laxations permitted would be updated in the
ICEGATE/Customs System automatically based on a de-
fined protocol between the DGFT- NIC/Customs in this re-
gard.
(ii) Once the bulk updation and transmission of authorisations
have been done by NIC Division, NIC would send RA-wise
list of such authorisations to individual RAs with an update
script to be run on the local server (available in the Down-
loads section of the local server). All RAs are required to
run this script immediately so that any further extensions/
revalidations on the authorizations would take into account
this change in the local RA sever also.
(iii) In case of some individual cases, where the revised updated
import validity or EO extension is not available in the
ICEGATE, the exporter may approach the DGFT RA with a
e-mail/letter request for carrying out an amendment in the
AA/DFIA. DGFT RA will accordingly examine the request
expeditiously and endorse the extended validity/EO as per
the provisions of FTP/HBP and transmit the amendment
message electronically to DGFT/ICEGATE server.
(B) Extension of Import Validity period and EO period by 6 months for
AAs under HBP Para 4.41(e) and Para 4.42(h) where revalidation/EO
period extension has been granted till date :
For those AAs where 1st or the 2nd re-validation or EO extension
has been granted under the respective paras of HBP, automatic
transmission of extended dates is not possible due to system archi-
tecture issues. In such cases, the exporters shall make an amend-
ment request through e-mail/letter to the concerned Regional Au-
thority providing the details of the case. RAs, upon receiving such
requests from the exporters, shall expeditiously verify the eligibil-
ity of the request, and then carry out the amendments for Revali-
dation/EOP Extension in the local server.
(C) Extension of Validity/EO by 6 months for AAs under HBP Para
4.41(e) and Para 4.42(h) where authorizations are Physical (non-
EDI) in nature :
For such authorisations, the procedure to be adopted would be
similar to amendment requests as given in para (B) above. The au-
thorizations need to be produced physically at the concerned Re-
gional Authority with a request for extension in EO/re-validation.
The concerned RA shall examine the request and endorse the ex-
tended validity/EO based on eligibility as per provisions of
FTP/HBP.
(D) Same procedure, as given in Para A, B & C shall apply for extension
of validity of the DFIAs for import.
