The following issues, which are being faced by the exporters, have been brought to the notice of officials of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry : (1) The revised application form has changed the unit of measurement of the export product, namely, Made-up articles covered under chapter 63 from “Pieces” to “Kgs” for the purpose of calculating the value caps. However, many of the exporters have already filed their applications with “Pieces” as the unit of measurement before the revised RoSCTL application wasput in place. All such exporters will now receive the RoSCTL amounts which will be lower than their actual entitlement. It is re- quested that a mechanism should be introduced under which such exporters can file supplementary claims for the balance amounts. (2) In many cases, calculation of RoSCTL as per applicable per- centage is correct but net amount receivable does not match with after excluding MEIS from the actual amount of RoSCTL. This is due to the fact that for the pur- pose of deducting MEIS, the sys- tem calculates 4% of the fob value of exports as per the Shipping bills. Whereas, the MEIS has been granted on the actual fob value realised as indicated on the E- BRCs. In this regard, it is sug- gested that the value of duty credit scrips that has been issued should be deducted and not at the flat rate of 4%. (3) Different RoSCTL rates appear for the same HS codes on different Shipping bills. For instance, if the RoSCTL rate is 8.2%, for some NCM-MARCH 2020 76pertaining to crop year 2018-19 for the sales made from 03.03.2020 till 30.04.2020. 2.

The discount rates as specified will be considered for the quan- tity purchased during particular day and subject to maximum ceil- ing of 15000 bales under this scheme 4. The above discount scheme is applicable on CCI processed stock. *The above bulk quantity discount scheme is in supersession of bulk incentive scheme for stock of Cotton season 2018-19 w.e.f 03.03.2020 shipping bills the rate is shown as 8.2% and for some other shipping bills the rate shown is 7.8% for the same HS code. (4) Some of the Shipping Bills are not appearing on the online system. (5) In some of the cases, for the same HS codes where the RoSCTL rate is 8.2%, the system shows the rate as 5% and on such shipping bills the Ad Hoc 1% additional RoSCTL rate have been applied. In response to the exporters' com- plaint, Mr. Anil Aggarwal, Addl. Direc- tor General of Foreign Trade, New Delhi has advised Mr. Akshay SC (Dy DGFT) to get details of cases from individual exporters where these prob- lems have arisen so that the issue is examined/resolved. Accordingly, Dy. DGFT has asked the affected export- ers to approach DGFT with specific cases along with all details. He has assured that the same would be taken up.
