DGFT Policy Circular No-29/2007 dated
06.02.2008
Clarification regarding Clubbing of Advance Authorisations under paragraph 4.20
of HBP vol.1
Attention is invited to provision related to �facility of
clubbing of advance authorizations�, as stated in paragraph 4.20 of Handbook of
Procedures, Vol. 1, wherein the facility of clubbing of advance authorizations
have been allowed subject to fulfillment of conditions stated in paragraph 4.20
to be read with sub-paragraph 4.20.1 to 4.20.5. This is to facilitate closure of
import and export account with reference to the inputs allowed for import under
the Scheme.
2. Representations have now been received from the trade and industry that some
of the Regional Authorities are not accepting the request for clubbing of
advance authorizations in case the export product is different in two or more
advance authorizations for which clubbing has been sought.
3. The matter has been considered in this office. It would be evident from
paragraph 4.20.1 that the said facility is available for clubbing of more than
one authorization provided the imported inputs are properly accounted for as per
norms. Accordingly, it is clarified that as long as imported inputs (for which
clubbing has been sought) are same, the facility of clubbing would be available
for closure of the authorisations irrespective of the fact that the export
products are different.
4. This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.(Tapan
