APPENDIX
SUBJECT:— -Schedule of conditions governing import licences for imports under UK/India Maintenane
Loan (No. 2) 1970.
The Import licence will be valid for Imports only from the U.K. of goods or materials wholly or mainly produced or manufactured in the U.K. Where the non-U.K. content is likely to execa^ 10%. this should be brought to the notice of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs, Economic Aid Accounts Branch, 10, Parliament Street, New Delhi and their approval obtained b:fore proceeding to enter into firm commitments.
a. The licence will be valid for a period of twelve months. All payments must be completed within a month of the expiry of the licence. Individual payments must be arranged upon ship- ment of goods. Credit facilities, when offered by suppliers can be availed of uptojw days from the date of shipment provided no interest charges are payable for the credit extended (directly or in- directly) and all payments are completed within the period indicated herein.
3. Each import licence number will contain a sutfx " M L" and the full licence number includ- ing this sujfix and the date of the liecence should be entered in all the documents required to be submitted to the Government in connection with the imports under the licence. However, where afl import licence is issued with reference U an allocation out of the sum of F 2 million earmarked in the Loan for allocation under the import policy for Actual Users to British-orjcnted industrial units, firms, etc, the licence will be affixed with the rubber stemp "UK/India amantcnance Loan (No. z)/i97O—£ 2 million Segment" (This will be in addition to the suffix ML mentioned above).
"' r •• • . '- ,j,r . I U . . A . ' 1 ' .I ' 'l ^ -l" 'UU "^
M.Q The payment procedure and tho documentation laid down in paragraph 5 and 6 below will apply to allocations under the £ 1 million Segment a]8o, and the procedure relating to Kipping Loans in the past will not apply to thin segment.
I 4. Firm orders on c.i.f. or c. & f. basis (FOB/FAS if so desired by Government Departments, public sector undertakings) must be placed on the supplier in the UK (which express!on includes tho Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) within four months from the date of issue of the import licence. The authorised dealers in foreign exchange will not allow remittance or facility to establish letters of credits unless satisfactory documentary evidence is produced by the licencce indicating that orders have been placed within the prescribed period of four months. In cases where orders could not be placed within this period, the liceDsee should approach the licence-issuing authprity with detailed justification for getting the prescribed period for ordering suitably extended. Only on production of a letter from the licence-issuing authority, indicating the extension of the period ftfr ordering, would the authorised dealers in foreign exchange allow the facility of remittance or establishing letters of credit in cases where orders have not been placed within the first four months. The samo drill will apply to cases of subsequent extensions also.
5. Payments to the U.K. Suppliers can be arranged through normal banking "channels, by making remittances. Any payments towards Indian agent's commission should be made in rupee Jn India. Such payments, however, will form part of the licence value and will, therefore, be charged to the licence
6. For obtaining reimbursements under the loan the Government of India have to furnish to the U.K. authorities a copy of the form 'A' (Reserve Bank application form for a remittance In foreign currency) duly completed and bearing the s;gnaturcs of a bank in India certifying the pay- ments that have been authorised by that bank, and supported by a copy of a certificate of origin from the contractor in the U.K., duly signed by him, in the form set out in Appendix 'B' or Appendix B(Chcmicals) whichever is appropriate. Specimens of these certificates are attached as Annexure I and Annexure II respectively. The licensee should arrange to obtain from the supplier in the U.K. adequate number of copies or photostat copes of the appropriate certificate of origin so that ea'chtime a payment is arranged a copy of the certificate of origin duly s-gned can be attached to the form 'A' to be passed on by the authorised dealer to the Ministry of Finance. The importer should also fill in an extra copy of form 'A' which, together with a copy of the appropriate certificate of origin, will be sent 10 the Ministry of F nance by the aui honsed dealer. The authorised dealer will ensure that in respect of each payment the form'A'duly completed and a copy of the support ing certificate of orig'n (duly signed by U-K. contractor) arc sent to the Ministry of Finance (De- partment of Economic Affairs) Economic A d Accounts Branch, Jccvan Deep Build ng, 10-Parliamcnt ment Stieet, New Dblhi-i under advice to the importer, as soon as the payment i8 made. It must be ensured that all the appropriate columns in form 'A' arc filled in correctly and completely. Tho full licensee number (including the suffix 'MI,' and an indication whether the licence relates to the £ 2 million Segment) and the date thereof should appear on each form 'A' without fail. The certi- ficate by the Authorised dealer should clearly bring out the name of the foreign bank through which the payment has been made tothe supplier and the date on which the payment has been authorised. None of the important columns in form 'A' or the certificate of origin should be left blank.
NQTE. These arrangements do not absolve the licensee of his rcsponsibil ty to ensure that all Forms 'A' are forwarded from time to time by the banks to the Ministry of Finance as indicated above.
7. A monthly report, as in Annexure III, showingthe utilisation status of thelicence , should be furnished to the Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs) Economic Aid Accounts Branch, Jeevan Deep Building, io-Parliament Street, New Dclhi-i, untillheliccnceis fully utilised with a copy to the Ministry of Internal Trade, Industrial Development and Company Affairs (Dcptt. of Industrial Development) Forcgn Exchange & Credit Section, Udyog Bhavan, New Delhi-n.
