The new IT System amongst other improvements include process for managing the entire lifecycle of Advance Authorizations including its issuance, amendment and closure.

2. In this regard it is hereby informed that Authorisation Holders are required to make online submissions for fulfilment of Export Obligation to the DGFT Regional Authority(RA) as per Para 4.46 of Hand Book of Procedures 2015-20. The given facility may be utilized for Redemption, Surrender, Duty Paid Regularization, Bond Waiver or the Clubbing of Advance Authorizations. Authorization Holder can utilize the given facility by navigating online to DGFT Website > Services > Advance Authorization/DFIA > Closure of Advance Authorization.

3. The related documents shall be available for the perusal of the concerned applicant exporter under the DGFT Website > My Dashboard > Repositories > Bills Repositories. The EDI Shipping Bills/Bill of Entries are electronically and automatically fetched from the DGFT-Customs Electronic interface. e-BRCs as uploaded by the banks are also automatically available under the Bills Repositories.

4. The other related documents such as Non-EDI Shipping Bills, Non-EDI Bill of Entries, GST invoices, CA/CE/CS Certificates, TR Challans, BG/LUT which are not automatically available required to be uploaded by the applicants to their respective online repositories prior to preparing the online closure application.

However, the Authorisation Holder has option to upload the CA/CE/CS Certificate directly to the specific Repository.

6. The Authorization holder may create a licence closure application by linking to the documents as already added to the Repositories. While the Shipping Bills/Bill of Entries would be automatically linked to the closure application, the other details as required, may be added to complete the application prior to submission. In case complete details of Shipping Bills/Bill of Entries are not visible in the application, applicant may navigate online to DGFT Website > My Dashboard > Repositories > Bills Repositories > Select type of bill and proceed with following actions:

i. add non-EDI shipping bills manually using "Add Non-EDI Shipping Bills" tab

ii. Wherever required, the applicant may search the EDI shipping bill in repository and update the export serial number under part E section in respective Shipping Bill to ensure that the Advance Authorization export item(s) to the shipping bill item(s) linkage is correlated correctly

iv. add non-EDI Bill of Entries manually using "Add Details" tab

v. Wherever required, the applicant may search the EDI Bill of Entry in repository and update the serial number in the respective Bill of Entry to ensure that the Advance Authorization input item(s) to the Bill of Entry item(s) linkage is correlated correctly
