CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Origin and Development of the Legislation

1. Origin: Import Trade Control was first introduced in India as a War-time measure in the early stages of the Second World War. A notifica- tion to this effect was issued on May 20, 1940, in exercise of the powers conferred by the Defence of India Rules. The primary object of this measure was to conserve foreign exchange resources for the successful pro- secution of War and to make the best possible use of the limited shipping space available. To begin with, the import of only 68 commodities, mainly consumer goods, was subjected to control. Subsequently, with the growth of exchange difficulties, it became necessary to extend the control to other commodities as well. On December 31, 1940, unmanufactured and semi- manufactured steel was brought under Control. On February 15, 1941, the

import of machine tools was controlled. On August 23, 1941, most of the remaining commodities, particularly capital goods and other goods required for industrial purposes, were brought within the ambit of Control. In January, 1942, the remaining few items were also subjected to control, thus covering the whole field of imported articles under the system of control. On July 1, 1943, a consolidated notification was issued pertaining to all the controlled items, except machine tools.

2. Development Legislation : After the end of the War and the lapse of the Defence of India Rules in September, 1946, Import Trade Control was kept alive by the Emergency Provisions (Continuance) Ordinance, 1946. This was replaced by the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 (18 of 1947), which came into force on the 25th day of March 1947. The Act was initially valid, for a period of three years. Thereafter, it was extended by two successive terms of five years each and one term of six years up to March 31, 1966. It has been further extended by five years up to March 31, 1971, Under this Act, the Central Government issued several notifications which were replaced by a consolidated Order called the Imports (Control) Order No. 17/55 dated December 7, 1955. This Order, as amended from time to time, continues to be in force. The Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947, and the Imports (Control) Order 1955, as amended, are reproduced in Appendices (1) and (2) to this book.

3. Items under Control: At present, the Import Control covers practically all articles. Such articles are included in Schedule I to the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, and their import is prohibited except under and in accordance with a licence or a customs clearance permit issued under the said Order, or an Open General Licence issued by the Central Govern- ment, or if they are covered by any of the 'Savings' mentioned in Clause 11 of the aforesaid Order. Import of gold, silver, currency notes, bank notes and coins is controlled by the Reserve Bank of India under the Foreign Exchange Regulations Act.

Income-lax verification

13. (1) Subject to the exceptions made in these provisions, all applicants for import licences are required to obtain Income-tax Verification Certificate/Registration/Exemption Number from the ap- propriate licensing authority, and to quote that number in their applications for licences.

(2) Where the import of any goods has been canalised through a recognised agency and the actual users or others are required to obtain allotments of imported goods through such an agency, the applications for such allotments should also be supported by valid I.V.C. Registration/Exemption Number.

(6) Interim relief: In the absence of a valid I.V.C. Registration/ Exemption Number, where required, the applicant will be given a specified time to produce it, failing which the application will be lia- able for rejection. Applicants should, therefore, take steps to obtain their I.V.C. Registration/Exemption Numbers in good time so as to be able to quote the same in their applications for licences. However, In cases of genuine difficulty, the licensing authority may dispose of the application for licence from an actual user or established im- porter or registered exporter, in anticipation of the production of valid I.V.C. Registration/Exemption Number, and issue the licence, if otherwise admissible, advising the applicant to produce the re- quired number before the end of the relevant licensing period or within such time as may be specified. This facility will not, how- ever, be available to an applicant in two successive licensing periods.

Classification of stores

14. The Schedule I to the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, repro- duced in Appendix (2) to this book, commonly known as the I.T.C. Schedule, contains the classification of all the articles that enter into the import trade. The Schedule is divided into six parts and. broadly covers the following classes of goods: —

Part I.—Iron and Steel and non-ferrous metals and manufac- tures thereof.

Part II— (i) Metals and manufactures thereof, other than those cover- ed by parts I, IV, V and VI of the I.T.C. Schedule, (ii) Machinery, spares and mill stores required for certain Industries like jute, tea, iron and steel, electric supply undertakings, mines and quarries.

(iii) Engineering stores, such as ball bearings, small hand tools, precision and measuring tools, abrasives and belting, (iv) Certain types of electrical instruments, apparatus and appli- ances, electric control and transmission gear, electric fans and earthenware/porcelain used in electrical items and installations. (v) Transport materials. Part III.— (i) Certain chemicals and auxiliaries used in the textile indus- try other than jute and hemp,

(ii) Coal tar dyes and derivatives, (iii) Raw cotton. (Iv) Textile machinery and parts and mills stores for the textile industries other than jute and hemp.

Part IV.—Consumer goods. Part V.—Industrial requirements such as certain classes of machinery, chemicals, manures, paints, and colours and

printers materials, printing and lithographic materials, agricultural implements and instruments and apparatus and appliances, plastic materials and manufactures.

Part VI.—Machine tools.

Co-relation between I.T.C. and I.C.T. classification

15. An attempt has been made to co-relate, as far as possible, the I.T.C. Schedule (except Part VI) with the Indian Customs Tariff. A constant review is undertaken to ensure that whenever there are changes In the I.T.C. or I.C.T. classifications, such changes are co- related.

Correct classification to be ascertained before making any application for licence

16. (1) An intending importer should ascertain the correct I.T.C. classification of the goods he intends to import (with reference to serial or sub-serial number and part of the I.T.C. Schedule) so that he may be able to apply to the proper licensing authority for a licence and to know exactly the licensing policy in respect of the articles for which he is applying. If an article is incorrectly classified by an importer, there is a possibility of the application for licence be- ing diverted to a wrong licensing authority or of its being rejected. The importers should, therefore, in their own interest, make sure of the correct classification of the articles for which they are applying.

(2) An importer should also give the fullest description of the articles applied for so that any mistakes in the I.T.C. classification can be corrected while issuing a licence. Moreover, if an article if correctly described in the import licence, even if the I.T:C. classifi- cation shown against that item is not correct, the importer is not likely to experience difficulty in the clearance of goods on arrival. Procedure for ascertaining correct classification

17. (1) An exhaustive alphabetical index of articles is attached to Import Trade Control Policy Book issued from time to time; and this will enable the importer to ascertain the correct I.T.C. classifi- cation of any particular article. If an importer is in doubt in regard to the correct classification of any article, he should make a refernce to the appropriate regional licensing authority for clarification and advice in the first instance. To enable such authority to take a cor- rect view in the matter, the importer should give the fullest descrip- tion of the article in question, its end-use and the purpose of enquiry. He should also send illustrative literature, about that article and the sample thereof wherever possible. If the tariff item under which the article is assessed to duty by the Customs is known, it should also be indicated. The I.T.C. authorities will attend to such enquiries on an urgent basis.

(2) Where the regional licensing authority is not in a position te determine the correct I.T.C. classification of an article or where there is a difference between one regional authority and the other in re- gard to such classification, the matter is referred to the Chief Con- troller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi. Such references are re- solved by a Committee in the Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi, where the Directorate General of

Technical Development and the Central Board of Excise and Cus- toms are also represented. The decisions taken in the Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports in regard to the I.T.C. clas- sification are announced by means of Public Notices wherever neces- sary. Such decisions are also incorporated in the alphabetical index attached to the Import Trade Control Policy Book.

Currency areas

18. <1) Previously, the countries of the world were divided into two major groups (i) the Dollar Area and (ii) the Soft Currency Area, for licensing purposes. The distinction between Dollar and Soft Currency areas was removed from the licensing period April, 1961—September, 1961,

(2) Import licences of the following two types are now issued: — (i) "General Area licences" which are valid for import from

all countries; and

"Specific licences" such as licences issued under Capital Goods and H.EP. Schemes, licences issued for import from rupee payment area etc., which are valid for import from specified country or countries.

No licence is valid for import from South Africa] South West Africa. (General Area includes all countries except South Africa | South West Africa). Import licences are also not valid for import from Rhodesia vide Government of India, Ministry of Commerce Order No. 9/65 dated the 17th November 1965, from Tibet-region of China vide Ministry of Commerce Order No. S.O./3742 dated 17th December, 1962, and from Portugal vide Ministry of Commerce Order No. 9/67 dated 1st August, 1967.

Licensing period

19. Previously, the import policy was published, on half-yearly basis. But, with effect from the financial year April 1962—March 1963? the Import Trade Control Policy Book (Red Book) contains the policy for a whole financial year.

Import policy

20. (1) The import policy is announced on the eve of each finan- cial year by means of a Public Notice which is issued in the form of a book called the Import Trade Control Policy Book, commonly known as the "Red Book", which is a priced publication and is avail- able for sale with the licensing authorities at the ports and the Manager of Publications, Delhi, and other authorised dealers in Government publications. Any important changes in policy that may become necessary in the mid-term of the financial year, are separately notified by means of Public Notice.

(2) With effect from the period April 1968—March 1969, the im- port policy has been published in two separate Volumes. Volume I contains the import policy for established importers, actual users and others; and Volume II pertains to the import policy for Register- ed Exporters.

Licensing authorities

21. (1) Names of the licensing authorities and their juridiction are given in para 5 of this book.

(2) Unless otherwise provided, an application for import licence in respect of an item should be made to the licensing authority as shown in the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book. Where ithe Licensing authority is shown as port or regional licensing autho- rity, the applicant should apply to the particular licensing authority under whose jurisdiction his business is established; but, in the case of an Actual User, the determining factor for this purpose is the location of the factory and not of tne management, and the actual .user should apply to the licensing authority within whose juris- diction his factory is located. However, in cases where any specific licensing authority has been shown against any item, as for exam- ple, Bombay, Calcutta, etc., all the applications for that item should be made to that authority irrespective of the jurisdiction of any other licensing authority in relation to the location of the applicant 3 .business or factory unless otherwise provided.

(3) The actual users should submit their applications for import licences to the licensing authorities as indicated for each category •of actual users in Chapter IV of this book through the sponsoring .authority concerned unless otherwise provided. Where an actual user has got factories and organizations at different places falling under the jurisdiction of different licensing authorities or one licens- ing authority, he should submit separate applications for each unit (i.e., in respect of each end product) to the licensing authority con- cerned through the sponsoring authority.

However, in case of scheduled units borne on the registers of DG'TD, the actual users having factories or organisations at different places, the head office may submit consolidated applications covering •the requirements in respect of raw materials, components and spare parts of all the factories and organizations in respect of the same end-product, to the CCI & E through the DGTD. The requirements •of each factory or unit may be separately enumerated in a list to be appended to such application. On such consolidated application, the licensing authority will issue separate licences in respect of each "factory/unit in terms of the policy in force if admissible.

(4) Where an established importer has more than one office in India, the location of the branch or office in whose name the quota certificate stands will determine the licensing authority to whom the application for licence should be made. Thus in the case of an established importer having offices in Delhi and Calcutta, if the quota certificate is in the name of Delhi office, the application should be addressed to the Joint Chief Controller of Imports and E"xpor*;s, Central Licensing Area, N.ew Delhi. The same principle will apply where different branches of an established importer have been func- tioning as separate entities and having their own quota certificates. A branch situated in the jurisdiction of Joint Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, Bombay, will apply to him for li"ences against all its imports through different ports, while the branch situated in the jurisdiction of, say, Joint Chief Controller of Imports and Ex- ports, Calcutta, will similarly apply to him on the basis of its total imports. The head office or branch of an established importer may, however, make a consolidated application for import licence on the Taasis of imoort standing in the name of the head office and all its branches. Such application should be accompanied with a certifi- •cate to the effect that all the other branches have not made and will

not make any application for import licence for the same period and the same item to any other licensing authority. In this connection,, attention is also invited to the provisions of para 46 of Chapter III regarding the selection of a common basic year by the head office- and all its branches.

Licensing authority in respect of iron and steel items

22. (1) The Iron and Steel Controller, Calcutta, Deputy Iron and Steel Controller, Bombay, the Assistant Iron and Steel Controller,. Madras, the Assistant Iron and Steel Controller, Faridabad, and the Officer on Special Duty, in the Ministry of Steel, Mines and Metals (Department of Iron and Steel) are the licensing authorities for certain controlled items of Iron and Steel, falling in Part I of the I.T.C. Schedule.

(2) I.D.A. industries : Actual users engaged in the I.D.A. priority industries (listed in Appendix 6) should, in respect of their require- ments for iron and steel items for these industries, apply for import licences to the respective I.T.C. authorities, and not to the Iron and Steel Controller's Organisation. In this connection, attention is in- vited to the procedure for submission of such applications laid down in Chapter IV of this book.

(3) Kandla Free Trade Zone: The licensing authority in respect of iron and steel items in the case of units situated in Kandla F r et Trade Zone, is the Assistant Controller of Imports and Exports, New Kandla.

(4) Registered exports policy: Applications for licences in;

respect of iron and steel items under the import policy for Register- ed Exporters should be made to the I.T.C. authorities, and not to the- Iron and Steel Controller's Organisation.

One application for each commodity in one licensing period

23. (1) An applicant should make only one application in a licens- ing period, in respect of goods falling under the same serial or sub- serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule, except in the following cases or where otherwise provided: —

(a) machinery items required by actual users unless more than one application becomes necessary for unavoidable- reasons,

(b) raw materials required by actual users. (c) application for licences made under the import policy for Registered Exporters.

(2) In cases where more than one application is submitted for items falling under the same serial or sub-serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule, applicants should furnish detailed reasons for doing So Cross reference of the previous application should distinctly and invariably be made in the relevant columns of the application. Any omission or breach of this rule will render the applicant liable to be debarred from receiving licences, without prejudice to any other action that may be taken against him under the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 or the Order issued thereunder.

Registration of licences at ports

24. (1) Import licences are valid for import at all ports in India, except where specifically provided otherwise in the licence. How- ever, the licensee is required to get his licence registered with the¹ customs authorities at a specified port.

(2) The applicants should invariably indicate in their applica- tions for import licences, the particulars port where they intend to register the licence, if issued, with the customs authorities. In their own interest, for expeditious clearance, the applicants should indicate such port of registration at which they intend to import the goods. The licensing authority concerned will indicate in the licence the port of registration by an endorsement made thereon. The im- porters should register the licence with the customs authorities at the specified port only, although, as hitherto, it will continue to be valid for import at all ports of India, except where specifically provided otherwise in the licence.

(3) If the licence holder, after registering his licence at the spe- cified port, wants to import goods at a port other than the port of registration, he should obtain a release advice from the port of re- gistration to the port of importation of goods. The licensing autho- rity may also entertain requests for amendment in regard to the port of registration in cases where the licence has not been regis- tered or where the licence has been registered but the goods have not arrived. Such amendments, where made, will be duly intimat- ed to the Customs authority at the port of registration originally indicated in the licence.

(4) Where an import licence is presented for clearance of goods at a Customs House other than the one at which the licence is re- gistered, the customs authorities at the port of clearance will allow clearance on the basis of the 'released' advice issued by the customs authorities at the port of registration, if the import is otherwise In order. In such cases the Import licence will be debited by the cus- toms authorities at the port of registration at the time of issuing the 'release' advice; and the customs authorities at the port of clearance will debit the 'release' advice.

Last date for submission of applications

25. (1) The last dates for submission of applications for licences are indicated in the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book. Applicants are advised in their own interest to submit applications well in advance of the last date so as to reach the licensing authority or the sponsoring authority concerned, as. the case may be, before the last date as an application received after the prescribed last date is liable to be summarily rejected.

(2) However, in case, the prescribed last date falls on a public holiday or a bank holiday, applications, complete in all respects, re- ceived on the following working day will be deemed to have been received by the last date.

CHAPTER HI

ESTABLISHED IMPORTERS

Definition

27. (1) Established importers are those who have been actually engaged in the import trade of the articles comprised in any serial or sub-serial number, of the I.T.C. Schedule during at least one financial year (1st April to 31st March) falling within the basic period specified for the said serial or sub-serial number. The importers may choose the most favourable year from the basic period for the purpose of obtaining quota certificates.

(2) An established importer may be (i) an individual, (ii) a partnership firm, (iii) a karta of a Hindu undivided family in respect of the family business, (iy) a limited company or (v) any associa- tion or body of individuals.

Basic period 28. (1) The basic period for the purpose of calculating the quota of established importers, which was in force during April 1967—March 1968 period, has been changed. With effect from April 1968—March 1969, the basic period will be from 1st April 1951 to 31st March 1966, for all items, unless otherwise provided.

(2) No application for fixation | re-establishment of quotas will be accepted in respect of past imports in any financial year prior to 1st April 1951. However, quotas already fixed in respect of past imports during the period from 1937-3& to 1944-45 and from 1945-46 to 1950- 51, will continue to be accepted for the grant of quota licences until further notice.

(3) No applications for refixation or re-establishment of quotas will be entertained in the following cases: —

(i) For items licensable to established importers at a quota of more than 100 per cent.

(ii) For items falling under a particular serial number or sub- serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule, but imported against a licence for a different serial number or sub-serial num- ber, under the concession of interchangeably or under other provisions applicable to established importers.

(4) The importers holding quota certificates based on past imports pertaining to the basic period upto 1960-61, will not be allowed to have their quotas refuted, except in cases where refixation of quota is sought on the basis of imports in a year subsequent to 1960-61, within the prescribed basic period.

(5) Importers who got their earlier quotas refixed on the basis of their past imports during 1961-62 to 1965-66, will not be allowed to have further relaxation of quotas, except in cases where such fur- ther refixation of quota is sought, within the prescribed basic period en the basia of imports in a year subsequent to the year on which the earlier quota was based.

Quota certificates on security forms

29 (1) A quota certificate as referred to in para 27 above is issued by a •licensing authority to an established importer in token ot acceptance of his past imports of a particular commodity falling

under a swial or a sub-serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule, in a financial year selected by him within the specified basic period. All quota certificates are issued on security form, a specimen of which is given in Appen'dix (7). Import licences are granted to established importers on the basis of valid quota certificates.

(2) The application for establishment/reflxation of quota should be made to the regional licensing authority concerned. Even in respect of items licensable to established importers by the Head- quarters Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, the applications for establishment/refixation of Quota Certificates have to be made to the regional licensing authority in whose jurisdiction the business of the applicant is established.

(3) After the grant of the quota certificate, if the licensing authority, has got any 'doubt, he may call for the original documents to recheck, the applicant's past imports and, on verification, the quota certificate may be amended, reduced in value or cancelled. Quota certificate will also be liable to cancellation or amendment or reduction in value if it has been granted by inadvertence or by mistake or contrary to rules or has been obtained by fraud or mis- representation.

Documents to be furnished for fixation or refutation of quotas

30. (1) A quota certificate is issued on the basis of the following documents: —

(i) (a) The triplicate copy of the Customs Bill of Entry for home consumption, (b). In the case of goods bonded on arrival, a copy of original 'into bond' Bill of Entry certified by the customs authorities, (c) In the case of duty-free goods, the Exchange Control copy of the Bill of Entry.

(ii) Invoice pertaining to the gootls imported;

(iii) Bank memo, Bank draft or other evidence of payment, and particulars of licences, etc., against which the imports were made.

N.B.— (a) In the case of duty-free goods, if the importer is unable to produce Exchange Control copy of the Bill of Entry on the ground that it had been retained by the Reserve Bank of In'dia, the triplicate copy of the Bill of Entry, or the certified copy of the Bill of Entry will be accepted.

(b) In the case of goods bonded on arrival, if the importer is unable to produce 'into bond' Bill of Entry for valid reasons to tfra satisfaction of the licensing authority and where the importer is able to produce evi'dence that no transfer of ownership of goods took place while the goods were ^in bond' the licensing authority may accept the 'Ex-bond' Bill of Entry in lieu of 'into bond' Bill of Entry, provided the importer files an affidavit: —

(1) that for reasons stated in the affidavit, he is not able to- furnish the 'into bond' Bill of Entry;

(2) that no transfer of ownership of the goods took place when the goods were in bond;

(3) that no quota has been or will be claimed against the 'into bond' Bill of Entry for the same goods from licens- ing authority.

In such cases, the date of original bond when the goods were first entered into bond will be reckoned as the date of importation for the purpose of calculation of quota and' not the date given in the 'Ex-bond' Bill of Entry.

(c) if, for valid reasons, an importer is unable to produce the customs copy of the Bill of Entry where such copy is required to be produced, but produces the Exchange- Control Copy thereof or a true copy of the Bill of Entry certified by customs authorities the case may be con- sidered on merits by the licensing authority after the importer concerned files an affidavit in the form given in- Appendix (&) to this book.

(iv) In the case of imports made by the post, the Postal Decla- ration Form or Customs Duty Receipt with relevant invoice, Bank draft and the particulars of licence etc.,. against which the import was made, should be produced.

N.B.— (a) If an importer is unable to produce Postal Declaration Form or Customs Duty Receipt, then the documents namely. Bill of Exchange, Banker's Memorandum of pay- ment and the relevant invoice duly attested by a Customs; Appraiser, will be accepted in lieu.

(b) In cases where the importers are unable tp produce the required evidence for proving past imports made by post, certificates of postal imports giving the description of goods contained in the parcel and the duty paid by the importer, issued by the Assistant Controller of Customs,, Postal Appraisement, will also be accepted in lieu of the prescribed evidence; provided the importer flies an affidavit to the effect that he has not claimed a quota previously on the basis of the postal wav bills, memoranda of pay- ment and relative invoices etc., in respect of the same- goods nor will he do so in future. The licensing authority- will consider the application if it is satisfied on the basis of the evidence produced that the Imports were actually made within the basic period and that payment was actually made for the goods.

(v) In the case of imports from Pakistan, Land Customs Appendices supported by corresponding invoices, and Solas (Bank memos) and any other satisfactory evidence of payment for the imported goods, will be accepted.

(2) Apart from the original documents of past imports as pres- cribed the application for establishment/re-fixation of quota should' also be accompanied by certified or photostat copies of the documents' of past imports. Where an applicant is not readily in a position' to- furnish the certified copies of photostat copies of all the documents with his application for quota certificate, the licensing authority may issue the quota certificate provisionally valid for one period only subject to the production of certified or photostat copies of the original documents of past imports to the licensing authority con- cerned. Such provisional quota certificate will bear the following¹ endorsement: —

"Provisional for one period only an'd subject to regularisation on furnishing the certified copies or photostat copies of all the documents of past imports to the licensing- authority".

On production of the copies of documents of past imports, the above endorsement will be deleted.

Basic imports

31. (1) Subject to , the provisions of sub-para (2) below, the licensing authority will, on the basis of the above documents, determine the 'basic imports' of the applicant, i.e., the c.i.f. value of his imports>"f goods falling under the same serial number of sub-serial' number from the General Area/Pakistant in a common co/npleted financial year selected bv the importer with the prescribed basic period. The licensing auhtority will then issue a quota certificate' on security form for the value as determined.

Provided that in the case of a Serial No. or Sub-Serial No. for which two separate quota licences could be issued during October I960—March 1961 licensing period on former General Area and' former Soft Currency Area in respect of past imports falling in. different basic years from the former Dollar and Soft Currency Areas respectively, the parties holding such two quota certificatea will be allowed to retain such quota certificates until further notice.-

(2) Quota Certificates are issued on the basis of past imports from all countries included in the General Area other than Pakistan,, Afghanistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, S;kkim and former Portuguese- or French possessions in India. But the importer will be entitled to' an additional quota certificate on Pakistan on the basis of his imports" from Pakistan only; provided the basic year for these imports is the same as the one on the bas;s of which the importer has obtained his quota certificate on General Area.

Issue of separate quota certificate in respect of past imports from Pakistan

32. The quota certificate in respect of past imports from Pakistan,, as stated in para, (31) above, will be issued to an importer on the- basis of original documents indicated in para (30) above. It is essential that the importers should obtain their quota certificates on the basis of their imports from Pakistan simultaneously with their quota certificates on General Area. Similarly they should, while applying for re-fixation of quotas on the General Area, invariably submit their quota certificates on Pakistan along with their old! quota certificates on Soft Currency Area/Dollar Area.

Imports which will not be counted as basic imports

33. The following categories of imports will not be taken into account calculating the importer's quota:—

(a) Imports made in contravention of the import trade control rules and regulations.

(b) Imports made without a valid licence and cleared under a warning.

(c) Imports made in excess of the value of the licence and allowed to be cleared by the customs authorities on pay- ment of fine/penalty. Only such excess will not qualify for quota fixation.

(d) Imports made by the applicant under a letter of authority authorising him to import goods against a licence granted to another party.

(e) Imports made under licence granted against the orders of the late D.G. (I. & S.) (now D.G.S. & D.) or of the State Railways.

(f) Imports made under licences granted to actual users in respect of raw materials or accessories or other articles.

(g) Imports made under adhoc licences (other than those adhoc licences which were issued for imports of goods for stock and sale purposes only) or licences granted subject to express condition that imports thereunder will not be taken into account in calculating quotas whether the licences are marked N.Q.Q. or not.

(h) Imports made against C.G. & H.E.P. licences by actual users or other imports against orders from actual users. However, imports made against C.G. & H.E.P. licences for stock and sale purposes will be taken into account for purposes of calculation of quota only in respect of S. No. 36/11, S. No. 4/III and S. No. 65/V of the I.T.C. Schedule.

(i) Imports of goods of no commercial value made under O.G.L. IV.

(j) Imports made against licences granted under the export promotion schemes, avocation schemes or under the export policy for registered exporters.

(k) Imports made against "replacement licences". (1) Imports of casual nature e.g., imports for personal use or imports" as samples.

(m) Imports of equipments against licences issued under the Irrigation Projects Licensing Scheme.

In) Imports made under licences issued through inadvertence or mistake or contrary to rules or provisions of Imports (Control) Order, 1955, or obtained by fraud or mis- representation, subsequently detected.

(o) Imports made by an actual user under O.G.L. or otherwise of goods which were used by the actual user in his own factory/establishment.

(p) Licences issued against specific orders from actual users,

(q) Goods which are not cleared for home consumption.

(r) Imports made against liecnces issued under the National Defence Remittance Scheme (N.D.R.S.).

(s) Imports of an item falling under a particular serial number or Sub-Serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule, made against a licence partaining to a different S. No. or Sub-Serial number, under the concession of interchangeability or under other pro- visions applicable to established importers in the utilisation of their licences. (Quotas already fixed will not, however, be disturbed).

Imports allowed under warning by Customs—Acceptance (or

fixation of quota

34. In some cases, goods, might have been imported under a licence, but the customs authorities may find some discrepancy in the goods and the imports may not be exactly covered by the licence against which ihe goods arc sought to be cleared. Again there may be cases where the goods are allowed to be cleared on the basis of wrong advice regarding .classification given by the I.T.C. authorities or the customs houses. In cases of this nature, the customs warn the importer and may permit the clearance of goods. Such imports, though allowed to be cleared after issue of a warning by the customs, will qualify for quota fixation. However, the quota will be fixed only under the correct I.T.C. classification of the goods if otherwise admissible.

Determination of the date of Import In connection with past imports

35. In determining whether a particular import falls in any particular financial year for the purpose of fixation/refixation of quota, the following dates will be reckoned to be the dates of importation :—

(a) In the case of goods cleared for home consumption, the date given in the oval stamp affixed on the relevant Bill of Entry,

(b) In the case of duty free goods cleared for home consumption.

the date of the Import Duty Free Number (I.D.F. number);

<(c) In the case of goods bonded on arrival and subsequently cleared from bond for home consumption, the date on which the goods were bonded by customs;

(d) In the case of post parcels, the date assigned to the way bill by the post office.

(e) In the case of imports by land route the date on which custom duty is recovered by the customs authorities; in the case of duty-free goods imported by land route, the date on which the land customs appendices are passed by the customs for clear- ance of the goods for home consumption.

Procedure for quota fixation in case of change in the classification

of items

36. In cases where classification of an item or article changes from, one serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule to another, the licensing authority will take into account the past imports of such item or article for esiab- lishment/re-fixation or recalculation of quota under the new serial number,, if otherwise admissible. In doing so, it will be ensured that:—

(i) The importer's quota under the old serial number is correspond- ingly reduced and his quota certificate duly amended; and

(ii) Only such past imports are taken into account for the purpose- of re-fixation/re-calculation of quota as are in respect of the same basic year as the importer s original quota certificate for the new serial number in question.

Procedure for submission of applications for establishment of quotas

37. (1) Applications for establishment or refixation of quotas should be made in the prescribed form (Form 'F'), and should be accompanied b y :-

(i) the previous quota certificate, wherever it is sought to be- rcvised;

(ii) a certified copy of the import licence, if any, received for the- previous licensing period;

(iii) a statement of basic year's imports in the prescribed form, supported by relevant documents mentioned in paragraph 36 above, together with certified or photostat copy of each of the- documents duly signed by the applicant; and

(iv) a statement giving reasons to prove the necessity for the estab- lishment or refixation of the quota.

(2) Applications for establishment/refixation of quotas will be enter- tained, if otherwise admissible, in respect of items for which the basic period¹ has been extended or in cases in which the licensing authority is satisfied that the applicant has been unable for some good reason e.g., litigation or financial difficulties etc., to prove his basic imports and to establish his quota to participate in the import trade in the previous licensing periods. The need for establishing fresh quotas will also arise in cases in whicb the item or article in question has been allotted a separate serial number, or ths system of quota licensing in respect of the item or the article has- been introduced for the first time.

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-para (2) above, no> belated application for establishment/rcfixation of quota will be entertained' in respect of any serial number or sub-serial number where the delay in making the application exceeds five years. However, the delay may be condoned in cases where the licensing authority is satisfied that it was duc- to circumstances beyond the control of the applicant.

(4) Separate applications for establishment or refixation of quotas, should be made in respect of items falling in different serial numbers or sub-serial numbers of the T.T.C. Schedule.

(5) The applications for establishment/re-fixation of quotas should be made, complete in all respects, within the date prescribed in the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book. However, in cases where there is a change in the name, constitution or ownership of a business requiring recognition by the I.T.C. authority, it is not necessary for the new or the reconstituted concern to submit their applications for the establishment/ re-fixation of quotas within the prescribed date in respect of past imports standing in the name of the original concern. In such cases, the application for establishment/re-fixation of quotas should be made within a period of 30 days from the date of the applicant's recognition as new established importer.

(6) Late applications for quota: Applications for establishment/ re-fixation of quotas received incomplete, or after the prescribed last date, will be liable to be summarily rejected. Tfie licensing authority may, however, entertain an application which is received, complete in all respects, within 30 days from the prescribed last date, or where the deficiencies in an incomplete application are made good cither within 30 days from the prescribed last date for receipt of the application, or within 30 days from the date on which the applicant is informed of the deficiencies by the licensing authority. But, in such cases, although the cjuota certificate will be granted, if otherwise admissible, the value of the licence issued on the basis of such quota certificate, for the licensing period during which late or incomplete application for quota certificate is made, will be reduced by 25 per cent. This cut will also be applicable to minimum value licences.

Note.—The absence of documents of past imports will be considered as a deficiency for the purpose of the provisions of this sub-para- graph.

(7) The licensing authority may also entertain a late or deficient appli- cation fur establishment/re-fixation of quota, which is not otherwise accep- table in terms of the provisions made in sub-paragraph (6) above. But this will be subject to the condition that a quota certificate, if otherwise admissible and issued on the basis of such application, will not be valid for the grant of a licence for the licensing period during which such lale or deficient application has been made.

Fixation of quota items under O.G.L. or which are banned for Import

or whose imports are canalised

38. No application for fixation or refixation of quota for items which arc under O.G.L. or which are banned or whose imports are canalised through some particular agency and are not open to established importers, will be entertained. However, to avoid hardship that may be caused by the strict application of this rule, the licensing authority may relax the rule in the following types of cases:—

(i) Where an application for fixation of quota for a particular item remains pending for one period or more and, at the time of finalisation of the case, it so happens that the import of the item is banned, the quota certificate may not be refused merely on the ground that the item had been subsequently banned;

(iD where an importer holds a quota certificate for a serial number which is subsequently split into various sub-serial numbers, some of which are banned, the original quota certificate may be split up by issuing fresh quota certificates in respect of past imports of each of the sub-serials including the banned ones;

(iii) Where the import of certain machinery etc., is banned but there is a provision in the relevant policy for the grant of licences for spare parts against the past import of such banned machinery, the quota certificate may be issued for such machinery in spite of the ban to enable the applicant to obtain licence for spare parts in terms of the policy.

(iv) Where an item is on O.O.L. or S.G.L. (Special General Licence) for import from specified country or countries only, the quota certificate may be issued in respect of such item, in spite of the item beine on the O.G.L. or S.G.L.

Cases in which quota certificates/licences will not be issued

39. (1) No quota certificate will be issued to an established importer if the value of the past imports on which quota is claimed is up to the minimum value indicated below :—

The value of past imports on which no quoto certificate will be granted.

Qupta percentage on articles as given in the relevant Import Trade Conttrol policy.

Rs. 100/-

(i) 25% orlc88

Ra. 200/-

(U) Over 25%

(2) An established importer will not be eligible to a licence where his entitlement under the relevant import policy works out to Rs. 100 or below, or the value of his quota certificate or past imports on which a licence is claimed is upto Rs. 200.

40. (1) If the application for a quota certificate is made within the date prescribed for submission of such applications in terms of the policy in force and the application is complete in all respects and is accompanied by all the required documents, efforts will be made by the licensing authority to grant the quota certificate as early as possible before the expiry of ihe licensing period in which the application is made. However, there may be cases where the grant of the quota certificate is delayed for one reason or the other. The grant of licences for back periods against such quota certi- ficate will be considered in terms of the provisions contained in Para 47 of this book.

(2) If an application for a quota certificate is not disposed of within a period of 21 days from the date of its receipt in the Quota Fixation Section, Ihe licensing authority will issue an interim reply to the appli- cant. If an applicant does not receive an interim reply even after this time limit, he can bring the matter to the notice of the Public Relations Officer in the Import Trade Control Office concerned or book an inter- view with the officer concerned through the Enquiry Officer in order to know the reasons for the delay in the disposal of his application.

41. In para 20 of Section I of the Import Trade Control Policy Book for January-June, 1955 period it was notified that with effect from July- December, 1955 licensing period, the old quota certificates on non- security form, will not be accepted for the grant of import licences. How- ever, such of the importers who had not received quota certificates on

security form, were advised to do so immediately; and this concession had been extended upto July-December, 1956 period. With effect from January-June, 1957 period, the quota certificates, if any, on non-security paper are not accepted for calculation of quotas. It may be noted thai, in no case, will an import licence be granted on the basis of the old quota certificate (i-e., quota certificate not issued on security form)

Issue of duplicate quota certificates

42. (1) Where a quota certificate is lost or misplaced, the established importer can file an affidavit on stamped paper in the form prescribed in Appendix (8) to this book and apply for the issue of a duplicate. The affidavit should be sworn before a 1st Class Magistrate or a Notary Public.

(2) Where a quota certificate on security form gets torn or worn out b> frequent handling, the established importer can apply for the issue of n duplicate in lieu of such quota certificate.

(3) The applications for issue of duplicate quota certificates in such cases should be made to the licensing authority who had issued the original quota certificate in question.

(4) It will be open to the licensing authority to ask for the original] documents such as Bill of entry etc., to verify the applicant's past imports before issuing duplicate quota certificate.

Basis of quota licences

43. (1) Established importers can get quota|additional|supplementary licences on the basis of a valid quota certificate issued on security form, in terms of the import policy in force.

(2) The application for licence should be submitted by an applicant in the prescribed form, complete in all respects, so as to be received by the licensing authority concerned within the date prescribed for this purpose in the relevant Import Trade Control Policy, and duly accompanied by:.

(a) a valid quota certificate issued on security form;

(b) Treasury/Bank receipt showing payment of the application fee on the value applied for;

(c) any other document considered necessary on prescribed in terms of the provisions of this book or the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book or Public Notices/Trade Notices issued in this regard.

(3) The documents of past imports on the basis of which the quota certificate has been issued, need not be produced by the applicant along with his application for quota|additional|supplementary licence. But it will be open to the licensing authority to ask for the original documents of imports such as Bill of Entry etc., to verify the applicant's past Imports before issuing the licence.

(4) Where there is a change in the name, ownership or constitution of an established importer's business requiring recognition by the I.T.C. authority, it is not necessary for the new or the reconstituted concern to submit their applications for the grant of quota licences within the pres- cribed date in respect of quotas standing in the name of the original con- cern. In such cases, the established importer should make applications for quota licences within a period of 30 days from the date of his recogni- tion as established importer and grant of quotas. However, where such applications for quota licences happen to be made after the expiry of the licensing period to which the applications relate, the provisions of para- graph (47) of this 'book will be applicable in the disposal of such applica- tions also.

(5) If instead of obtaining the import licence on the basis of the quota certificate held by the applicant, he desires, for some good reason, to have his quota established afresh or revised, he should submit his application for establishment/refixation of quota to the licensing authority concerned as provided in paragraph (37) above. Previously, the application for the establishment of quota used to form part of the application for grant of licence; but in the interest of simplicity and despatch, the application for establishment or revision of quota is now required to be made separately.

(6) Where an applicant has submitted an application for cstablish- ment/refixation of quota complete in all respects within the last date pres- cribed for the submission of such application, he should submit his applica- tion for licence within 30 days from the date of issue of the quota certi- ficate or within the last date prescribed for submission of applications for licences in terms of the relevant import trade control policy, whichever date is later. Where an applicant has submitted an application for refixation of cjuota, but such application is rejected, and the applicant wants to apply for import licence on the basis of the. quota certificate already held by him, he should submit his application for the licence within 30 days from the date of such rejection.

7. Applications received after the prescribed date arc liable to be summarily rejected. Applicants are, therefore, advised in their own interest to submit applications compleLe In all respects much in advance of the prescribed last date. The licensing authority may, however, entertain ;m application from an established importer for quota/additional/supple- mentary licence which is received complete in all respects or is com- pleted by supplying the deficiencies within 30 days from the prescribed last date lor receipt of such application or where the deficiencies are completed within a period of 30 days from the date on which the applicant is informed of the deficiencies by the licensing authority. But in such cases, the value of the quotu!additional|fiupp!ementary licence, if otherwise due, will be reduced by 25 per cent. This cut will also be applicable to minimum value qnota|additional|supplementary licences.

NOTE.—-The absence of a treasury challan for the requisite amount or a quota certificate or any other important required to be furnished by the applicant along with his application for licence will be con- sidered as a deficiency for the purpose of the provisions of this paragraph.

(8) It may be clarified that where an import licence is subject to 25 per cent cut in value in terms of Lie provisions of sub-para (7) of this paragraph as well as sub-para 37(6) above, the total cut to be imposed on the applicant's entitlement in such a case will be 50 per cent.

Procedure tor Calculating Value of Quota Licences

44. (1) A quota licence is given to an established importer as a percent- age of the value of his past imports as appearing in the quota certificate in accordance with the import policy in force.

(2) The distinction between Dollar and Soft Currency Areas was removed for the purpose of issuing import licences with effect from the period April 1961—September 1961. Consequently, established impor- ters are required to make only one application for a quota licence on 'General Area', on the basis of the past imports in any financial year, with- in the prescribed basic period, in respect of articles falling under the same serial number or sub serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule.

(3) Tn the case of serial number or sub serial number for which separate quota licences could be issued immediately before the removal of distinction between the two currency areas, i.e., during October 1960— March 1961 period, on the former General Area and the former Soft Currency Area respectively, the parties holding two quota certificates in respect of past imports from Dollar and Soft Currency Areas, falling in different basic years, will be eligible to receive quota licences on the combined value of two quota certificates.

(4) Established importers having two quota certificates in respect of an item, issued from the former Dollar Area and former Soft Currency Area respectively, prior to April 1961—September 1961, should make only one application for a licence in respect of such item from General Area, in the manner indicated below:—

(i) In the case of items which were licensable from Soft Currency Area only during October 1960/March 1961 licensing period, the Established importer holding two Quota Certificates on former dollar area and former soft currency area will be entitled to receive quota licence on the combined value of both the quota certificates provided the pust imports shown in the quota certificates fall in the same financial year within the basic period. But if the imports fall in different basic years, the established importer will be free to claim a quota licence only on one quota certificate which may be advantage- ous to him for the purpose of obtaining a quota licence.

(ii) In the case of a serial number or sub-serial number for which separate quota licences could be issued on Gencnil Area and Soft Currency Area during October 1960/March 1961 licens- ing period, the established importer holding two quota certifi- cates in respect of past imports from former Dollar and former Soft Currency Areas in the same or different financial years, within the basic period, will be eligible to receive quota licence on the combined value of the two quota certificates. In such cases also the established importer should submit only one application for a quota licence.

"It may be clarified that the concession of granting quota licences on the combined value of two quota certificates issued prior to April—September 1961 period, will not be available when, the quota has to be refixed consequent upon change in the classification of goods, introduction of a new Serial No. /Sub- Serial No. or split up of the existing Serial No. /Sub-Serial No. into two or more Serial Nos./Sub-Sr. Nos. The fresb quota certificate issued will be in respect of past imports of the goods admissible for quota fixation under the particular Serial No, or Sub-Serial No. in a common financial year selec- ted by the importer within the precribed basic period."

(iii) The Established Importers should give declaration in the fol- lowing form along with their applications:—

"We possess/do not possess two quota certificates for serial number/sub-serial number (to be specified) and declare that we have submitted no other application for obtaining quota licence.''

Note.—This declaration has been incorporated in the application form 'A ment for established importers and need not, therefore, be furnished separately. This declaration is also not necessary in the case of application for licences based on quota certificates- issued after 31st March, 1961.

(5) As a measure of relief to importers from Pakistan, separate licences will be issued based on the quota certificatas pertaining to the past imports lrom Pakistan. The value of such separate licences will be calculated OD the same quota percentage as is applicable in respect of the item con- cerned for import from General Area as a whole in terms of the relevant Import Trade Control Policy, in the same manner as indicated in this para. The separate licences so issued will be valid for import from General Area,

Minimum value of licences

45. (1) If an established importer is eligible to a licence in terms oi para 39 above, the minimum value of quota/additional/supplementary licence issued to him will be Rs. 1000/-, unless otherwise provided.

(2) In the case of division of quota of an established importer on acccunt of dissolution of the partnership, death of the proprietor, partition of the Hindu undivided family or any other reason, the division of quota \v allowed to enable the succeeding parties to get their proportionate snares of the approved quota of the original firm. While allowing the division of quota in such cases, none of the succeeding parties will be allowed the concession of obtaining minimum value licences provided in this para, but the total value of licences admissible to all the succeeding parties, taken together, will be equal to the entitlement of the original firm had there been uo division of quota. The quota certificates granted to such parties will be suitably endorsed in this regard. It may be clarified that if, under the provisions of this sub-para, the value of a licence to be issued to a succeeding party comes to Rs. 100/- or less, such party will not be eligible to that licence in terms of sub-para 39(2) above.,

Established Importers having more than one office In India

46. (1) The Head Office and Branches of an established importer concern should obtain separate quota certificates in respect of past imports standing in the name of each of them; and the basic year for the Head Office and all its branches should be one and the same in respect of articles falling under one serial number or sub-serial number of the I.T.C. Schedule as the case may be.

(2) The Head Office and Branches of an established importer should, when applying for licences, append to their applications a certificate as in Appendix (8) to this book, certifying that the Head Office and all the Branches of the concern in India have selected a particular financial year as the common basic year and the quota certificate on the basis of which an import licence is claimed, gives the certified particulars of previous- imports in that common basic year.

(3) Under the rules, the clearance of goods imported by a branch of a concern should be allowed only against a licence issued to that parti- cular branch. But a relaxation has been allowed to permit the clearance of goods imported by one branch against a licence issued to another branch. In such cases the Bill of Entry will show the number of the licence an

(4) The Head Office or the branch of a concern may make a con- solidated application for import licence for any item on the basis of past imports standing in the name of head office and all its branches- Such application should be accompanied by a certificate to the effect that alt the other branches of the concern have not made and will not make any application for the same item during the same licensing period to any other licensing authority. The procedure for submission of applications by such concerns is also given in para 21 of this book.

(5) For the purpose of determining whether the applicants arc sepa- rate entities or branches, the following will be the criteria:—

(i) If the concerns are assessed to Income-tax jointly i.e. have a common IV.C. No., they will be treated as branches or head office and its branches.

(ii) If the firms are proprietary/Partnership concerns and are assess- ed to income-tax separately and have separate I.V.C. Nos, but are owned by one and the same person or the same set of persons, they will be treated as branches or Head Office and its branches.

(Hi) Limited companies, whether Public or Private with the same set of Directors or otherwise, which are assessed to income- tax separately and have separate I.V.C. Nos. will be treated' as separate entities.

Issue of import licences to established importers against applications

(or back periods

47. Although every possible effort will be made by the licensing authori- ties to dispose of all the applications for import licences submitted in a particular licensing period within the currency of that period, there may be cases where the final disposal of the application is delayed for the follow- ing reasons:—

(i) Laches on the part of the applicant by making incomplete applications or by late submission of required documents/ information.

(ii) Delay in the processing/consideration of the case due to un- foreseen circumstances beyond the control of the import crade control authorities or other government departments.

In the type of cases covered by category (i) above, no import licences would be granted against applications for back periods. But in the type cf cases covered by category number (ii), the applications for back periods will be considered subject to the availability of monetary foreign exchange ceiling in the following manner:—

(a) Where the item concerned is licensable to established impor- ters at the time of issue of the licence, the application for the back period will be considered in the normal course in terms of the import policy for the licensing period to which the application pertains;

(b) Where the item concerned is not licensable to established im- porters at the time of issue of the licence and the application for consideration pertains to the immediately preceding period, such application will be considered in the normal course in terms of the import policy lor the licensing period to which the application pertains provided the import of the item in question is not canalised through any agency at the time of issue of the licence; and

(c) no licences for back periods will be issued in cases not covered by (a) and (b) above and for items whose import is canalised at the time of consideration of the application. However, in order to alleviate the hardship caused to the applicant by the total refusal of licences in such cases, the licensing authority may consider such application on ad iwc basis and issue licen- ces for permissible items in lieu of banned and canalised Hems. Such licences where granted will be subject to such restrictions, limitations or conditions and for such value as may be deemed lit and decided by the licensing authority. The import licences for alternative items issued under this provision will also be subject to the conditions/restrictions applicable to such alter- native item in terms of the policy for the licencing period in which the licence has been issued and not the policy for the period to which the application pertains.

Recognition of new established importers and transfer of quotas (TQR)

48. An established importer may be (i) an individual, (ii) a partner- ship firm, (iii) a karta of a Hindu undivided family in respect of the family business, (iv) a limited company and (v) any association or body of individuals. Licences are granted in the name of the business belonging to the established importer. Where there is any change in the ownership, constitution or name of the business, the established importer will not be •eligible to the grant of licences as he ceases to be an established importer. However, in public interest and for continuity of business, the licensing .authority may recognise new established importers in respect of any business, in accordance with the provisions made in the following paragraphs.

49. Where there is a change in the ownership or constitution of an 'established importer's business, without any change in the name of the business, and the new owner or the reconstituted concern, as the case may be, acquires the quota of the original concern, as a whole, the quota belonging to the original concern will be deemed to have been transferred to the new concern. The new concern can obtain import licences on the basis of such quota, if otherwise admissible. In such cases, no applica- tion for TQR need be made but an intimation about the change should t>e sent, in the form given in Appendix 9, to the licensing authority con- cerned with the issue of the licence, within one month of the date of change. The constitution of the new concern should also be mentioned in the usual manner in the next application for import licence, indicating therein the nature of the change and the date from which it has taken place.

50. Where there is a change in the name of the established importer's business, without any change in the ownership or constitution of the busi- ness, no application for TQR need be made. The established importer should produce his quota certificate to the licensing authority concerned for necessary change therein, alongwith an affidavit about the change of name and affirming that he will not claim any licence in future in the old name. Where a private limited company becomes a public limited com- pany or vice versa, it should report the fact to the- licensing authority concerned.

51. Where there is a change in the name of established importers business alongwith a change in the ownership or constitution of the busi- ness, the new concern cannot claim import licences on the basis of the quota of the original concern, without obtaining TQR in its favour. The application for TQR should be made to the licensing authority concerned.

52. Where there is any change in the ownership or constitution of an established importer's business and, as a result of such change, a part of the quota of the original concern is required to be separated or the quota of the original concern is required to be divided, the application for such separation of the quota or for its division, as the, case may be, should be made to the concerned licensing authority. If the quota to be separated is also sought to be transferred in favour of any persons, the transferee should also make the application for TQR to the licensing authority concerned. In such cases, the new owner or the reconstituted concern (s) cannot claim import licences on the basis of the quota standing in the name of the original concern without obtaining TQR.

53. Where an established importer is a limited company and the company is amalgamated with another limited company, tne application for TQR in favour of the new company should be made to the licensing authority concerned, supported by an order of the competent court or othet evidence of amalgamation.

54. Application for TQR: An application for TQR should be made in the form given in Appendix 10 along with the prescribed documentary evidence. The jurisdiction of the port licensing authorities for dealing, with such applications is given in Appendix 11, The application for TQR should be made by the Head office of the applicant concern, covering alJ> its branches, and such application should be made to the licensing authority in whose jurisdiction the head office is situated. The importers holding quotas for items licensable by the Iron & Steel Controller only, should' apply to that authority for TQR.

55. The applications made in terms of paragraphs 51 and 52 above should be accompanied by the following documents:—

(i) in the event of death of any person, a death certificate should be, produced;

(ii) in the event of relinquishment of rights by any person in favour of another, an affidavit of relinquishrnent should be produced;.

(iii) if the transfer of quota in favour of any legal heir or heirs is claimed on the basis of a 'will', the application should also be- supported by the said 'will' and the probate thereof or an affidavit of consent by all the other legal heirs;

(iv) partnership deed of the outgoing concern;

(v) partnership deed of the incoming concern if it is a partnership firm;

(vi) if the business has been sold, deed of transfer duly registered! with the registrar of documents should be produced; if the firm is dissolved, a date of dissolution should be produced;

(vii) where a cbmmon basic year is required to be selected for calculation of quota, application should be supported by an< affidavit to the effect that the parties will select a common basic year for the establishment of quotas in respect of same- or similar items on the basis of the business done by the out- going concern; and

(viii) any other document on which the applicant may rely in support of his application.

56. Affidavits to be produced by the applicants with their applications for transfer/division of quotas, wherever laid down, should be sworn before a 1st Class Magistrate or a Notary public.

57. (i) Subject to the provisions in sub-para, (ii) and (iii") below, aw established importer is not allowed to tfanfer his business to which a quota' is attached, except as a whole.

(ii) If an established importer has two or more branches, each having a separate quota in re3pect thereof, it will be open to such established ^importer to transfer the business of any branch with the entire quota belonging to that branch.

(iii) Where due to a change of a sole agency in respect of the 'products •of a foreign manufacturer, the old agent agrees to transfer the whole or M part of his quota to the new agent, the transfer/division of the quota is permissible.

(iv) Where an established importer has also got a manufacturing business, and any of the items in which he has a quota as an established importer may be required for use in such manufacturing business, the • established importer can transfer his business as an established importer ^except for the items which may be required for use in the manufacturing business. If, in such a case, an established importer transfers his manu- facturing business, his established importer quota in respect of items which may be required as raw materials, components or spares in the said manu- facturing business will lapse.

58. In the following types of cases, import licences can be claimed •only against quotas calculated on 'common basic year', in respect of same •or similar items on the basis of the business done by the out-going ^concern:—

(a) where a quota is divided and transferred in part to serveral persons separately, the persons in whose favour the quota is transferred, have to select a common basic year. However, where a person acquires a quota in respect of any item trans- ferred in his favour and he already holds a quota in respect of the same item by virtue of a business done separately, it shall be open to him to claim licences on the combined value of the two quota certificates even if the quota certificates are in different basic years. This will also apply in the case of amalgamation of two limited companies.

(b) in cases falling under sub-paragraphs 57 (ii) and 57 (iii) above, the transfer and the transferee will be required to select common basic year for the same and similar items; and

(c) the provisions of this paragraph will also apply to cases where the parties have been exempted from making applications for TQR.

59. (1) Where an application for TQR is required to be made in tierms of these provisions, such application should be made so as to reach -the licensing authority concerned, complete in all respects, within a period of 90 days from the date of change in the ownership, constitution or name • of business, etc, as the case may be. The licensing authority may, how- • ever, in deserving cases, condone the delay in making the application if such authority is satisfied that the delay was caused by circumstances beyond the control of the applicant. If the applicant is not in a position to make an application, complete in all respects, within the prescribed period of 90 -days due to the formalities to be observed in getting the deed of transfer "of business registered with the Registrar of Documents, ho can apply by (producing an attested copy of the transfer deed with an evidence to show

that the original deed has been deposited for registration and shou d furnish an undertaking to the effect that the original deed duly registered will be produced by him within a period of 15 days from the date of registration.

(2) Where an application for TQR, complete in all respects, i.e., ac- companied by documents specified in paragraph 55 above, is received by the licensing authority concerned within a period of 90 days from the date of change m the ownership', constitution or name of the business, as the; case may be, or where the delay in the receipt of the application is con- doned by the licensing authority, as indicated in sub-paragraph (1) of this- paragraph, the transferee will be eligible to the transfer 13 f quota from the licensing period during which the change occurred. In other cases, the. TQR will be effective from the licensing period during which the appli- cation for TOR is made complete in all respects. In the case of deficient applications, the TQR will be valid from the licensing period during which-, the documents specified in paragraph 55 above are produced.

(3) The licensing authorities will dispose of applications for TQR. expeditiously. If an application for TQR, made complete in all respects,. is not disposed of within a period of one month, the licensing authority will issue an interim reply to the applicant. If an applicant does not re- ceived an interm reply even within this time, limit, he can bring the matter to the notice of the Public Relations Officer in the Import Trade Control office concerned, or book an interview with the officer concerned through 1 the Enquiry Officer in order to know the reasons for the delay in the dis- posal of his application.

60. (i) Where an established importer has duly made an applications for licence, but there is a change in the ownership or constitution or name of the business before the licence is granted, the licence will be granted on such application, if otherwise admissible, to the new owner or owners or newly constituted firm, etc., after their having been recognised as estab- lished importer, provided the validity of the TQR under sub-para 59(2)' above covers the period of the application in question.

(ii) If the licensing authority is satisfied that the approval to the- recognition and grant of quota is likely to be delayed on account of cir- cumstances beyond the control of the applicant, it will be open to the licensing authority to grant licences to the applicant in anticipation of the' approval, if the applications are otherwise in order.

(iii) The rules and procedure for the grant of licences for back periods to established importers will also apply to the applications for licences to be issued to newly recognised established importers.

61. In the. following types of cases, the quota of established importer will lapse:—

(i) if the established importer is an individual and is declared' insolvent; and

(ii) if the established importer is a limited company which is wound- up without any arrangement having been made for the trans- fer of its business.

62. In the following cases, no change in the ownership of the business will be held to have taken place for the purpose of these rules:—

(i) Change of directors or share holders in public or private limited company,

(ii) Changes in the Hindu undivided family by birth, death or otherwise; this will not, however, apply to the death or retire- ment of Karta.

(iii) Change of address of an established importer's business.

63. Any case which is not strictly covered by any of the above para- graphs will be decided on analogous principles.

64. In cases where an application for TQR is not required to be made under the foregoing provisions, the application for licence should be accompanied by a declaration in the form given in Appendx 9.

65. Where the new established importers have been exempted from making applications for TQR, the import licences will be issued to them' in the normal course, if otherwise admissible. They will, however be- required to state in their applications for licences the changes occurring in the business and the dates from which such changes have taken place. If in such cases, any objection is received from any 'persons at any time against the licences claimed or granted, the licensing authority will examine such objection and call for such evidence from both the parties as may be deemed necessary. If as a result of the examination, the licensing auth- rity finds that the established importer is not entitled to the whole or " part of the quota on the basis of which he has been claiming licences with- out i3btaining sanction for TQR, the quota of the, established importer will' be reduced accordingly and the parties found guilty of misrepresentation or contravention of these rules will be liable to penal action under the Imports and Exports (Control) Act and the orders issued thereunder. In such cases the value of the excess licences already obtained by the party will also be adjusted against the future quotas of the party in respect of any items for any category.

66. If the objection in terms of 'paragraph 65 above is made to the licensing authority concerned within three months from the date of the change in the coonstitution or ownership or name of the established impor- ter's business, and the objector is found to be entitled to either the whole or a part of the quota, he will be eligible to the transfer of such quotajn his favour. The licensing authority may also condone the delay in making- the objection, if such authority is satisfied that the delay was caused by circumstances beyond the control of the lobjector.

67. Tt will be open to the licensing authority to reject the applications

for TQR :—

(i) if the application or the documents accompanying the applica- tion are defective;

(ii) if the licensing authority decides that the recognition and grant of quota is notfio public interest or for continuity of any- business;

(iii) if the licensing authority decides that the transfer/division of quota is sought with an intention to defeat the transferers cre- ditors;

(iv) for any other reasons to be recorded.

68. The licensing authority may, after giving a reasonable opportunity to the persons who have been recognised as established importers and to whom a quota has been granted, of being heard, cancel or amend the order regarding recognition of new established importer and grant of quota, ii it is found—

(i) that the application for recognition and grant of quota contained any false, fraudulent or misleading information;

(ii) that the evidence tendered by the applicant contained any document which was false or fabricated or had been tampered with;

(iii) that the applicant is guilty of any corrupt Jr fra-adulent practice in respect of his application; and

(iv) that the recognition and the quota has been granted through inadvertence or mistake or due to any fraud or misrepresen- tation

Permission for utilisation of quota licences

68A. Where an import licence has been granted to an established importer and alter the grant of the licence but before its utilisation, there is change in the ownership or constitution or name of the •established importer's business, the new owner of the business or the re- constituted concern etc. as the case may be, cannot utilise the licence, in .question without obtaining a written permission from the licensing authority which granted the licence or from any other person empowered in this behalf by such authority in terms of sub-clause 5(3) of the Imports (Cont- rol) Order, 1955, dated the 7th December, 1955 as amended. In such .cases, an application for obtaining the necessary permission of the authority concerned should be supported by an affidavit of the applicant, sworn before a 1st Oass Magistrate or Notary Public, to the effect that he is the rightful successor of the business for which the licence in question was issued and that, in the event of any mis-statement subsequently detected in this respect, he will be liable to all actions and consequences arising therefrom.

Issue of fresh quota certificates consequent on transfer/division of (quotas

68B. (1) In the event of a change in the ownership or constitution •of a business without any change in the name of the business, where the new owner or the reconstituted concern as the case may be, is not required to apply for TQR, the quota certificates standing in the name of the original concern will be endorsed by the licensing authority concerned indicating therein the nature of the change and the date from which the change has taken place.

(2) If the name of the business changes, the quota certificate will be amended by the licensing authority concerned by changing the name of the established importer's business appearing thereon. An endorsement will also be made on the quota certificate indicating the date from which the change has taken place.

(3) Where a quota has been divided, the quota certificates and their counterfoils standing in the name of the dissolved concern will be cancelled and fresh quota certificates will be issued in the name of the succeeding parties concerned according to share of the quota transferer in their name. A suitable endorsement giving the number and date of the order under which division/transfer has been allowed by the ITC authority con- cerned will also be made on the old and fresh quota certificates and their counterfoils.

(4) The persons concerned should produce the quota certificates to the licensing authority who issued the same, for necessary endorsement/ amendment as indicated above immediately after the change has occurred. In cases where the new owner or the reconstituted concerned is required to apply for TQR, the quota certificates should be produced to the liccmbtf authority concerned for necessary endorsement/amendment immediately after the new owner or the reconstituted concern, as the case may be, has been recognised as an established importer.

CHAPTER IV

ACTUAL USERS (INDUSTRIAL)

69. (1) Definition.—Actual users (industrial) are those who require raw materials, components, accessories, machinery and spare parts for their own use in an industrial manufacturing process.

(2) Categories of actual users.—Broadly, speaking there are three categories, of industrial actual users, viz-, (i) scheduled industries borne on the registers of the Directorate General of Technical Development, (M) scheduled industries not borne on the registers of the Directorate Gene- ral of Technical Development and non-scheduled industries other than small scale industries, and (iii) small scale industries.

Scheduled Industries borne on the registers of the Directorate General

of Technical Development

70. Procedure for submission of applications for raw materials, com- ponents and spares.—(1) Licensing and sponsoring authorities.—Actual users borne on the registers of the Directorate General of Technical Deve- lopment for a particular industry, should, in resptect of goods required fot that industry, apply to the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi, through the Directorate General of Technical Development (Import Cell) in the prescribed form. The envelopes should be superscribed "im- port application" and addressed to the Assistant Director (Import Cell), Directorate General of Technical Development, New Delhi. These appli- cations will be forwarded by the Directorate General of Technical Develop- ment with their recommendations to the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi, for necessary action.

(2) Form of application.—The applications should be made, in dupli- cate, in the prescribed form "C" as given in this Book. (Appendix—3). The applications should be accompanied by:—

(a) Treasury/Bank receipt showing the payment of application fee on the value applied for;

(b) seven copies of the list of items sought to be imported (out of these seven copies, one copy will be returned by the Directorate General of Technical Development to the applicant with such amendments as the Directorate General of Technical Develop- ment may make); If the number of licences to be issued in a particular case is m'ore than one, the licensing authority will require seven copies of the list of goods to be imported against each licence. Therefore, the number of copies of the list of items likely to be required may be calculated by the applicant on the basis of seven copies for each licence of the set of'previ- ous licences issued;

(c) any other document/information considered necessary or re- quired in terms of the provisions of this Book or the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book or any Public Notice/ Tradr Notice issuer! in this regard.

(3) Consolidated applications.—(a) An application for a licence should bu a consolidated application covering the requirements of the unit in respect of raw materials and components required for the particular end-product to which tlie application pertains, but excluding the items licensable by the Iron and Steel Controller. In the case iof units engaged in industries other than the priority industries, the consolidated application should include spare parts also. The units engaged in the priority industries are required to submit separate application for spare parts including spare parts of ma- chine tools. The applicants should make applications after careful con- sideration so that the necessity for applying for a change in the description of items or introducing any new item at a later stage docs not arise. Un- less there are special reasons, the requests for amendment or addition to the list or description of items or value thereof will not be entertained.

(b) In the case of IDA industries (listed in appendix 6 to this book), the applicants should also include the items licensable by the Iron and Steel Controller in their consolidated applications for raw materials and components made to the Chief Controller of Im'ports and Exports, New Delhi through the Directorate General of Technical Development In such cases, no separate applications in respect of items licensable by the Iron and Steel Controller need be made to him.

NOTE.—-Where an actual user has to import goods through different agents by obtaining letters of authority in favour of such agents, the application for licence should be accompanied by separate lists of goods to be imported through each agent. In such cases the actual users can also make separate appli- cations for licences in respect of goods to be Imported by him through different agents.

(4) Code Numbers.—For facility of reference, the Directorate General of Technical Development will allot code numbers to each industrial unit borne on their books. As and when ciode numbers are allotted by the DGTD, the unit should quote its code number in its application for licence and also in all subsequent communications so that cross-referencing is facilitated. In the licensing sections een allotted to a unit by the DGTD, the words "not allotted'' should be written by the applicant against relevant column at the top of the pres- cribed form of application for licence (Form 'C').

(5) Guide-lines for applicants.—The applicants should also observe the following instructions while applying for licences:—

(i) The stocks held and the expected arrivals against licences in hand as on the date of application for licence, should be, indi- cated in the appropriate column in the application for licence;

•ii) Full details of the items applied for and justification for their imports vis-a-vis use of indigenous substitutes, the value/quan- tity in respect of each item and the ITC classification of the items should be invariably indicated in the application fbr licence;

r.iii) Detailed end-use of the raw materials/components applied for should be mentioned in the application;

(iv) The Factory Number and the code number allotted by the Directorate General of Technical Development to the scheduled unit should be given in the relevant columns in the application form;

(v) It should also be indicated in the application whether the applicant has been licensed under the Industries (Develop- ment and Regulation) Act, 1951 and if so, the licence number may be quoted;

(vi) The efforts made for procuring the goods applied for or substitutes thereof from the internal market or indigenous manufacturers and the result of such efforts should also be indicated in the application (the indigenous manufacturers published in the Hand Book of Indigenous manufacturers should be contacted for the supply of articles manufactured by them);

(vii) No application should be made for raw materials etc. required for the manufacture of new items unless a licence for such manufacture has been obtained under the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951 wherever necessary.

Priority industries—Units borne on the books of the DGTD (existing uKs)

71. A list of priority industries is given in Appendix 12. The proce- dure for the grant of import licences to the units engaged in these indus- tries will be as indicated below.

(i) Import of spore parts by priority industries

72. (1) Separate applications for spares.—The units engaged in the priority industries should submit separate applications for import of spare parts. Such applications should be made on annual basis covering the requirements of the units for the full licensing period. There will be no last date for submission of such applications.

(2) Particulars of machinery to be famished.—Applications for im- port of spare parts should be accompanied by a statement indicating all the particulars of the imported machinery as well as the indigenous machinery having imported components, installed or used in the applicant unit, for the maintenance of which the spare parts are sought to be im- ported. A proforma of the statement in which the particulars are to be furnished, is given in Appendix 13.

(3) List of spare parts not necessary.—It will not be necessary for an applicant to furnish a Hst of spare parts to be imported. Import licences for spare parts will be valid for the import of spare parts required for the plant, machinery and equipment installed or used in the licence holder's factory, subject to such restrictions as may be imposed in terms of the re'r;am import policy.

(ii) Import of Raw Materials and components by Priority Industrie!

73. (1) Import applications on consumption basis.—The existing units engaged in the priority industries should make their import applications for raw materials end components, end product-wise, by way of claiming replenishment of imported raw materials and components consumed by the unit within a given period, in accordance with the relevant import policy.

(2) Eligibility to apply.—A unit can apply for licences any time it can show consumption of imported raw materials and components in terms of the policy laid down. The licensing authority will not, however, enter- tain an application for licence from an applicant in whose case the un- utilised value of outstanding licences in hand, on the date of application, Is more than the C.I.F. value of consumption for the replenishment of which the import licence is claimed. The un-utilised value) of licences to be taken into account for this purpose will be the balance value avail- able in the customs copies of licences, reduced by the amount for which firm commitments have been made by opening letters of credit. The appli- cants should, therefore, make their applications for licences only when they are eligible to apply under this provision. There will be no last date for submission of applications.

(3) The condition regarding eligibility stated in sub-para (2) above has been relaxed in reppect of certain machine building industries. The applicants should consult the relevant import policy before applying for licences.

(4) Documentary evidence to be produced.—In support of consump- tion etc., the application for licence should be accompanied by a state- ment, in triplicate, indicating the C.I.F. value of the imported raw materials and components consumed by the unit, the production actually tuned out, the un-utilised value of licences in hand, in the proforma appearing in Appendix 14 duly certified by a Chartered Accountant. The applicant and the Chartered Accountant should ensure that the in- formation given in the statement is complete and accurate. Applications supported by incorrect statements will be liable to be summarily rejected, without prejudice to any other action that may be taken hi tils behalf. Tne licensing auhority may, if necessary, call for further evidence to verify the correctness of the information furnished in the said statement.

(5) One copy of the statement referred to in sub-para (4) above will be retained by the DGTD, and the remaining two copies will be sent to the licensing authority along with the application. The licensing authoritv will send one copy to the Central Excise authority concerned.

Industries other than priority Industries (D.G.T.D. units)

Import of raw materials, components and spares

74. (1) Applications on half-yearly basis.—The units engaged in indus- tries other than the priority industries should make consolidated applications for import of raw materials, components and spares on half-yearly basis.

(2) Eligibility to apply.—(a) The first application in a licensing period should be made, covering six months' requirements, after utilising the previous set of import licences for raw materials, components and spares issued to the unit, to the extent of 90 per cent by way of opening letter of credit, or 60 per cent by way of actual importation, or 70 per cent by shipment of goods.

(b) The second application, covering further requirements for six months, may be made after utilising the import licences issued against the first application upto the extent specified in sub-clause (a) above,

(c) The evidence showing utilisation of the previous set of licences, in the form of original or photostat of the Exchange Control or Customs copy of the licence(s), as the case may be, should be produced. In lieu of exchange control copy of the licence, a certificate from the concerned bank in support of opening of letter of credit may also be acceptable.

(d) There will be no last date for submission of applications.

(3) Lists of items to be imported—The applicant should furnish lists of items of raw materials and components sought to be imported, in the manner laid down in sub-para 70 (2) (b) above.

Processing of applications and basis of licensing

75. (1) The applications for licences received In the Directomte ©eneral of Technical Development without the treasury challan showing the [payment of application fee or where the treasury challan furnished by the applicant is not of the correct amount which the applicant is reqiftwd to pay on the value applied for, niay be returned by the DiroctMKtte General of Technical Development to the applicant indicating to Mm the oonrect amount to bo paid as application fee and advising him to rMgHi- Mit the application with the treasury challan of the requisite amount wMria • specified time.

<2) Acknowledgement by DGTD.—While acknowledging tho appfc.^- tk", the Directorate General of Technical Development will also uxBCum the applicant about the deficiencies in his application. For the purWee of locating the deficiencies in an application, the Directorate Gcfltntt "f Technical Development may also check up whether the I.V.C. No. quoted by the applicant in his application is valid for the, licensing period to wfc"h tJie application pertains; and the deficiency, if any, in the I.V.C. No. ftwy also be communicated by the Directorate General of Technical Devetep- ment to the applicant along with other deficiencies in their acknowtedjje- ment-CMm^deflciency letter. The applicant will be given a specific mne- limil to make up the deficiencies.

<3) Monthly Production returns.—The Directorate General of Techni- oal Development will also check up whether the applicant has furnteh"d to them the complete monthly production returns for the preceding calon- dar year in res'pect of the industrial unit to which the application for licence pertains.

(4) Basis oi recommendation.—-The recommendations for grant or refusal of licences will be made by the Directorate General of Technical Development on the basis of (i) foreign exchange availability or availability of other monetary ceilings (ii) availability of the goods applied for from indigenous sources or other commercial channels, (iii) essentiality of the {goods applied for, (iv) stocks in hand and expected arrivals, (v) past imports and past consumption of the jtem(s), in questions, by the applicant, (vi) actual production during the preceding period, (vii) estimated production and (viii) other factors considered relevant and necessary in terms of the policy in force. In his recommendation for the licence, the DGTD will indicate a separate allocation for raw materials and components, and a separate allocation for spares.

(5) Attestation of list of goods by DGTD.—The recommendation of the Directorate General of Technical Development will be forwarded to the CCI&E, along with one copy of the application for licence in each case and the treasury cnallan furnished by the party. Five copies of the list of goods recommended for import by the Directorate General of Technical Develop- ment including one copy of the list duly attested by them, will also be sent to the CCI&E along with the recommendation in all cases. The Directorate General of Technical Development will also send a copy of their recommendation to the applicant, returning to him there- with one copy of the Hst of goods applied for with such changes ai may be made by them in the list. If an applicant has furnished more copies of the list of items sought to be imported, depending upon th* number of licences to be issued against the application, the extra copiei sent by the applicant will also be forwarded by the D.G.T.D. to the C.C.I, & E. with the application for licence. If more than one licence is recommended against an application, and the applicant has not furnished the required number of copies of the list of items to be im- ported, the D.G.T.D., while sending a eddy of their recommendation to the applicant, will inform bim to send the required number of copies of the list of items to the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports direct. The number of copies of the list of items likely to be required may be calculated on the basis of seven copies for each licence to be issued.

(6) Processing in licensing office.—On receipt of the import application and the recommendation from the DGTD, the licensing authority will oheck up the TVC Number, treasury challan and other procedural point! relating to the import trade control rules and regulations. If the application is found to be in order, the licence will be issued or refused, aa the case may be, based on the recommendation of the Directorate General of Technical Development.

(7) Consolidated licences.—Import licences will be consolidated one*, covering the requirements of the applicant unit in respect of raw materials and components required for a particular end-product. In the case of units, engaged in industries other than priority industries, the requirements Ett respect of spare parts will also be included in the consolidated licence. In the case of units engaged in priority industries, however, separate import licences for spares will be issued in terms of the policy in force. Where consolidated licences for raw materials, components and spares are issued, the licensing authority may show the value separately for (\) raw materials and components and (ii) spares. Tn r-nch an erent, it will not be open I*

a licensee to divert any portion of the allocation for spare parts for the import of raw materials and components, unless otherwise provided in paragraph 84 in this book, or on the import licence concerned.

(8) Intimation to sponsoring authority.—(a) Where the licensing authority does not, for any reason, accept the advice/recommendation of the Directorate General of Technical Development in its entirety, necessary intimation to this effect will be given to the DGTD.

(b) Copies of the forwarding letters with which licences are sent to the applicants, will be endorsed by the licensing authority to the DGTD. In the subject matter of the letter in question, the 'end-product' will also be indicated. Similarly, inl the case of rejection letters, copies of the rejection letters will be endorsed to the DGTD.

(9) Cases In which separate licences will be issued.—Instead of issuing consolidated licences, the licensing authority will issue separate import licences in the following types of cases:—

(a) where the goods are sought to be imported by the, actual user through different agents on the basis of letters of authority;

(b) where the mode of payment i8 different, such as free foreign exchange, AID, rupee, etc.;

(c) where the goods are to be imported through different ports.

Note : In the case of priority industries, these will be separate applications and separate licences for import of spare parts.

(10) Restrictions on remtttances/atiUsailon of licences.—The licensing authority may impose on a licence for raw materials, components and spares, such condition or restrictions as it may consider necessary, regarding utilisa- tion or remittances.

(11) Amendment.—The requests for amendment of licences should also be routed through the Directorate General of Technical Develop- ment and such requests will be considered by the licensing authority on the recommendation of the Directorate General of Technical Development. However, requests for amendment of minor nature i.e. those not involving change in the value or items, will be entertained direct by the licensing authority.

(12) Revalidarion.—The procedure for making applications for revalidation of licences is given in Chapter XT of this book.

76 (1) Classification into two groups.—For the purpose of import applications for raw materials, components and spares, the actual users excluding small-scale units, not borne on the books of the D.G.T.D., for the particular end-product, have been classified into two groups, namely, (i) units sponsored by the States Directors of Industries, or State Drugs Controllers, and (ii) those looked after bv other sponsoring authorities.

(2) (a) In the case of units falling in group (i) in sub-para (1) above, whether engaged in priority industries listed in Appen- dix 12 or other industries, the procedure will be the same as for the S.S.I., units indicated separately in this chapter.

(b) In the case of units falling In group (ii) in sub-para (1) above, whether engaged in priority industries listed in Appendix 12 or other industries, the procedure for submission of applica- tions and grant of licences will be the same as for the D.G.T.D., units indicated sperately in this chapter. The ap- plications for import licences should be made by such units, to the licensing authorities concerned through the respective sponsoring authorities.

(3) Application form.—The import applications should be made, in duplicate, in the prescribed form 'B' given in this book. It is an applica- tion-cum-recommendation form. Where an import application is required to be made through the sponsoring authority, the sponsoring authority will give its recommendation in Part HI of the application form, and will, thereafter, forward the application to the licensing authority concerned for necessary action.

(4) Applications for licences should be accompanied by:—

(a) treasury/bank receipt showing the payment of application fee

on the value applied for;

(7) Consolidated applications.—An application for a licence should be 'Oenaoudated application covering the requirements of the unit in respect of i"w materials and components required for the particular end-product t" which the application pertains, but excluding the items liccnsable by tHe Iron and Steel Controller, or an item for which import licensing has be*i centralized with any particular licensing authority. In the case of I.DA. industries, the consolidated application should also Include items liccnsable •by the Iron and Steel Controller. In the case of units engaged hi industries other than the priority industries, the consolidated application should ta elude spare parts also. The units engaged in the priority industries are re- quired to submit separate application for spare parts including spare parta .of machine tools. The applicants should make applications after carefifl consideration go that the necessity for applying for a change in the descrip- tion of items or introducing any new item at a later stage does not arise. Unless there are special reasons, the requests for amendment or addition to Hi© Ust or description of items or value thereof will not be entertained.

NOTE:—Where an actual user has to import goods through different agents by obtaining letters of authority in favonr of such agents, the appli- cation for licence should be accompanied by separate lists of goods to be imported through each agent. In such cases the actual user oan also make separate applications for licences in respect of goods to be imported by him through different agents.

(b) A form of application for registration is given in Appendix 16. the sponsoring authority may also call for any additional information from the •applicant for considering his application for registration.

(cj (The Registration Number allotted to the unit by the sponsoring authority should be quoted in the import application, (For the period April 1968—March 1969 applications for licences will be entertained without a Registration Number quoted therein).

Processing of applications and basis of licensing

77. (1) Scrutiny of sponsoring authority.—In cases where applications for licences are required to be made through the sponsoring authorities, the sponsoring authority will send to the applicant an acknowledgement of the application, also indicating therein the deficiencies in the application. For the purpose of locating deficiencies in the application, the sponsoring authority will also check up the I.V.C. No. and the treasury challan furnished by the applicant showing the payment of application fee. In regard to the I.V.C. number, the sponsoring authorities will check up whether the number quoted by the applicant^ valid for the licensing period to which the application pertains.

Of these 4 copies, one copy will be sent by him to tho applicant, one will be rttalnott in his own office , and two copies will be sent by him to the licendaf authority concerned along with one copy of the application and tho treasury challan furnished by the party. The lists of items will also be sent by tke sponsoring authority duly attested by him. In his recommendation for the licence, the sponsoring authority will indicate a separate value of raw materials and components, and a separate value for spares.

(3) Scrutiny by licensing authority.—On receipt of the application. Ihe licensing authority will check up the I.V.C, No., the Treasury Challao and other procedural points as required in terms of the Import Trade Control Rules and Regulations. The deficiencies, if any, found therein wiJl be communicated to the applicant giving him a specified time limit to make up the deficiencies. In the case of applications found to be in order, the licensing authority |will proceed to consider the case on merits on the basis of the certified requirements having regard to the following:—

(i) availability of foreign exchange or other monetary ceilings.

(ii) the stocks held and expected arrivals against the licences in hand as on the date of application for licence.

(iii) the quantity of goods or its substitutes likely to be made avail- able through indigenous sources or other commercial channels;

(iv) past imports/past consumption of the item in question by the applicant;

(v) the actual production during the preceding period and the estimated production, and

(vi) any fall in production on account of circumstances such as break- down of machinery, labour relations, want of funds, etc.

(vii) other factors considered relevant and necessary in terms of the policy in force.

(4) Consolidated licences.—Import licences issued for raw materials, components and spares will be consolidated licences except that in the fol- lowing types of cases, separate licences will be issued:—

through different agents on the basis of letters of authority;

(b) Where the mode of payment is different, such as free foreign exchange, AID and rupee etc.

(c) Where the goods are to be imported through different ports.

NOTE:—In the case of priority industries there will be separate applications and separate licences for import of spare parts.

(5) Inttatttions to sponsoring anthorttiea.—In all cases, the ttceofuig authorities will send intimation to the sponsoring authorities concerned regarding the grant or refusal of import licences to idividual units. The letters endorsod to the sponsoring authorities in this regard will also indi- cate the name of the end-product. In the case of I.D.A. Industrie*, a separate intimation of the licence issued will be endorsed to the concerned office in the Iron & Steel Controller's organisation.

(6) Restrictions on remittances/utilisation of licences.—The licensing authority may impose on a licence for raw materials, components and spares, such conditions or restrictions as it may consider necessary, regard- ing utilisation or remittances.

(7) Amendment.—The requests for amendment in the value or the items permitted in the licence should also be made to the licensing authority concerned through the appropriate sponsoring authority. However, the requests for amendment of minor nature i.e. those not involving change in the value of items will be entertained direct by the licensing authority.

(8) Revalidatlon.—The procedure for making applications for revalida- tion of licences is given in Chapter XI of this book.

SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES

78. Definition of Small Scale Industries.—(1) Small Scale Industries will include all industrial units with a capital investment of not more than Rs. 7.50 lakhs irrespective of the number of persons employed. Capital investment for the purpose of this definition will mean investment in plant and machinery only. When calculating the value of plant and machinery, the original price paid by the owner, irrespective oi whether the plant and machinery are new or second-hand, will be taken into account.

(2) Ancillary units.—In the case of ancillary units engaged in industries listed in Appendix 17, the capital investment limit of Rs. 7-50 lakhs referred to in sub-para (1) of this paragraph has been relaxed and raised up to Rs. 10 lakhs. Therefore, such units having fixed assets up lo Rs. 10 lakhs instead of Rs. 7-50 lakhs, will also be covered by the definition of small scale industries. Amongst these industries, an ancillary unit will be a unit which produces parts, components, sub-assemblies and tooling for supply against known or anticipated demand of one or more large units manufac- turing/assembling complete products, and which is not a subsidiary to or controlled by any large units in regard to the negotiation of contracts for supply of its goods to any large unit. This shall not, however, preclude an ancillary unit from entering into an agreement with a large unit giving it the first option to take the former's output. The units which are set up primarily for replacement market will also fall within the scope of this criteria. The units manufacturing tools, jigs and fixtures will also be re- cognised as ancillary units.

(3) The procedure for submission of import applications for raw materials, components and spares, applicable to small scale units, will also apply to such of the non-S.S.I. units as are looked after by State Direc- tors of Industries or State Drugs Controllers. The flat rate of application fees prescribed for small scale units will not, however, apply to such units.

Procedure tor submission of applications for raw materials,

components and spare parts.

79. (1) Licensing authorities.—The licensing authority concerned in the case of small scale industrial units will be the regional licensing authority in whose territorial jurisdiction the factory of the actual user is located irrespective of the fact whether the licensing in respect of any item applied for is centralised with any particular licensing authority. The licences for import from rupee payment area to the small scale unit will also be issued by the concerned regional licensing authority. However, in the case of textile engineering industries, hosiery and powerlooms in the small scale sector, the licensing authority will be the Joint Chief Controller of Im- ports and Exports, Bombay,

(2) Sponsoring authorities.—The sponsoring authority in the case of small scale industrial units is the respectives State Director of Industries.

•xcept that in the case of the following industries in the small scale sector, the sponsoring authorities will be as indicated against each :—

This is an appli- cation-ewm-recommendation Form, having three Parts. Parts I & II are to be filled in by the applicant. Part in will contain the recommendation of the sponsoring authority, and it will be filled in by the sponsoring autho- rity ic cases where applications for Import licences are required to be nride through such authorities.

(4) Applications for licences should be submitted in the prescribed form. Only one copy of the application should be submitted, except that, in cases where an application is required to be made through the sponsor- ing authority, it should be sent in duplicate. The applicants should give, in their import applications, full details of the goods applied for, their ITC classification, the value/quantity in respect of each item and the end use for which the goods are required. The application should be accompanied with the following:

(i) Treasury Challan/Receipt of Rs. 50/- towards application fees, irrespective of the value of goods applied for.

(ii) Required number of copies of the list of items sought to be imported as indicated in sub paragraph 70(2)(b).

(iii) Any other documents/information considered necessary or required in terms of the provisions of this Book or the relevant Import Trade Control Policy Book or any Public Notice/ Trade Notice issued in this regard.

(5) Consolidated applications.—An actual user in the small scale sector should make a consolidated application covering the requirements of the unit in respect of raw materials and components required for the particular end-product to which the application pertains, but excluding the items liccnsable by the Iron and Steel Controller. In the case of I.D.A, industries, the consolidated application should also include items licensabk by the Iron and Steel Controller. In the case of units engaged in indus- tries other than the priority industries, the consolidated application should include spare parts also. The units engaged in the priority industries are required to make separate applications for spare parts including spare parts of machine tools. The applicants should make applications after careful consideration so that the necessity for applying for a change in the description of items or introducing any new item at a later stage does- not arise. Unless there are special reasons, the request for an amendment or addition to the list or description of items or value thereof, will not be entertained.

Note.—Where an actual user has to import goods through different Agents by obtaining Letters of Authority issued in favour of such Agents, the applications for licence should be accom- panied by separate lists of goods to be imported through each Agent, In such cases, an actual user can also make separate applications for licences in respect of goods to be imported by him through different Agents.

NEW UNITS

(Both In the large and the small scale sectors)

82. (1) Definition.—The new units are those to whom no import licences for raw materials, components and spares have been issued for the licensing periods April 1966—March 1967 and April 1967—March 1968, and who have either got the requisite machinery installed, or have made firm arrangements for machinery and premises and power supply, where necessary.

(2) New Units (Priority industries).—(a) The new units, both in the large and the small scale sectors, should make their first and second import applications for raw materials and components in a licensing period, through the sponsoring authority concerned, each covering their requirements for six months. Subsequent applications can be made by them on the basis of actual consumption, in the same manner as has been laid down (or the existing units engaged in the priority industries.

(b) In the case of proposed units, the sponsoring authority will re- commend a licence against the second application only after the unit has gone into production.

(e) Applications for import of spare parts should be made by such units through the sponsoring authorities concerned.

(3) New Units (Industries other than priority industries.—(a) The new units pertaining to this category, both in large and the small scale sectors, should make consolidated import applications for raw materials, components and spares to the licensing authorities concerned through the sponsoring authorities concerned.

(b) The small scale units and such of the inon-SSI units as are spon- sored by the State Directors of Industries or State Drugs Controllers, and who have the requisite machinery installed, should make their import appli- cations on annual basis, while the other units, including the proposed units, should apply on a half-yearly basis. The second application from such units can be made after the unit has utilised the licences issued against the first application up to the extent specified for the existing units. In the case of proposed units, the sponsoring authority will recommend a licence against the second application only after the unit has gone into production.

(4) In order to discourage new industries for the manufacture of items for which adequate capacity exists in the country and to ensure rational growth, the sponsoring authority will not recommend a licence on an appli- cation from a new unit for the import of materials .'required for the manu- facture of an end-product which is banned in terms fo the relevant policy in force from time to time.

Registration of small scale industries

83. (1) A Scheme for the registration of Small Scale Industries was introduced in the year I960. Under the scheme, all the Small Scale In- dustries consuming imported raw materials and components, non-ferrous metals and steel items were required to got themselves registered with the respective State Directors of Industries by the 31st March, 1961.

(2) The Registration number •allotted to the Small Scale Industries under the scheme is required to be quoted by them in their •application for Import licences or for allotment of non-ferrous metals and steel. In the absence of the Registration Number, the application is liable to be sum- marily rejected.

(3) The State Directors of Industries should send to the regional licens- ing authority concerned, a copy of the Registration Certificate issued to a small scale unit. Also, intimations in regard to the cancellation of S-S.L. Registration Numbers, or of any amendments therein, should simultaneously be intimated by the State Directors of Industries to tho licensing authorities concerned.

Conversion of actual user licences for raw materials, components, spares

and non-ferrous metals for importing steel and vice versa

85. (1) With a view to providing greater flexibility to actual users (scheduled and non-scheduled industries including small scale) in the utili- sation of foreign exchange, the holders of actual user licences for raw mate- rials, components, spares, non-ferrous metals and steel issued against free foreign exchange may, in their discretion, utilise their licences in the manner indicated below:—

(i) the licensee may import steel against his import licence for raw materials, components spares and non-ferrous metals, within the face value of the licence, provided that the item to be im- ported is that tor which the licensee holds a valid actual user import licence at the tune of shipment of the goods, subject to the following further conditions:—

Minimum value of yV.U. licences and import through States-sponsored

Corporations.

87. (1) In order that it may not be uneconomical for the licensees ii* the small scale sector to effect imports against small value licences, it has- been decided that no direct import licence will be issued in favour of an actual user applicant in the small scale sector where the entitlement of the actual user, against an import application, under the import policy in force works out to less than Rs. '> 1,000/-. The import requirements- of such units will be pooled and imports will be arranged in bulk through. State-sponsored Corporations.

(2) In respect of the requirements which are thus pooled through the¹ State-sponsored Corporation, the Corporation will be required to make an import application in its own name to the licensing authority concernedS through the sponsoring authority, accompanied by:—

(i) a statement giving the 'particulars of units (name and address of the unit, end-product and the value of its entitlement whose requirements are pooled through the Corporation.

(ii) an undertaking on a plain paper from each of the units con- cerned to the effect that the imported goods will be utilised by it in its own factory, for the purpose for which the import is required.

(iii) treasury challan showing the payment of application fee on the:

value applied for.

(iv) any other document that may be necessary under the policy in force.

(3) Import licences issued to the Corporations in such cases, will be subject to the condition inter-alia, that the imported goods shall be- distributed by the licensee to the small scale units whose particulars are shown in the relevant import application, for use in their respective factories.

(4) The provisions made in this paragraph will not apply to licences issued to actual users under the import policy for Registered Exporters.

(5) The provisions made in this paragraph will also not apply in cases where the value of the licence issued to an actual user is less than Rs. 1,000 on account of more than one licence to be issued to enable the- applicant to import goods through different agents or at different ports.

Co-operative Societies engaged in Industrial Production

88. (1) For the purpose of these provisions, a Co-operative Society will mean any Co-operative Society registered under the Co-operative Societies Act, applicable to the State where the Society is situated, and includes Co-operative Societies undertaking production or service, activities.

(2) A Co-operative Society may either be engaged in providing 'services'¹ to its members who undertake production on their own account, or it may itself be engaged in industrial production.

(3) Co-operative Societies undertaking services on behalf of their Members who are engaged in production on their own account.—(a) A Co-operative Society can apply for import of raw materials, components, and spares on behalf af its member units engaged in industrial produc- tion in their respective factories/workshops. The procedure, for submis- sion of application will be the same as applicable to other actual users.

(b) The import application should be supported by a statement indicat- ing the particulars of each member unit of the Society and the import re- quirements of each unit in respect of a particular end-product. It should also be supported by an undertaking on a plain paper from each member unit of the, Society to the effect that the imported goods supplied to it shall be used by it in its factory/workshop and n0 portion thereof shall be sold to or permitted to be utilised by any other party.

(c) In cases where import applications are required to be made through the sponsoring authorities, the State Registrar of Co-operative Societies will act as the sponsoring authority if he is in-charge of the development of the Society; and the, applications in such cases can be made through him.

The amount of application fees to be paid should be calculated ou the total value applied for in accordance with the prescribed scale of fees, and not in relation to the requirements of each member unit separately.

(e) The applicant Society will be required to furnish valid IVC Regis- tration/Exemption Number in its own name, but import licences will be- issued for one year in anticipation of the production of such number. It will not be necessary for the Society to furnish IVC Number pertaining to its individual members.

(f) While considering the application, the licensing authority will cal^ culate the entitlement of each member unit of the Society separately; and the value of the licence to be issued to the Society will be equal to the aggregate value of all the licences which could have been issued to the individual member units had they applied separately.

(P) Imlport licences issued in such cases will be subject to the condi- tions:inter-alia,'that the goods imported under the licence shall be distri- buted by the licensee Society to its members, whose names and addresses have been shown in the relevant import application and such goods shall be used in the factories of the members concerned, for the purpose for which import has been allowed, and no portion thereof shall be sold to or

^permitted to be utilised by any other party. The member unit shall main- tain proper account of consumption of imported materials in the prescribed manner.

The gloods so 'processed in another factory shall, however, be utilised in the manufacturing processes undertaken by the licensee. The licensee shall maintain a proper account of consumption and utilization of the goods imported against the licence in the prescribed manner."

(2) It has been decided that in the case of pharmaceutical units not borne on the registers of the Directorate General of Technical Develop- ment, the "loan licensees" under the Drugs Act, who are permitted to get their drugs processed by other factories licensed under the Dr"g8 Act, should continue to get actual user licences for their raw materials if other- wise permissible. Such licences will not bear the condition regarding utilisation of the imported raw materials in tha factory of the licensee and a suitable endorsement will be made on such licences permitting the "loan licensees" to get their goods processed in factories licensed under the Drugs Act.

(3) The above condition will be in addition to any other conditions imposed or deemed to have been imposed on each licence under Claus© 5 of the Imports (Control) Order 1955 dated 7th December, 1955.

(2) Import applications for emergency spares should be made in the •simplified application form prescribed for this purpose (Form 'L'), appear- ing in Appendix—3.

(3) Applications for import of emergency spares need not be routed through the sponsority authorities. The applicants should produce a certi- ficate from a qualified engineer of a production machinery to the effect that the spare parts applied for are required on immediate basis to over- come an emergency breakdown or a breakdown which is unavoidable for technical reasons in the course of the next one month. In the case of small -scale units, who are not in a position to produce a certificate from a quali- fied engineer, a certificate issued to them by small Industries Service Institute may also be accepted.

(4) The applicants should indicate in their import applications the country from which the original equipment was imported as also the country from which the spare parts are sought to be imported. TJie application should be boldly stamped on top in red ink as "Application for Emergency Spares . The envelope should also be similarly stamped. There is no last date for submission of such applications.

(5) The maximum value limit upto which import licences under this provision may be issued to a unit in the course of a licensing period will be as under:—

Attention of the actual users is drawn to the- condition applicable to A.U. licences, to the effect that the goods shall be utilised in the licence holder's factory only for the purpose for which they are imported, and no portion thereof shall be sold to or permitted to be utilised by any other 'party. Steps are taken to ensure that this condition is strictly complied with. If any licensee infringes the aforesaid condition, no further assistance will be given to him for the import of goods in the category of actual users, without prejudice to any other action which may be taken against him under the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 and the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, dated 7th December, 1955.

(2) Similarly, where any imported goods are allotted to an actual user -through the State Trading Corporation of India or any other recognised agency for use in the actual user's factory, it will not be open to the actual user concerned to divert such goods to other channels/uses or to allow any other party to utilise the said goods. If any actual user is found to have misused the goods so allotted to him, no further assistance will be given to him or any allotment made to him in future, without prejudice to any other action which may be taken against him under the Imports and Exports (Control) "Act, 1947 and the Order made thereunder.

(3) Licensees to maintain account of consumption.—The actual user should maintain a proper account of the consumption and utilisation of Uhe imported goods in the prescribed proforma as given in Appendix 19 to this book. In the event of his failure to maintain proper account in this manner in respect of any goods imported against actual user licences or allotted to the actual users from the State Trading Corporation of India etc., the applications for issue of further licences or allotments will be .liable to rejection without prejudice to any other action that may be taken against him. It will be the responsibility of the actual user to satisfy the sponsoring as well as licensing authorities that he has maintained a proper .account of consumption and utilisation of the imported materials and has fully complied with the conditions subject to which the imports or allot- -ments of imported goods were allowed to him.

(4) Check by sponsoring authorities.—The Directors of Industries and other sponsoring authorities will check up whether the imported material thas been properly utilised by the licensee. In cases involving contravention of conditions of licences or allotments of imported goods, the reports will be sent by the Directors of Industries and other sponsoring authorities to t he licensing authorities concerned to enable the latter to initiate action against the parties concerned. For this purpose it is essential for all actual users wishing to take advantage of the import of goods as raw materials, components, spare parts, accessories, or machineries, etc., to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of stocks, procurement and consumption of articles used by them in their industrial undertakings as provided in sub-para (3) above.

•Change in the name, constitution or ownership of actual user's business

93. (1) No approval of the Import Control authorities is necessary for -effecting a change in the name, constitution or ownership- of an actual user's "business.

(2) However, the import licences being non-transferable except under and in accordance with the written permission of the licensing authority which granted the licence or of any other person empowered in this behalf by such authority, and in view of the specific conditions regarding the use •of imported materials as imposed on the licences granted to actual users, the following principles will apply in the event of the changes mentioned '•in sub-para (1) above :—

(a) Change of name.—Where an import licence has been issued to an actual user and before the importation of the goods against the said licence, there is a change in the name of

the licensee actual user s manufacturing business without any change in the ownership of factory for which the said licences was issued, the licence holder can utilise the licence and im- port the goods tor use in the factory in accordance with tne conditions of the licence, after getting the business name of the licensee amended on the licence in question. The change in. name should also be intimated immediately by the actual user licensee to the sponsoring authorities concerned whether such change takes place before or after the importation of the goods.

(b) Change in constitution or ownership.—(i) Where an import licence has been issued to an actual user and before the im- portation of the goods against the said licence there is a change in the constitution/ownership of the licensee actual user's manufacturing business/factory, the reconstituted con- cern or the new owner of the business as the case may be,, not being the licence holder, cannot operate upon the said? licence unless the licence is also transferred in his favour. In such cases, the old and the new owners of the factory for which the licence was issued, should make a joint application* to the licensing authority concerned for permission to transfer the licence in favour of the reconstituted concern or the new owner in terms of sub-clause 5(3) (i) of the Imports (Con- trol) Order, 1955, dated the 7th December, 1955. The ap- plication should be supported by documentary evidence show- ing the transfer of the business/factory and the particulars of the established importer quotas, if any, possessed by the new owner. The licensing authority will consider the appli- cation for transfer of licence and grant the transfer in favour of the reconstituted concern or the new owner provided the reconstituted concern or the new owner of the factory is not suspended/debarred from the grant of the licence in ques- tion under the provisions of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, dated the 7th December, 1955 and is otherwise eligible to the licence under the provision for established importer^ cwm-manufacturers given in chapter XVII in this book. After the written permission of the licensing authority, the recon- situted concern or the new owner will be entitled to operate- upon the licence. If, hi such a case, the name or the busi- ness mentioned in the licence has also undergone a change, the licensing authority while permitting the transfer, will also amend the name of the licence holder in the licence. The necessary intimation about the transfer will be sent to the sponsoring authority concerned.

(ii) If the change in constitution/ownership referred to in sub- para (i) above takes place after the importation of the goods against the said licence, the imported goods become part of the assets of the licensee actual user's manufacturing busi- ness/factory and they should be transferred by the licence- holder along with his manufacturing business/factory to the- reconstituted concern or the new owners as the case may be. The licensee should also give necessary intimation-. about the transfer to the licensing authority who had issued!!

the licence against which the goods in question were imported and also to the sponsoring authority who had recommended the licence so that they may be hi a position to watch proper utilisation of the imported goods hi the factory for which. me import licence was issued.

(c) Division of business.—(i) Where an import licence has been granted to an actual user, and before the importation of the goods against the said licence, there is a division of the factory amongst the partners of the business, and the name of the business/factory as appearing in the licence is retained by one of the succeeding "parties or none of them is allowed to use such name, the succeeding parties, not being the licenee holders, cannot operate upon the said licence. In such cases also, joint application by all the succeeding parties should be- made to the licensing authority concerned for re-issue of separate licences in their favour, in lieu of the original licence,- in proportion to the portion of the factory taken over by each- succeeding party, supported by documentary evidence show- ing the division of the business/factory and particulars of the- established importer quota, if any, possessed by the succeed- ing parties. The licensing authority will consider the appli- cation in the same manner as to the case referred to in sub- para (b)(i) above and licences, if admissible, will be issued" to the succeeding parties for the proportionate values as in- dicated above. The original licence surrendered by the parties will be retained by the licensing authority and cancelled. The necessary intimation will be sent about this to the spon- soring authority concerned.

(ii) If the division of the factory as referred to in sub-para (i) above, takes place after the importation of the goods- against the said licence, the imported goods become part of the assets of the factory and they should be divided by the succeeding parties amongst themselves proportionate- to the portion of the factory taken over by them under intimation to the licensing and sponsoring authority con- cerned so that they may be in a position to ensure proper utilisation of the imported goods by each of the succeeding- units in the factory taken over by them from the original concern.

(3) The applications for transfer in pursuance of the provisions of sub-paras 2(b)(i) and 2(c)(i)' should be made to the licensing- authority who had issued the licence against which the goods in question were imported and such application should be made through the sponsoring authority who had recommended the licence.

(4) If, as a result of the change in the constitution or ownership of a manufacturing business or division of manufacturing business, referred to in sub-para (2) of this paragraph, an existing manufacturing unit takes over either whole or part of any manufacturing business and the installed capacity of the existing units for the manufacture of any parti- cular end-product is increased thereby, then in such cases, the existing nnit should take over the manufacturing business in pursuance of the

provisions of sub-para (2) of this paragraph only with the approval of Xhe sponsoring authority concerned. The concerned sponsoring authority in such a case will be the sponsoring authority connected with the manu- lacturing business whoso installed capacity is going to be increased. In such cases, the application for transfer made to the licensing authority under sub-paras 2(b) (i) and 2(c)(i) of this paragraph should also be supported by the recommendation of such concerned sponsoring authority,

(5) It may be clarified that the provisions of sub-paras (1) to (4) of this paragraph are applicable to cases where there is a change in the name, constitution or ownership of the manufacturing business/factory of an actual user concern or where there is a division of the manufac- turing business/factory. These provisions have, no application in cases where a part of the factory, or imported machinery, is sold by an actual user or where imported raw materials/components/spares arc sold by an actual user without sellings away his manufacturing business/factory for which the materials in question were allowed to be imported. Such sales of part of factory or imported machinery, or imported raw materials/ components/spares, amount to violation of conditions subject to which licences are granted to actual users. Therefore, the actual user should obtain the prior written permission of the Import Trade Control Autho- rity of such sale explaining the circumstances in which the necessity of safe has arisen. In such cases, the, imported goods will have to be sold by the actual user in favour of a party nominated by the Import Trade Control Authority and at the price fixed by him.

(6) The provisions made in this paragraph will also apply to import licences issued to actual users under the import policy for Registered Exporters.

(ii) A certificate from a qualified engineer to the effect that the particular machine or part thereof is considered unfit for use in the aiain plant etc. for which it was intended.

But in cases of genuine hardship, the licensing authority may issue the licence, if otherwise admissible, even in respect of goods which are not licensable to the class of importer concerned at the time of issue of the licence, provided the original import was made during the, same licensing period in which the replacement licence is issued or during the immediately preceding period.

Note No. 1.—The date of original import for the purpose of this para- graph will also be the same as indicated in paragraph 35 of this book.

Note No. 2.—The restriction on the issue of replacement licences indicated in this paragraph will also apply to the requests for revalidation of licences being considered in terms of *para 229 of this book.

CHAPTER XI

PERIOD OF VALIDITV AND REVALIDATION OF LICENCES

Period of validity

236. (1) The period of validity (i.e., tha period of shipment/despatch) of import licences in respect of various items or categories of importers will be 12 months, unless otherwise provided.

(2) In the case of consolidated licences for raw materials, components and spares issued to actual users, the validity period of the licence will also be 12 months unless otherwise provided.

(3) The licences granted under the import policy for registered ex- porters will normally be valid for a period of 12 months.

(4) The initial period of validity of C.G./H.E.P. licences other than those against "tied credits" or foreign aid will be two years.

(5) The initial period of validity of licences for Machine Tools covered by C.G. Scheme, will be the same as for C.G. licences.

(6) The initial period of validity of licences granted for the import of equipment for irrigation projects will be one year. Where documentary evidence is produced with the application for licence to show that firm order for the goods has been placed and accepted by the foreign suppliers, the licensing authority will issue such licences with a maximum validity period of three years.

(7) The period of validity of licences for the import of goods required to fulfil D.G.S. & D. and Railway contracts, will be in accordance with the recommendation of the D.G.S.&D./Railway Liaison Officer.

(8) The initial validity period of a Customs Clearance Permit will be four months,

(9) The initial validity period in respect of emergency licences for Import of spares, issued to actual users, will be six months.

(10) The initial validity period in respect of replacement licences/ CCPs. will be six months.

(11) The initial period of validity of import licences issued against various credits may vary according to the terms and conditions of the credit concerned.

Date of shipment/despatch

237. (1) Imports by sea.—In the case of shipments against import licences, made by sea, the date of shipment of goods will be determined by the date on the Bill of Lading which generally shows the date on which the goods have actually been loaded ion the ship.

NOTE.—A Bill of Lading is a document for the carriage of goods and it is, therefore, a contract starting from the time when the goods are received on board the ship. When the goods are actually placed on board the shipi the mate's receipt is issued which is a temporary receipt issued by an officer of the Vessel on behalf of the mate. Bills of Lading are prepared from the mate's receipt and the Bills of Lading may or may not show the exact date on which the goods have actually been placed on the ship, Sometimes the Bills of Lading bear two endorsements namely (i) Received for shipment and (ii) Shipment in good condition and order. The dates stamped against the aforesaid two endorsements, at times, differ. In such cases, the date shown against the endorsement No. (ii) above, i.e., shipped in good condition and order, appearing on the Bill of Lading, will be accepted as the date of ship- ment. However, it will not be binding on the Customs au- thorities that this date should necessarily be accepted as the date of shipment. Where the Customs authorities have any doubt, it will be open to them to find out the actual date of shipment by other means, i.e., from the report of Chief Officer of the ship and tally report of the ship etc.

(2) Imports by air.^—In the case of imports by air, the date of air consignment note will normally be taken as the date of despatch of the goods, provided this date represents the date on which goods are despatch- ed from the last airport hi the country.

NOTE.—In cases where a doubt is felt whether the goods have been placed on the aircraft on the date as given in the consignment note, it will be open to the Customs authorities to seek further information such as the actual date of departure of the plane, the time of stay at the foreign airpoi*, of loading etc., to deter- mine the actual date of despatch.

(3) Imports by post parcel.—In the case of post parcels, the date stamp of the office of despatch shown on the packets or despatch note is considered as the date of despatch of foreign parcels.

(4) Imports from land-locked countries.—In the case of imports from land-locked countries, such as Czechoslovakia and Switzerland which have no sea port of their own, the date of shipment will be the date of actual despatch of the goods by rail or road or any other recognised mode of transport from the country of origin of the goods to the consignee in India •an 'through consignment' basis.

NOTE NO. I:—A through Bill of Lading tallying in all material parti- culars and giving evidence of no undue delay by halts or of journey, will normally constitute sufficient proof of a 'through consignment'.

NOTE NO. II:—This concession will be applicable 'only in the case of imports from land-locked countries and not from countries which have sea ports of their own. However, it has been re- presented that even though East Germany has ports capable of taking ships with deep sea draught but for certain specific

difficulties she is not in a position now to induce ocean goings freighters of other countries to call at her ports. Therefore,, the date of issue ef cross border certificate issued by the Ger- man Democratic Republic niay be taken as the 'Date of Shipment' in the case of imports from East Germany.

Validity of import licences to cover imports

238. (1) Validity is related to date of shipment/despatch.—The validity^ of an import licence is decided with reference to the date of actual ship- ment/despatch of the goods from the supplying country and not the date of arrival of the goods at an Indian port. If the goods are shipped or des- patched within the period of validity of the licence, they will be allowed to- be cleared even if they arrive at an Indian port after the expiry of the licence. On the other hand, if the goods are shipped or despatched before the date on which the licence is issued, the import will be treated as un- authorised even though the importer holds a licence on the date of arrival' of goods, at an Indian port. Similarly the goods shipped or despatched¹.: after the expiry of the period of validity of the licence will also be un- authorised. Importers should, therefore, see and satisfy themselves that: they hold a valid licence on the date on which the goods sought to be im- ported are shipped/despatched by the suppliers.

(2) Where the date of expiry of an import licence falls before the last date of a month, the licence will automatically be valid to cover shipments made upto the end of that month. Also, hi calculating the period of validity of a licence the date of issue of the licence is excluded. For instance, if a licence is issued on 10th November 1967 and is valid for 12 months, it will normally expire on 10th November, 1968, but in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, such licence will be treated as valid upto 30th November, 1968.

(3) In cases where the goods are shipped or despatched before the date of issue of the licence or after its expiry, the imports will be treated as unauthorised by the Customs authorities and the Import Trade Control authorities will not entertain any representation in this regard.

Grace period

239. (1) In order to facilitate shipments in cases where the goods are ready for despatch in time but delay occurs because of a change in the shipping schedule or for reasons beyond the control of the importers, a grace period not exceeding 30 days is allowed after the date on which the licence expires. In the case illustrated in sub-para 238 (2) above, the period of grace will commence from 1st December, 1968, and the licence will be completely 'dead' on 30th December, 1968.

(2) The grace period of 30 days will also be available in the case of Customs Clearance Permits.

(3) The importers can also avail of the grace period of 30 days in the

case of revalidated licences.

(4) The grace period cannot be claimed as a matter of right and no letter of credit should be opened or order placed against the licence during the period of grace.

(5) On certain occasions such as dockyard strike in the country of shipment when the importers face genuine difficulties and the goods cannot be shipped in time, the licensing authority may, by a general authorisation, extend the period of validity of any licence on an ad-hoc basis for a- specified period. Such extension, where granted, will be in the nature of enhanced grace period and the importers will not be entitled to open any letter of credit or place orders for the supply of goods during such ex- tensions.

Invalidation of licences

240. (1) Application for invalidation.—A form of application for rej- validation of licences has been introduced. The prescribed form appears in > Appendix (3) to this book. All requests for revalidation of licences whether from actual users, established importers or others should be made in the prescribed form. While applying for revalidation, the applicants should specifically indicate the amount for which firm and irrevocable commitment has been made and the amount which has been utilised during the initial period of validity including period of revalidation already availed of, if any, in the appropriate columns of the prescribed application form.

(2) Actual users.—Requests for revalidation of actual user licences will be considered on merits by a licensing authority where such authority is satisfied that the request for revalidation is based on genuine difficulty and the refusal to grant extension will cause hardship or loss to the licence holder. In deserving cases, licences may be extended by a period not exceeding six months, provided such revalidation is otherwise allowed in terms of the relevant import policy.

Note: Actual user licences for raw materials, components and spares will not be revalidated beyond 6 months and such requests will be sum- marily rejected.

(3) Established importers.—Requests for revalidation of established¹' importer licences will be considered by a licensing authority on merits where such authority is satisfied that the licence holder had taken all possible measures to effect shipment/despatch within the validity period of the licence in question but shipment/despatch could not be effected for reasons beyond his control. In deserving cases, licences may be extended by 1 period not exceeding three months.

(4) C.G./H.E.P.—In the case of C.G./H.E.P, licences other than* those against tied credits, the licensing authority will grant an extension of one year, upon request, provided such authority is satisfied that a firm order has been placed and accepted by the foreign supplier during the initial period of validity of the licence but shipment could not be effected within that period. Normally extension beyond the overall validity period of 3 years is not granted but, in cases of special difficulty, the requests for revalidntion beyond this period may also be considered in consultation with the sponsoring mrttr.ority concerned.

(5) Registered exporters.—In the case of licences, granted under the- import policy for registered exporters, the period of validity may be ex- tended, for good reasons, for a period not exceeding six months, as in the case ol actual users. Requests for revalidation beyond 6 months will bffi- summarily rejected.

(6) Irrigation projects.—The licences for the import o£ equipment for irrigation projects will be extended to a maximum period of three years on production of documentary evidence to show that firm order has been placed and accepted by the foreign supplier provided the licence in ques- tion was initially issued with a validity period of one year. Where the licence has already been issued with a maximum validity period of 3 yerrs as provided in sub-para 236 (6) of this chapter, normally further extension will not be granted.

(7) D.G.S.&D./Railway contracts.—Licences issued against the D.G.S.&D./Railway contracts will be revalidated on the recommendation of the D.G.S. & D. or the Railway Liaison Officer, as the case may be.

(8) Technical Institutions,—The period of validity in respect of licences granted to universities, educational institutions, research organisations, technical/technological institutions and hospitals, may be extended, upon request, depending upon the merits of each case.

(9) C.C.P.—A Customs Clearance Permit may be revalidated upto a period of two months. Requests for invalidation beyond two months but upto five months, viz., for an overall period of 9 months including the period of revalidation, may also be considered on merits in cases of real hardship.

(10) Emergency licences for spares.—The period of validity in respect of emergency licences for spares, issued to actual users, will not be ex- tended.

(11) In cases not covered by sub-paras 1 to 9 above, no revalidation of licences will ordinarily be allowed. But in case of genuine difficulty the licensing authority may grant extension for a short period on merits.

(12) Revalidation of an import licence allowed by a licensing au- thority may be subject to such conditions or restrictions as such authority may impose.

Licensing authorities to whom applications for revalidation should be made

241. (1) Subject to the additional facility as provided in sub-para- graphs (2) and (3) below, the request for revalidation of a licence should be made to the licensing authority who issued the licence.

(2) The requests for revalidation of actual user licences, established importer licences and licences granted under the import policy for re- gistered exporters, issued by any licensing authority, will be entertained by all the regional licensing authorities.

(3) In the case of C.G./H.E.P. licences, other than those issued against tied credits, the requests for revalidation upto one year will also be enter- tained by all the regional licensing authorities. Requests for revalidation beyond this period should be made to the licensing authority who issued the licence.

(4) Requests for revalidation of import licences issued against credits will be considered by the licensing authority who issued the licence.

242. (1) Applications for rcvalldation to be made in time.—The re- quests for revalidatiion of licences should be made within the validity 'period of the licence. However, in cases of specific hardship, the licensing au- thority may condone the delay in the submission of the application for re- validation where such authority is satisfied that the delay in making the application for revalidatiion was due to circumstances beyond the control of the licensee.

(2) Date from which revalidation will take effect.—(a) Revalidation, where allowed, will be from the date of expiry of the licence when such licence is presented for revalidation before its expiry.

(b) In cases where the licence is presented for revalidation after the expiry date, the revalidation,-where allowed, will be from the date on which the application for revalidation is made, and the licensing authority will make a specific endorsement on the licence to this effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions iof sub-clause (b) above, a licensing authority may in cases of special difficulty, allow revalidation from the date of expiry of the licence, even if the licence in question is presented for revalidation after its expiry.

CHAPTER XIII

LETTER OF AUTHORITY

251. Under the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, dated 7-12-1955, no- import licence can be transferred or acquired except under and in accordance with the written permission of the licensing authority or any other officer authorised in this behalf. Therefore, in cases where no such permission is granted, only the licensee is authorised to operate ;jpon the licence issued to him, i.e. to place an order on the foreign sup- plier, to open a letter of credit, to make remittances of foreign exchange against the exchange control copy of the licence and to perform all other functions for the utilisation of the licence.

252. With a view to falling in line with the ordinary trade practice and, at the same tune, in ordejr to exercise a proper check over the transfer of import licences, the licensing authority may authorise any person or con- cern to operate upon a licence on behalf of the licensee in accordance with the provisions stated below.

253. A licensee who desires another party to indent the goods from- abroad or open a letter of credit or make remittances or to import the goods on his behalf against any particular licence issued to him, should' apply for a letter of authority in favour of such party in respect of that Licence. Such application should 'be made to the licensing authority who- issued the licence.. However, in the case of licences other than those issued under foreign credits/loans, the application for the grant of letter of authority can be made to any regional licensing authority also. In respect of licences issued for import from rupee payment area also, the request for the issue of letters of authority will be entertained by any regional licensing authority. A specimen form of letter of authority is given in Appendix 25.

254. It may be clarified that a letter of authority issued in respect of a licence granted on annual basis will enable the holder of the letter of authority to operate upon both the halves of the value of the licence in terms of the policy in force and the conditions applicable to the licence, and it will not be necessary for the licensee to obtain a separate letter of authority in favour of the same person for the second half of the value of the annual licence.

255. A letter of authority cannot be claimed as a matter of right. It will be granted only in respect of those licences where the licensing- authority is satisfied that, for genuine and bona fide reasons, the licensee is not himself in a position to operate on the licence. The licensing authority may also refuse to grant a letter of authority in favour of a> person (or concern) who is, for the time* being, subject to any actions under Clauses 8 or 8A of the Imports (Control) Order or the Exports¹ (Control) Order.

255-A. (1) Declaration to be furnished by the applicant.—The applica- tion for a letter of authority should be accompanied by a declaration from the licensee stating that he has neither applied for nor obtained letter of autho- rity in respect of the same licence from any other licensing authority. In cases where an application for a letter of authority has already been made or a letter of authority has already been obtained from any licensing autho- rity in respect of a part-value of the licence, it should be clearly stated in the declaration that the letter of authority already applied for or obtained .does not cover the value for which a letter of authority is now desired. The reason for which the licensee cannot import the goods direct should -.also be explained in the declaration.

(2) The licensing authority may call for any other document/infonna- ition for considering the request for the grant of a letter of authority.

256. Functions of the holder of letter of authority.—(1) A person or •concern in whose favour a letter of authority is issued by a licensing authority in respect of an import licence, will act as the licensee's agent so far as the ^particular import licence is concerned.

(2) The functions of the holder of a letter of authority will be limited, 'namely, to operate upon the licence in question, i.e. to place an order, to .open a letter of credit, to make remittances, to import the goods and clear ihe same through the customs, on behalf of the licensee. The letter of authority holder can also apply, on behalf of the licensee, for revalidation •of the licence, but he cannot make an application for any amendment in rthe licence or for the grant ofa duplicate copy of the licence.

257. Conditions of letter of authority.—A letter of authority issued •Hinder these provisions shall be deemed to have been issued subject to the following conditions:—

(i) the person or concern in whose favour the letter of authority is issued will act only as an agent of the licensee and the goods imported shall be the property of the licensee both at tho time of clearance through the customs and subsequent thereto. The licensee will have to ensure that the goods, on importation, will be delivered to him and shall not be disposed of otherwise. The licensee shall not cause or permit the holder of letter of authority to dispose of the goods.

(ii) the holder of the letter of authority shall clearly indicate on all the relevant customs documents including the triplicate copy of the customs Bill of Entry that the goods have been 'imported by him on behalf of the licensee. This endorsement will be duly attested by the customs authorities.

fiii) the holder tff the letter of authority shall not, under any circumstances, be entitled to any quota licence or quota certificate on the basis of such imports.

258. Licences issued to agencies owned or controlled by Government.— The Imports (Control) Order, 1955, has been amended to the effect that the conditions under items (i) and (ii) of sub-clause (3) of clause 5 of the said order shall not apply to the licences issued to the State Trading Corporation of India, the Minerals and Metals Trading Corpora- tion of India and other similar institutions or agencies owned or con- trolled by the Government. It may, however, be clarified that even in respect of licences issued to such agencies, a letter of authority from the licensing authority will be necessary if the licence is to be operated upon by a person other than the licensee, but such letter of authority will be subject to nuch terms and conditions as may be settled between the licensee and the party concerned.

CHAPTER XIV

EXEMPTIONS FROM I.T.C. RESTRICTIONS

259. No licence is required for the import of goods mentioned under the 'Savings' in Clause 11 of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, dated the 7th December, 1955, as amended.

260. In terms of saving (i) of sub-clause (1) of the aforesaid clause 11 of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, executive instructions have been issued to the Customs authorities to exempt the import of goods from the Import Trade Control restrictions in the following types of cases :—

Bonding of exposed cinematographic films

(a) Exposed films imported and allowed to be bonded for preview or censorship or re-export under the C.B.R. letter No. 16(13)/58-Cus V, dated the 11th September, 1958, may be exempt from I.T.C. restrictions.

Import of emerald and other precious stones on approval basis—

examination of contents before clearance

(b) (J) The emeralds and other precious stones imported by sea or air (otherwise than by post) and bonded on arrival for the purpose of inspection may be exempted from I. T. C. restrictions. Such quantities of goods as are approved after inspection may be allowed to be cleared a gainst valid licences.

(2) This facility is not available in the case of imports of emeralds and precious stories by post parcel. Under the Universal Postal Con- vention, a parcel cannot be split up into two i.e., one part to be retain- ed and the other part to be returned to the sender. The contents of the post parcels can therefore cither be accepted or rejected in toto. How- ever, the importer or his agent will be given facilities to inspect the contents of such post parcels under customs supervision, if the addressee so desires. The inspection will be allowed at the time and date specified by the Customd authorities. If the importer does not turn up for inspection at the appointed time and date, the parcel will be returned to the sender. If the importer accepts the parcel, he can secure its clearance against a valid licence and the value of the parcel as a whole will be debited to the licence, and the debit once raised against the licence will not be revoked.

Transfer of ship stores in cases where the vessels engaged on foreign trade are transferred to coastal trade

(c) In cases where the vessels engaged on foreign trade are transferred to coastal trade, the consumable stores on board the ship are allowed to be transferred with the vessel on payment of Customs duty. Such transfer of stores will be exempt from I.T.C. restrictions.

Import of advertisement blocks

(d) Certain foreign concern buy advertisement space in the Indian press and for lhat purpose, send blocks to India. These blocks are intended to be destroyed after the relevant number of insertions have appeared. It has been represented that newspaper establishments are experiencing difficulty in cleaning these advertisement blocks. As these blocks are imported free of charge and the related advertisements bring in foreign exchange, the eonsignuLiit containing advertisement blocks supplied lYee oi charge, will be allowed to be cleared without import licences provided (he value of the consignment docs not exceed Rs. 800.

Import of goods by post for personal ,use by individuals or for use by any

institution or hospital—Extension of the concession to air freight parcels

It may be clarified Ihat the value limits given in the said sub-paragraph (gg) of the Imports (Control) Order are in e.i.f. terms and will, therefore, be inclusive of freight in the case of air parcels also.

Import of goods by post or air freight for professional

(2) This concession does not apply to factories but where a factory has to import raw materials or spare parts by air urgently without waiting to obtain an import licence with a view to avoid any breakdown and where the facts are clear, such cases will be dealt with leniently by Collectors of Customs in their discretion.

Facilities for importation of commercial samples and advertising material

Imports for International Cbildrens' Competition

(tri) The Children's Book Trust, New Delhi-], has been conducting children's competition in paintings and writing (in English only), known as 'Shankar's International Children's Competition'. The competition is held every year. The entries for the competition, i.e. children's paintings, are received from foreign participant children. These paintings have no commercial value. It has been decided that import of children s paintings addressed to the Children's Book Trust, Nehru House, 4 Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi-1, may be allowed clearance without customs clearance permits.

Imports under O.G.L. IV

261 (1) Under Open General Licence No. IV (Reproduced in Appendix 24) as amended, bona fide technical and trade samples or advertising matter excepting vegetable seeds falling under Serial No. 3b of Part IV of the I T.C. Schedule and New Drugs can be imported without

an import licence provided (a) they are supplied free of charge, (b) their c.i.f. value in one consignment does not exceed Rs. 800 in the case ot. technical and trade samples and Rs. 400 in the case of advertising matter, and (c) the samples or advertising materials thus imported shall not be sold by the importer. Under this concession, the Customs authorities may ailow clearance under Open General Licence No. IV of the permissible samples and advertising matter even if the importer concerned may have to pay for freight and insurance charges provided the overall value of the samples or the advertising matter including freight and insurance charges does not exceed the limits indicated above in one consignment. In suck an event, the Collector of Customs will suitably endorse the relative bill of entry to enable the importer to secure remittance facilities from the Reserve Bank of India in respect of the freight and insurance charges. It has been represented that, in certain cases, import of bona fide technical and trade samples has to be effected by air freight parcels to meet urgent requirements wheieby the c.i.f. value of the consignment exceeds the prescribed limit of Rs. 800/-. It has been decided that in respect of such supplies of bona fide technical and trade samples made free of charge, if the foreign supplier also bears the expenses relating to insurance and air freight, the customs authorities may allow clearance, provided the import is otherwise covered by O.G.L. IV. The imported bona fide technical and trade Samples in such cases will not be held up on the ground that the total value thereof has exceeded the specified limit of Rs. 800/- on account of the extra freight paid on importing by air.

(2) A question has been raised whether several consignments of bona fide technical and trade samples or advertising matter for value not exceeding Rs. 800 in tho case of technical and trade samples and Rs. 400 in the case of advertising matter in each consignment sent by the same supplier to the same consignee and received by the same mail should be treated as one consignment or different consignments for purposes of clearance under O.G.L. IV. It has been decided that the import of several consignments in the manner indicated above (although each consignment does not exceed the specified value limits) will tantamount to circumvention of ceiling placed for imports of bona fide trade and technical samples or advertising matter in one consignment and will not, therefore, qualify for the concession given in the O.G.L.

(3) Though the above O.G.L. does not specify any 'particular types >of importers who are eligible to import the samples, it is clarified that only such importers as are connected with the production or commercial sale or distribution of goods are expected to be supplied with free samples/ advertising materials by the foreign suppliers. It has, therefore, been decided that importers who are not connected with the production or commercial sale or distribution will not be allowed the above concession. However, the Export Promotion Councils may also be allowed the con- cession regarding the import of technical and trade samples under O.G.L. IV by the Customs authorities.

(4) O.G.L. IV also permits (a) the import of free gifts of books of certain types up to the value of Rs. 400 in favour of industrial concerns and (b) free sifts of trade catalogues and circulars up to the value of Rs 400 The import policy does not permit the import of books of undesirable type. Therefore, the customs authorities will not allow

import of undesirable types of books under O.G.L. IV or under Sub-para- graph 11(1) (gg) of Imports (Control) Order 1955. The importers should consult the relevant import policy for this purpose.

(5) O.G.L. IV permits import of blue-prints and drawings (including micro films wb.ich are photographic reductions thereof) relating to machi- nery and plant sites, works and buildings, supplied free of charge and having no commercial value. It has been represented that in certain cases where exporters undertake large scale contracts and projects abroad, they have to import 'Drawings' against tenders, for which payment to foreign suppliers is also involved. It has been decided that the Customs authorities may, in. their discretion, allow clearance in such cases even if payment to foreign suppliers is involved, provided the c.i.f. vlaue of the goods imported does not exceed Rs. 1000/- and the import is otherwise covered by O.G.L. IV.

262. Import of labels, price tickets and like articles for export pro- ducts.—(1) It has been represented that exporters are finding it difficult to clear packages of labels, price tickets and like articles which are supplied to them by foreign buyers to be attached to the goods which are exported against specific orders placed by them. The Collectors of Customs may, therefore, in their discretion, allow clearance of labels, price tickets and like articles without I.T.C. restrictions provided they are satisfied that these articles are required for bona fide use in connection with export orders and the value of articles imported at one time is less than Rs. 80.

(2) Where the value of the articles so imported is Rs. 80 or more, but not exceeding Rs. 800 and the Export Promotion Council concerned or the sponsoring authority with whom the importer has been registered as an exporter under the import policy for registered exporters, certify the requirement of the importer based on the orders received by him from abroad, the Collector of Customs may, on the basis of such certification, allow the imports in bona fide cases.

(3) Where the value of articles so imported is more than Rs. 800 the importer concerned should approach the licensing authority at the port and the grant of customs clearance permit in such cases will be considered by the licensing authority on merits in bona fide cases, after taking suitable bond from the importei that the goods covered by the Customs clearance permit will be utilised for export orders to be executed and the goods exported within a period of six months.

Control restrictions. This concession has been extended to the import of publica- tions of the United Nations Organisation or its specialised agencies by •heir aeents and such imports by the agents concerned would also be exempt from the I.T.C. restrictions provided the imports are exempt from the Customs duty under the United Nations (Privileges and Immunities) Act, 1947 and the publications so imported are the property of U.N.O. or Us specialised agency, as the case may be, at the time of importation.

Re-import of goods for removal of detects and subsequent re-export 264. The goods of Indian manufacture exported and received back by the manufacturer from consignee for repair and re-export .are exempt from Import Trade Control restrictions—vide saving (1) in sub-clause ( I) of Clause II of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955. It will be observed from the saving (1) that the re-import of the goods will be permitted 'provided that (i) the Customs are satisfied with the bona fides of the case and (ii) in the case of goods other than those exempt from customs duty on re-importation under Customs Notification No. 132, dated the 9th December 1961, a bond is executed by the importer with the Import Trade Control authority at the port concerned to the effect that ihe goods thus imported will be re-exported after repair within six months. .In such cases where the customs authorities are satisfied with the bona fides of uie case, they will refer the importer to the port licensing authority concerned for executing the necessary bond and release the goods after fhe bona is executed with the Import Trade Control authority. The Import Trade Control licensing authority will take a bond from the Importer on stamp paper equal to the value of the goods and take further steps to ensure the compliance of the conditions of the bond. The bonds should be guaranteed by a Bank Surety.

265. (1) Under sub-paragraph of siic-clausc (1) (g) of Clause 11 of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955, goods imported by a person as passenger's baggage are exempt from the necessity of an import licence subject to certain limitations/conditions, to the extent admissble under the Baggage Rules issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs from time to time. It should, however, be noted that only such articles as are considered bona fide baggage under the Baggage Rules in force will be allowed to be imported without a licence under this provision.

CHAPTER XVI

UNAUTHORISED IMPORTS

273. Valid imports.—Import is validly covered by a licence when the description, value and the quantity of imported goods are in accordance with the licence and the shipment/despatch of the goods from the supply- ing country takes place within the period of validity of the licence.

274. Import Licences are without prejudice to other prohibitions.—An import licence is issued without prejudice to the operation of other prohibitions or laws to which the imported goods may be subject. For instance, if, under the health laws, imported plants have to be fumigat- ed or animals inoculated, the relevant regulations have to be strictly observed. Similarly, the regulations under the Drugs Control Act, the Arms Act, the Explosives Act. the Excise Act and such other Acts, as may apply to the goods sought to be imported, will have to be strictly followed^

275. Imports not covered by licences.—If any article, requiring a licence, is imported without a valid licence, its entry into the country will be treaied as unauthorised and the importer/owner of the goods will be liable to punishment under the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962 without prejudice to any other action that may be taken in this behalf under the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 and the order issued thereunder. In such cases, the Import Trade Control authorities will not regularise the import by an ex-post-facto licence; nor will they amend the existing licence in any manner to cover such imports.

276 Customs' Jurisdiction.—The clearance of goods and the assess- ment of duty will be dealt with by the Customs authorities. It is within the jurisdiction of the Customs authorities to determine whether or not the goods imported are in conformity with the description given in the tee. Although, in case of doubt in regard to the correct description of goods given l i t he licence or any other matter concerning the import, foe cStoms authorities may consult the Import Trade Control authorities, the final responsibility in the matter rests with the Customs authorities.

authorities.

278. Joint Committees.—In order to help the importers in cases of genuine difficulties, a joint committee of the Import Trade Control and. the Customs authorities has been set up at each port. The Committee meets regularly and deal with both pre and post-importation enquiries and difficulties of importers.

279. Requests for amendments to be made before shipment.—If the

importer finds discrepancy in a licence, he should immediately apply to the licensing authority concerned for an amendment in the licence. The request for such an amendment should in any case be made before the goods have been shipped/despatched from the supplying country, so that, if, for any reason, the change or amendment is not permitted, the importer may be able to advise his suppliers to make the necessary adjustment. In seeking any amendment or revalidation of 'a licence, it should clearly be pointed out by the applicant whether or not shipment/despatch of goods covered thereby has already been made cither wholly or partly. Any misleading or wrong statement in this behalf will render the license©/ importer liable to action under the Import Trade Control rules and regulations.

280. The requests, if any, for amendment of a licence made after the shipment/despatch of the goods from the supplying country will be sum- marily rejected by the I.T.C. authorities. The matter in such an event will rest with the Customs authorities. The importers should, therefore, ap- proach the Customs authorities who will deal with the cases with reference to the relevant rules.

281. Penalty for unauthorised imports.—The fine/penalty imposed in respect of unauthorised imports is likely to be heavy and may lead to even confiscation of the goods or prosecution of the importer/owner of goods. In special circumstances, the importer/owner of the goods may be allowed to re-ship the goods; but, in such a case also, the importer/owner of the goods will be liable to pay fine/penalty. Therefore, the importers should, in their own interest ensure that what is being imported by them into the country is in strict conformity with the licence-description in every respect and that the consignment is neither in excess of the licensed value nr quantity limitations nor different in any way from what is authorised to be imported.

282. Clearance of goods when the importer is unable to produce the

licence.—Tn cases where an importer claims to have a valid import licence to cover the goods imported by him but is unable to produce the licence to the Collector of Customs at a particular port owing to the simultaneous arrival of the goods covered by the licence at different ports, or for any other reason, the Collector of Customs may, if he is satisfied with the plea put forward by the importer, permit clearance of the goods in so far as Import Trade Control Regulations arc concerned on the importer execut- ing a bond or a letter of guarantee in the forms given in Appendix (28) to this book. It is at the discretion of the Collector of Customs either to accept the bond or the letter of guarantee from the importer for the pro- duction of the import licence for the goods at a later date.

CHAPTER XVII

MISCELLANEOUS

283. Port of entry.—(1) Import licences will, except where specifically provided otherwise in the licence, be valid for importation of goods at all ports in the Indian Union.

(2) The importers can, however, obtain separate licences for the goods to be imported through different ports, and for this purpose, the value of the goods to be imported at each port should be given separately in the application for the licence. In such cases, the customs port at which each licence will be registered, should also be indicated.

Subsidiary licences

284. (1) In order to facilitate the clearance of goods through different sections of the same Customs House, the licensing authorities at the ports will consider requests for the issue of subsidiary licences against an existing licence. The request for grant of subsidiary licence can be made to any port licensing authority. Such requests will also be entertained by the regional licensing authorities in respect of licences issued from the head- quarters office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi.

(2) Subsidiary licences for clearance of goods at airports.-—Requests for issue of subsidiary licences will also be considered for the clearance of goods through the customs authorities at the airports.

(3) Applications for subsidiary Iicences^-The following points should be borne in mind by the applicants while applying for subsidiary licences:— (i) The applications for subsidiary licences should be made sufficiently in advance of the despatch/shipment of the goods from the supplying country. A licensing authority may, how- ever, consider an application for the grant of a subsidiary licence after the expiry of the main licence to enable the licensee to> clear the goods shipped within the validity period of the main licence.

(ii) The facility of the grant of subsidiary licences will be giveu irrespective of the value of the original licence,

(iii) The subsidiary licences, where granted, will be subject to face value restrictions or any other conditions applicable to the original licence. It is open to the importers to apply for and obtain separate subsidiary licences specifically valid for the items with face value restrictions upto the permissible limits. These licences showing the values of restricted items permissi- ble against the main or original licences will also be valid for import of non-restricted items.

(iv) The applications for subsidiary licences should also be accom- panied by treasury receipt showing the payment of the prescrib- ed application fee of Rs. 5 for each subsidiary licence.

(v) Subsidiary licence will have the same period of validity as the main licence. The revalidation, if any, granted in respect of the main or original licence will also apply to the subsidiary licence.

Payment to suppliers

285. When goods are to be imported under an Open General Licence or Special General Licence, authorised dealers in foreign exchange have

been permitted to open letters of credit or make remittances to cover the imports on their being satisfied that the goods ordered are covered by the Open General Licence or the Special General Licence. With regard to goods not covered by an Open General Licence or Special General Licence, no letters of credit can be opened or remittances of foreign exchange made unless the importer is in possession of a valid import licence with exchange control copy. When applying to an authorised dealer in foreign exchange for remittance of foreign exchange, the licence holder should produce before him the copy of the licence marked 'for exchange control purposes'. It should be noted that in opening any letter of credit, the date of expiry of the O.G.L. or S.G.L. or the valid licence should be kept in view for deter- mining the period for which the letter of credit should be kept open for negotiation.

286. INo remittances in advance of the receipt of the shipping docu- ments.—It may be noted that whereas letters of credit can be opened on the basis of the exchange control copy of the licence in advance of the ship- ment/despatch of goods, remittances can be made only on receipt of ship- ping documents. In the case of licences for Capital goods and Heavy Electrical Plant, however, a part payment may be authorised by the Reserve Bank of India as an earnest money payable to the foreign suppliers.

The extent to which the licence can be utilised

287. (1) The value shown in an import licence is always the c.i.f. price of the goods to be imported, and it includes commission allowed by the supplier/manufacturer to the importer or agent. The value debitable to an import licence for Customs purposes will be the c.i.f. value of goods imported as ass'essed by the Customs authorities. The remittance against goods covered by the import licence would, however; be governed by tho Exchange Control regulations and it will exclude commission, discount or like rebates allowed by the foreign supplier/manufacturer to the importer/agent. There- fore, the licensing authority will specifically endorse a condition on the licence to the effect that payment authorised to be made against it shall not cover commission, discount or like rebates allowed by foreign supplier/ manufacturer to the importers/agents in India.

(2) The c.i.f. value cannot also be used to the full extent if the stores are shipped f.o.b. In such an event, a margin has to be left to cover the cost of: insurance and freight to be paid for in rupees. When either the freight or insurance is paid in rupees in India, the amounts will be deducted from the value of the licence by the authorised dealer in Foreign Exchange e.g. where against an import licence for Rs. 1,00,000 the insurance and freight charges amount Rs. 10,000 (say Rs. 5,000 on each account) the basic imports exclusive of cost of insuance and freight against the said licence can be admitted upto the extent of Rs. 90,000 only.

Requests for enhancement in value

288. Importers are required to take steps to ensure that the c.i.f. value shown in the licence is not exceeded in any case unless otherwise notified. The only types of cases where requests for enhancement in the value of the licence are entertained are:—

(a) Ca'pital goods;

(b) H.E.P. licences; (c) Licences against D.G.S.&D. and Railway Orders; (d) Licences granted to Actual Users in exceptional cases.

In each case the reasons for the increase have to be satisfactorily explained and documentary evidence in support of them has to be produced. The enhancement will be solely at the discretion of the licence issuing authority.

Currency in which payment may be made

289. Normally foreign remittances are allowed by the Exchange Control authorities only in the currency of the country of origin of the goods in question as stated in the import licence, or by payment in sterling or rupees to the account of a resident in that country. In the case of f.o.b. contracts, however, payment of freight and insurance may be made in rupees, or in the currency of the country in which the shipping company is registered or the insurance policy is issued. If importers require aoy further information in this behalf, they may consult the authorised dealers in foreign exchange or the Reserve Bank of India.

Provisional debiting of import licences by Customs Homes

290. Import licences are sometimes debited with 'Loaded Values' of the imported goods by Customs Houses on a provisional basis. On subsequent verification or on appeal, the quantum of loading is sometimes reduced after several licensing periods. Re-validation of a licence on account of reduc- tion in the "loaded value" will not be granted.

Banks as joint holders of licences

291. (1) It has been observed that when an importer opens an irrevocable letter of credit through a bank and later fails to honour his bills, the bank concerned, which is committed for the payment of the exchange to the foreign suppliers, finds itself in difficulty to import as it is not the licence holder. As a safeguard against this contingency the exchange banks or authorised dealers through whom the letters of credit are opened! are reckoned as the joint holders of the licence to the extent of the goods coveted by the credit which would thus enable them to honour their commitments with foreign supplier. The procedure in this respect is contained in Public Notice No. 60-ITC(PN)/50, dated the 21st July, 1950, reproduced in Appendix 29.

(2) In the types of cases referred to in sab-para (1) of this paragraph and also in cases where the goods are pledged with a bank or a State Fin- ance Corporation and the borrower does not meet his obligation, the impor- ted goods lying with the bank or the State Finance Corporation, as the <;ase may be, will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Clause 10-C of the Imports (Control) Order 1955, as amended.

Established importers-enm-manufacturers

292. (1) An established importer-cum-manufacturer is eligible to claim a licence only in one capacity, i.e. either as an established importer or as an actual user, as indicated below:—

(a) If an established importer of a commodity is also the manufac- ture of a product in the process of the manufacture of which

that commodity is required, the established importer-c"m- manufacturer would be entitled to claim a licence only in one capacity as an established importer or as actual user and not both.

(b) If an established importer of a finished product and/or its com- ponents is himself or through his associate concern engaged in the manufacture of that product and/or its components as an actual user, the actual user and his associate concern(s) will surrender their quotas for the finished product and/or its components as an established importer, provided that in ex- ceptional cases where the commencement of production is likely to be delayed, they will be allowed to claim quota licen- ces till the production has actually commenced.

(2) Clarification of the above provisions.—The following clarification is made to define the scope of the application of the above provisions with respect to certain types of cases:—

(i) Cases in which the established tmporter-cum-manufacturer has a qnota for a commodity which is also required as a raw material (or use hi the manufacture of a finished product.—-(a) If the raw material falls under a S. No, or sub. S. No. as the case may be which covers only one item, the established importer-ewm-manufacturer shall surrender his claim for a licence for the raw material in one capacity i.e. either as an established importer or as an actual user.

(b) If the raw material falls under a S. No./Sub S. No. which covers more than one item, the established importer-ewm-manufacturer will be allowed to claim in addition to an actual user licence, a quota licence to Import only such other items falling under the particular S. No./Sub S. No. as arc not covered by his Actual User licence. In such cases only the past imports of admissible items will be taken into account for the grant of the quota licence,

(11) Cases where the manufacturer ol a finished product has In his owv name or in the name of his associate concern/(s) a quota for that product— In such cases, if the manufacturer is engaged in the manufacture of only particular type/(s) of the product, he or his associate concern/(s) will bo entitled to claim a quota licence for import of such other type/(s) of the product as are not included in his manufacturing programme and only bis

East Jmport of such other type/(s) of the product as are not included id is manufacturing programme will be taken into account to determine his or his associate concern's quota entitlement. But the quota will be subject to revision consequent on the expansion of the manufacturing activities.

(H'0 Cases where the manufacturer of a finished product has in hb own name or In the name of his associate concern/(s) a quota for the components of the finished products:—

Tn such cases, the manufacturer and his associate concern(s) will be entitled to claim a quota licence for such components as are (a) not cover- ed by his actual user licence and (b) not covered by his manufacturing activities. Only the past imports of admissible components will be reck- oned for the prant of quota licences for components in such cases and the quota would be subject to revision consequent on the expansion of the manufacturing activities.

49 G. of I. Ex.—13

Ov) These principles would be followed with regard to grant of quota licences when goods imported against the quota licence are required for stock and sale. However, in cases where the goods sought to be imported against quota licence(s) are required for servicing/repairs, the quota licence(s) would be validated on ad hoc basis in the discretion of the licen- sing authority to meet the semicing/repairs requirements.

(v) There may be certain types of cases where the importer-cwm-manu- facturer holds a quota certificate for machinery/equipment/accessories and he may require the same goods for installation of a factory or for replace- ment purposes thereafter. In such cases, the established importer-c"wj- manufacturer would have the option to claim either the quota licences or an Actual User licence (including C.G./H.E.P.;.

(3) Definition of associate concern tor the above purpose.-—For the purpose of the above provisions, the following will be the criteria for deter- mining that the concerns arc associates:—

(i) The actual user concern and the established importer concern are assessed to income tax jointly i.e. have a common I.V.C. Number or they have common ownership.

(ii) The actual user concern and the established importer concern have separate I.V.C. numbers and have no common ownership, but the proprietor of one of such concern is the proprietor of the other concern, or a partner or a set of partners in one of such concern have major share in the other concern.

(iii) The actual user concern is a Limited Company and any Director of the Limited Company has interest in the established impor- ter concern as proprietor.

Rc-import of goods after repairs abroad.

293. (1) The goods which are covered by Saving (k) of Clause H of the Imports (Control) Order 1955 dated 7th December 1955, can be imported into India from any country without import trade control restrictions.

(2) In the case of goods which are not covered by the saving clause mentioned above, and which are exported for repairs and subsequent return, the importer should secure an import licence in advance, and the goods for repairs should be exported only after obtaining the licence for their re-import. The application for import licence should be made to the licensing authority concerned. Failure to comply with this recjuire- ment will render the application for licence/Customs Clearance Perrriit For re-import of the goods repaired liable to be rejected. In cases where the re-import of articles after repairs involves foreign exchange, the amount to be remitted towards the cost of repairs, freight and insurance should be indicated in the application for licence and the apph'cation should be supported by a certificate from the D.G.T.D. to the effect that the goods In question cannot be repaired in India.

Re-Iinport of samples of Indian' origin sent abroad for the purpose of securing orders

294. (1) For rc-importation into India of samples sent or taken over to foreign countries by Indian businessmen, a provision already exists in Saving (k) of Clause 11 of the Imports (Control) Order 1955 whereby such samples as are exempt from payment of Customs Duties on re-importation, Would be allowed clearance without an import licence. But in order to

qualify for this concession, there are certain Customs formalities to be observed and the Indian traders who do not comply with such formalities have to face difficulties in the clearance of such samples on re-importation. Therefore, the trade, in its own interest, should contact the Customs authorities before exporting the samples to foreign countries and ensure that the conditions qualifying for the duty free re-importation of the samples are fulfilled.

(2) However, in cases where samples on re-importation do not qualify for the above concession, it is open to the Indian businessmen to secure import licences in advance to cover the re-import. Applications for import licences for the re-importation of such samples should be submitted to the regional licensing authorities and should be accompanied by an evidence to show that the samples which were taken over, or sent to foreign countries, are being re-imported.

(3) In the case of businessmen/industrialists returning from abroad, who are bringing in such samples, the requirement regarding submission of I.V.C, Registration/Exemption Number will be dispensed with for th© purpose of the application for import licence as in the case of such appli- cants, it may be difficult to comply with this requirement. In cases other than those of businessmen/industrialists returning from abroad, also, the requirement regarding production of I.V.C. Registration/Exemption Number will b; dispensed with if the re-importation takes place within three years of export. The payment of application fee will be -vaived in all such cases.

Import of samples and literatures relating to products to be manufactured for re-export

295. Applications for the import of samples and literatures relating to products to bo manufactured in India for export, will be considered on merits on ad hoc basis by the licensing authorities concerned. The appli- cants should give full justification for their requirements In such cases* The applications should be made in the form prescribed for actual users and should be accompanied by a Treasury Receipt for the requisite amount towards application fee.

Import of empty gas cylinders for re-export after being filled with gai

296. Applications for the grant of Customs Clearance Permits will be considered by the licensing authority concerned for the import of empty gas cylinders falling under Serial No. 65(5)(iii)/V of the I.T.C. Schedule which are to be re-exported after being filled with gas. The procedure to be followed in such cases will be as under;—-

(a) The importers should apply for a Customs Clearance Permit to import empty gas cylinders in respect of their six months requirements i.e. the number ol cylinders which they will be able to re-export after being filled with gas within a period of six months. The application should be supported by a certi- ficate from the Director of Explosives in respect of cylinders applied for.

(b) The applicants should also produce evidence to show that their requirements are genuine and that they have been in the particular trade.

(c) The Customs Clearance Permits, where granted, will be subject to the condition that the licensee shall re-export the cylinders after filling them with gas within a period of six months fromr

the date of importation- The importer will also be required to execute a bond with a surety from an insurance company or a chamber of commerce at the time of importation of the cylinders for compliance with this condition. However, in the case of importers of good standing who have been in the line ana whose past performance has been satisfactory, the licensing authority concerned may in its discretion dispense with the surety.

Import of machinery and equipment designed on the metric system

297. (1) Legislation has been enacted to decimalize currency, weights and measures. The Coinage (Amendment) Act, 1955 was brought into force on 1st April, 1957, and decimal coinage is now in circulation in the country. The Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 3 956 has been brought into force with effect from the 1st October, 1958 in certain: specified areas in States and Union Territories and in respect of certain specified classes of undertakings and of goods. The Act provides for a transitional period of 10 years from its date of enactment.

(2) Importers of machinery are requested to take note of these develop- ments and to endeavour to import machinery which should be able to work to metric measurements. It is realised that for a certain number of years both the metric and the foot-pound systems have to continue side by side. To the extent, therefore, that machinery and equipment on foot- pound system is required for replacements either in regard to spare parts or even complete machines, their imports will be allowed after scrutiny of their need.

(3) Metric system has become the only legal system of weights and measures in the country. Importers of machinery are requested to tataj note of this development and to import machinery which would be able to work on metric measurements. Weighing or measuring instruments im- ported for use in trade or commerce must conform to the specifications prescribed in the Weights & Measures (Enforcement) Rules of the States.

(4) Consequent on the decision of the Government of India to intro- duce from August 1960 the Metric System of Weights and Measures in tbo levy and collection of Customs Duties, it was decided to adopt the Metric system,of weights and measures from 1st October 1960 for the purpose of Import and Export Trade Control also, to the extent indicated below:—

(i) All shipping documents relating to imports, exports and re-export will be in Metric Unit. However, to suit the requirements of customers in foreign countries which are not on metric system, the exporters may use British Units as well in their invoice, etc. at the request of their customers. Shippers in foreign countries such as United Kingdom, United States of America or other countries, which are not on metric system, will have, the option to use British Units in their shipping documents, invoices, etc.

(ii) Where licensing is on the basis of quantity, new quota certi- ficates/licences will be issued in Metric Units; even otherwise quantities in licences will be shown in Metric Units, wherever necessary.

(iii) While applying for licences importers will be required to mention quantity in Metric Units.

Import of Transformer Oil together with power transformers

298. (1) Oil supplied for the first filling along with the transformer may be treated as part of the transformer and its clearance may be allowed, against licences issued for transformers. It may, however, be noted that the quantity of transformer oil so allowed shall not in any case exceed th& capacity of the tank of the transformer. It is also necessary to ensure that the c.\.t. value of the oil plus the c.i.f. value of the transformers should be covered by the c.i.f. value specified in the licence for transformers-

(2) Where the oil and the relative transformer are shipped from different countries, a separate import licence would be necessary for the oil. This would not, howevsr, apply if the licence for transformer has been specifically made valid to cover transformer oil required with it, subject to the prescribed conditions, if any, being fulfilled.

Duplicate copies of import licence

299. (1) Where a licence is lost or misplaced, the application for the issue of a duplicate copy of the licence will be considered and a duplicate copy will be issued if the licensing authority concerned is satisfied in regard to the bona fide of the case.

(2) The application for the issue of duplicate copy of the licence should bo subrniued to the licensing authority who issued the original licence. Such applications should be accompanied by a treasury challan of Rs. 5 /- towards application fee and an affidavit on a stamped paper in the form prescribed in Appendix (8) to this book duly sworn in before a magistrate or an oath commissioner or notary public.

(3) The duplicate copy of the licence wiH be marked 'DUPLICATE* and endorsed by the issuing authority in block letters ns follows:—

This licence has been issued in lieu of licence No

(to be given>

dated

, since cancelled under Order No

, to the extent of full value or partly utilised value dated of Rs

(4) When a duplicate copy of a licence is issued, the licensing authority concerned will intimate the fact to the custom authority at the port of registration of the original licence. Where a duplicate copy of the licence is issued with Exchange Control Copy, the Reserve Dank of India of the circle concerned will also be informed accordingly by the licensing authority concerned. The order of cancellation of the original licence wilJ be published in the Gazette of India.

Licences issued in duplicate

300. Import licences are generally issued in duplicate. One of the copies known as the Customs Purposes copy is to presented by the importer along with the bills of entry, to the Customs authorities for obtaining clearance of the goods imported. The 'other i.e. the Exchange Control copy' is to be presented by tho importer to the bank for i.he purpose of opening a letter of¹ credit or making rcmittnnce of foreign exchange. Where no remittance of foreign exchange is involved, the Exchange Control copy of the licence is not issued.

Form ol affidavit

301. Applicants for import licences are sometimes required to furnish certificates or declarations along with their applications for import licences. Unless otherwise provided, such certificates or declarations need not be given on a stamped paper and also need not be sworn in before a magistrate or an oath commissioner etc. Such declarations or certificates can ordinarily be signed by the proprietor, partner, or managing director of the applicant concern or by a person duly authorised to sign such document on behalf of the applicant.

Checks on delays

302. (1) Every effort is made to avoid delays in the disposal of applications for licences or correspondence. Reminders in regard to the delayed cases are attended to promptly by the licensing authorities.

(2) Complaints regarding delay addressed to the Chief Controller ol Imports and Exports, New Delhi, should be specifically marked "Cora- plaint against delay" at the top of the communication containing Lbe complaint.

The Public Relations Officer of the rank of the Deputy Chief •Controller of Imports and Exports has been appointed at the headquarters of the office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports, New Delhi, in the regional offices also, Public Relations Officers have been appointed.

Addressing of communications to Import Trade Control Organisations

303. It is noticed that telegrams and letters received by the licensing authorities from the trade by way of reminder do not often contain sufficient details to enable the licensing authorities to locate the previous papers. With a view to avoid delay in the disposal of such communications, the trade should give brief details of the reference received by those from the licensing authority concerned, the particulars of the goods sought to be imported and the I.T.C. classification of such goods. The communication should also indicate its subject matter, the category of the importer, the type of the licence to which it pertains, whether it relates to the grant of the licence or amendment or revalidation thereof or an appeal, and it should also give the number and date of the relevant origi- nal application.

Enquiries regarding the position of applications

304. (a) The arrangement under which the importers could enquire the position of the import application by filling the import enquiry slip has been discontinued.

(b) The licensing authorities will make every effort to dispose of the applications as quickly as possible. If an application for an import licence is not disposed of within one month from the date of its receipt in the licens- ing section, the licensing authority will issue an interim reply to the applicant. i£ an applicant docs not receive an interim reply even alter this time limit, he can bring the matter to the notice of the Public Relations Officer in the import trade control office concerned or book an interview with the officer concerned through the Enquiry Officer in order to know the reasons for the delay in the disposal of his application.

(c) Where a licensing authoriiy calls for certain documents or information from the applicant or any deficiencies in the application are communicated to the applicant, and the applicant has furnished the required documents or in- formation or made good the deficiencies but does not receive any further communication from the licensing authority within 15 days thereafter, •bo can bring the matter to the notice of the Public Relations Officer or book an interview with the Officer concerned to know the reasons for the delay in the disposal of the application.

(d) Applications for import of capital goods and heavy electrical plant wiii lake somewhat longer time. But in such cases also, if the applicant finds that there has been a delay in the disposal of his application, he can bring the matter to the notice of Public Relations Officer or book an interview with the concerned officer to know the reasons for delay.

Interviews

305. (1) Ordinarily all matters should be settled by correspondence. However, in cases where the importers consider it necessary to discuss in person, matters relating to general policy and principles of Import Trade Control or they wish to make a personal submission in the case of appeals and representations against orders passed in individual cases or they desire to present their case in person in respect of any appli- cation for licence or to represent against the delay in the disposal of their applications for licences or appeals, they may book an interview with the officer concerned.

(2) The interviews with the officers other than the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports and the heads of the regional licensing offices should be booked in advance at the Enquiry Office which is attached to each licensing office.

It should be noted that the person desiring to book an interview should be the accredited represen- tative of the applicant and he should comply with all the regulations concerning the interviews which arc prominently displayed on the trade notice boards in all the licensing offices or otherwise publicised. Entry in the rooms occupied by the clerical establishments or personal contract with the staff of the Import Trade Control Organisation is strictly prohibited.

306. The requests for amendments of minor nature or revalidation of licences which do not require detailed examination, requests for issue of letter of authority, correction in the lists of goods, affixing security seal on the licence or on the lists of goods, and other matters of minor nature like signatures of the licensing authority beiow the condition on the licence or on the lists of goods attached to the licence, will also be entertained at the "Counter" in the licensing office concerned. For this purpose the "Counter" system has been introduced

in the licensing offices. The applications will be received at the "Coun- ter' against a proper receipt and the applicant will be given a fixed date for collecting back the licence on production of the said receipt.

Import of disposal, second-hand or reconditioned goods

307. (1) In terms of the Imports (Control) Order, 1955 dated the 7th December, 1955, it is a condition of every licence that the goods for then import of which the licence is granted, shall be new goods, unless otherwise stated in the licence.

graph  4  below)  who  will  then  verify  the  particulars  from  their records,  subscribe  the  necessary  variflcation  certificates  on  one  copy and  return  it  to  the  applicant  so as  to  enable  him  to  forward  the  same to  one  of  the  officers  referred  to  in  the  preceding  paragraph.  The applicant  should  note  ihat  each  pige  0/  the  l.V.C. should  bear  the  seal and  signature  of  the  I.T.O.  concerned.  It  is  not  necessary  to  obtain a  separate  number  from  each  licensing  authority  as  for  instance,  a Registration  Number  allotted  by  the  Joint  Chief  Controller  of  Im- ports  and  Exports,  Calcutta  will  be  held  valid  by  the  Joint  Chief Controller  of  Imports  and  Exports,  Bombay  and  vice  versa  and  so  on. Applicants  should  quote  the  l.V.C.  Registration  number,  if  any, allotted  to  them  by  the  Import  Trade  Control  Authorities  during the  last  two  annual  licensing  periods.
4.  The  proper  income-tax  authorities  for  the  purpose  will  be  the Income-tax  Officer  of  the  Circle,  Ward  or  District  where  the  appli- cant  is  assessed  or  is  assessable  to  Income-tax.

JV Th?  Registration  Number  allotted  against  a  complete  Income- tax  Verification  Certificate  will  be  valid  for  the  financial  year  in which  the  certificate  js  issued  and  for  the  subsequent  two  financial years.  For  instance,  on  an  Income-tax  Officer's  certificate  issued during  the  period  from  April  1966  to  March  1967,  a  Registration Number  allotted  would  be  valid  for  the  financial  years  April  1966— March  1967,  April  1967—March  1968  and  April  1968—March  1969. For  this  purpose  a  distinct  symbol  is  given  on  the  Registration  Num- bers  which  shows  the  month  as  well  as  the  year  when  its  validity expires.  It  would  be  in  the  interest  of  applicants  if  Inccme-tax Verification  Numbers  are  duly  obtained  by  them  well  in  advance  of the  expiry  of  the  old  Number.  However,  In  cases  of  genuine  diffi- culty,  the  licensing  authority  may  grant  a  licence  even  after  the expiry  of  the  validity  of  the  l.V.C.  No.  subject  to  the  condition  that the  applicant  shall  produce  the  valid  l.V.C.  No.  before  the  end  of the  licensing  period.  This  concession  will  be  available  only  for one  licensing  period.
6.  Such  Government  or  Semi-Government  Institutions  as  are  not liable  to  income-tax  need  not  apply  for  either  the  Registration  or Exemption  Number  and  may  submit  applications  for  licences  with out  quoting  either  number.

2.  Under  Rule  5  of  the  said  Baggage  Rules  a  passenger  may  be allowed  to  import  free  of  duty,  at  the  discretion  of  the  proper Customs  Officer  such  articles  as  could  reasonably  be  treated  as baggage  or  are  of  a  kind  normally  used  for  making  gifts  or  as  souve- nirs  upto  Rs.  800/-  (Eight  hundred)  upto  stay  of  3  months  abroad.

For these  articles  no  value  limit  has  been  laid  down.  (This  provision will  not  apply  to  watches  and  jewellery  for  which  there  is  a  value limit).

In  order  that  passengers  may  not find  it  difficult  to  satisfy  the  Customs  Officers  in  such  cases,  they should  invariably  obtain  export  certificates  for  the  jewellery  at  the time  of  leaving  India,  unless  the  jewellery  is  of  small  value,  i.e.  less than  Rs.  1,600/- in  the  case  of  ladies  and  Rs.  800/-  in  the  case  of  men.
(b)  One  wrist  watch,  in  the  actual  use  of  the  passenger  will  be treated  as  jewellery  and  will  be  included  in  the  value  limits  indicated above.
5.  In  addition,  a  passenger  can  also  be  allowed  free  of  duty  other articles  to  a  limit  of  Rs.  800/-  in  value.  Such  articles  should  not  be imported  for  sale  or  exchange,  but  should  be  in  the  nature  of  bag- gage  or  gifts  or  souvenirs.  This  concession  will  be  allowed  only  at the  discretion  of  the  Customs  authorities,  and  will  be  refused  if from  the  nature  or  quantity  of  the  articles  brought  it  appears  that these  conditions  are  not  fulfilled.  A  passenger  shall  not  be  permitted under  this  rule  to  import  without  payment  of  duty  a  large  number of  units  of  the  same  article,  even  though  their  total  value  may  be within  the  free  allowance.

Articles  like  refrigerators,  airconditioners,  typewriters,  radio- grams  or  record  players,  whether  new  or  used,  which  fall  within the  prescribed  value  limit  will  be  passed  without  a  licence.  Duty will, however, be charged if  tlhe value of  an individual  article  exceeds above limits.  Motor  cycles and scooters can also be imported  without an  ITC licence  if  their  value  falls  within  the  above  value  limits. Duty  will,  however,  be  charged  on  all  motor  vehicles  including motor  cycles  and  scooters  irrespective  of  their  value.
6. The  values  mentioned  in  paragraphs  4  and  5  above  are  the "real  values" under  the  Sea  Customs Act  and  not  the market  values In  India.  The  real  value  will  ordinarily  be  approximately  equal  to the  retail  price  of  the  article  abroad,  provided  it  is the  proper  price and  not  a  specially  reduced  one.
7.  The  allowances  mentioned  in  paragraph  5  above  will  not automatically  apply  to  children  or  to  any  passenger  who is less  than 18  years  of  age.  Customs  officers  may,  however,  allow  to  such  a child  or  juvenile  passenger  articles  of  the  kind  described  in  that paragraph,  upto  a maximum  value  of  one  fourth  of  the  limit  which applies  to  an  adult  passenger  coming  after  the  same  period  abroad. The other  conditions laid down in paragraph  5 will continue to apply.
8.  Articles  which  are  free  of  duty  as  baggage  do  not  require  an Import  licence.  Articles  of  the  nature  described  in  paragraph 5 above, which are charged to duty will also be exempted from  import licence,  provided  the  total  value  of  all  such  articles,  including  those which  are  passed  free  of  duty,  does  not  exceed  the  prescribed  value limit.  In  addition,  passengers  who  have  stayed  out  of  India  for  9 months or  more, may  be  allowed  to  import on  payment  of  duty,  but without  an import licence, articles of  bona fide baggage upto  an addi- tional  value  of Rs, 800/-.  Where  the  Customs  authorities  decide  that the articles are not bona fide baggage or where the  goods are in excess of  the  value  limits,  an  import  licence  will  be  necessary.  Import licences  are  not  ordinarily  issued  In  such  cases,  and  therefore, passengers  bringing  such  goods  will  render  themselves  liable  to appropriate  action  for  breach  of  the  regulations.

Copy of  Ministry  of  Commerce Public  Notice  No.  60-ITC (PN)/50  dt.  21-7-1950
SUBJECT:—Clearance  of  merchandise  financed  by  Exchange Bank* in  India  in  the  event  of  licence  holders  not  having honoured  the  bills  drawn  under  confirmed  letter*  oj credit.
It  has  been  represented  by  certain  Bank  Associations  that  in  the went  of  a  negotiation  under  a  confirmed  irrevocable  letter  of  credit being  dishonoured  by  the  drawee  the  bank  has  to  implement  its un- dertaking  under  the  credit  to  remit  the  foreign  exchange  in  pay- ment,  but  in  the  absence  of  a  valid  import  licence  made  out  in  it" own  name, it  is unable  to  clear  the  goods from  the  Customs.
2.  In  order  to  avoid  this  difficulty  it  has  been  decided  that  al) licences  will  hereafter  be  issued  subject  to  the  following  condition which  will  be  endorsed  on  the  licence:—
"It  is  a  condition  of  this  licence  that  where  an  irrevocable letter  of  credit  is  opened  by  the  holder  of  the  licence  to finance the  import  of  any  goods covered  thereby,  then  the authorised  dealer  in  foreign  exchange  through  whom  the credit  is  opened  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  joint  holder  of this  licence  to  the  extent  of  the  goods  covered  by  the credit."
3.  The  effect  of  this  endorsement  will  be  that  where  letters  of credit  have  been  opened  against  a  valid  import  licence  and  on arrival  of  the  goods,  the  licence  holder  does  not  honour  the  billi drawn  against  the  letter  of  credit  and  does not  produce  the  licence tor  the  clearance  of  the  goods,  the  Bank  which  has  opened  the letter  of  credit  will  nevertheless  be  able  to  clear  the  goods  through the  customs  and  remit  foreign  exchange  to  the  foreign  suppliers ii> whose  favour  the  credit  was  opened,  by  debit  to  the  licence  in question.
4.  In  this  respect  the  following  procedure  will  be  observed  with immediate  effect:—
(i)  The  Banks  clearing  the  goods  in  such  cases  will  provide the  Customs  with  certificates  to  the  effect  that  the  import has  been  made  and  that  foreign  currency  has  been  remit- ted  by  the  Bank  or  its  agents  under  the  authority  of  a valid  import  licence  and  a  confirmed  irrevocable  letter  of credit.
 
(11)  They  will  also  produce  the  exchange  control  copy  of  the licence,  or  if  this  is  not  available,  they  will  furnish  ful> particulars  of  the  licence  and  of  the  licensee

(Ill)  At  the  time  of  clearance,  the  value  of  the  good*  will  t* debited  to  the  licensee  concerned  in  the  licence  RegUtei maintained  by  the  Custom  House  with  an  indication  that clearance  has  been  effected  by  the  Bank.  If  and  when  tht Customs  c"py  of  the  import  licence  is  produced  subse- quently  by  the  original  licensee,  the  fact  that  some  of  the goods  falling  under the licence have already been cleared will  become  immediately  apparent  and  the  Custom* House  will  then  endorse  the  necessary  debit  on  the licence  itself.
 
(iv)  To  ensure  that  the  Customs  copy  of  the  Import Licence 1" not  utilised  at  some  other  port,  intimation  of fluch clear- ances  by  banks  will  be  sent  by  the  Customs  to  all  other oorts  giving the  balance  for  which  the  licence la  valid
