DGFT issues a new module on Automatic System-Based Issuance of Status Holder Certificate (e-SHC) - (09 Oct 2023)

MANU/DGFT/0151/2023

Customs

In furtherance of the e-Governance initiatives being taken by DGFT, a new IT module to recognize and certify the export performance of individual companies has been developed. Henceforth, the Status Holder Certificate (SHC) will' be electronically generated based on export data available in DGCI and S. The individual exporters will be divided into the five Status categories based on available merchandise export figures from EDI, non EDI Ports and SEZ ports as per the eligibility criterion in Foreign Trade Policy, 2023.

There will be no requirement by the exporter to file any kind of application and the e-SHC, for a particular status category will be generated automatically by the IT system. This will eliminate the earlier process of submission of an online application with supporting export performance certificate from a Chartered Accountant and will also do away with the file examination required at the DGFT Regional Offices and use existing data elements available within the Government for export certification.

The e-SHC will be made available to the exporting entity in their registered email and the customer dashboard @ DGFT portal. As the export figures pertaining to services exports, deemed exports and double weightage exports (as admissible under para 1.27 of FTP 2023) are not being compiled by DGCI and S, there will be a few cases where this facility of automatic e-SHC cannot be extended. All such exporters who do not receive their e-SHCs within 48 hours of issue of this Trade Notice will need to make an application, for grant of Status Certificate as per the FTP, 2023 provisions in the existing IT module along with supporting CA certificate.
