The Director General of Foreign Trade has amended paragraph 2 (b)(i) of the Guidelines for Applicants under ANF-4F of the Handbook of Procedures 2015-2020.

The guidelines' paragraph 2(b)(i) addresses deemed exports.

The DGFT notified that a copy of the invoice or a statement of invoices signed by the receiving unit certifying the item of supply, its amount, value, and date of supply. However, a project authority certificate (PAC) verifying the amount, value, and date of delivery would be acceptable in lieu of the excise/GST certification.

"However, in respect of supplies to EOU/EHTP/STP/BTP, a copy of CT-3/ARE-3 duly signed by the jurisdictional excise/GST authorities certifying the item of supply, its quantity, value and date of such supply can be furnished in lieu of the excise/GST attested invoice (s) or statement of invoices. However, in the case of supply of the product by the intermediate supplier to the port directly for export by the ultimate exporter (holder of Advance Authorisation or DFIA) in terms of paragraph 4.30 of HBP, a copy of the shipping bill with the name of the domestic supplier as an intermediate supplier endorsed on it along with the file number/authorisation number of the ultimate exporter and the intermediate supplier shall be required to be furnished," the DGFT said.
