From 1st April 2018, all the Show Cause Notices (SCNs) and the Order in Original (O-i-O) were also required to be uploaded on DIGIT.

3. On examination of data uploaded by various Customs formations on DIGIT, it is noticed that there are some discrepancies vis a vis data available in Monthly Performance Reports (MPRs) as uploaded on DDM portal, and the data available on these two platforms needs to be synchronized. Accordingly, these instructions are being issued in supersession of all the instructions issued earlier, specifying the criteria as to what all needs to be entered in DIGIT and the applicable timelines for the same.

A. Cases of Outright smuggling (imports as well as exports) covered under the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962;

B. Cases involving violation of provisions of the Customs Act, 1962 or any other law in the course of imports or exports of goods or misuse of international trade promotion schemes framed by the Central government; and

C. Cases under the provisions of Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.

An "Offence case" for the purpose of these instructions will mean a case involving two or more of the following actions:

1. Filing of DRI-1 (Recording of Information);

2. Preparation of DRI-2 (Seizure/Detection Intimation Report);

3. Arrest under the Customs Act, 1962 or other Act(s);
