac .
d) Once an application of LODC is submitted at the Counter or a reply to a
previously issued deficiency letter in EODC matter is submitted, at the
Counter, the same needs to be fed in the system. All RAs must devise a
mechanism so that after submission of the papers at the R&l Counter, the
same should go to a designated person to feed the data and thereafter the
papers should be passed on to the section concerned for processing 0 f
EODC request. This will ensure correct feeding of data and its integrity.
e) Once any action is taken like Deficiency letter issued, FODC issued, SCN
issued, Order in Original Passed etc, same should also be updated in the
module before it is sent for dispatch.
f) There is a provision to scan and upload FODC copy. Only duly signed
copies of EODCs should be uploaded in PDF format so that Customs
authorities can refer to this site for verification and updated information
on EO DC status.
g) Age-wise analysis of all pending cases is also available in the BODC
software. Therefore, while processing the cases chronology should be
maintained.
h) In case exporter has submitted application for EODC and if data is
missing in EO DC Online system, exporter has provision to raise query.
RAs should resolve the queries by correctly reflecting the data in the
system.
i) DGFT HQs would monitor the performance of RAs in EODC matters
based on the information gathered from this software (http://eodc.online).
3. Any difficulty in complying with the above guidelines may be brought to the
notice of this Directorate.
This circular is issued with the approval of the DGFT.
