CAN A MERCHANT EXPORTER TAKE THE BENEFIT OF EPCG SCHEME AS A FULLFILLMENT OF EXPORT OBLIGATION IF THE MANUFACTURER EXPORTER (SUPPORTING MANUFACTURER)IS ALSO THE EPCG AUTHORIZATION HOLDER ?
SUPPOSE XYZ (LUDHIANA) IS A MAUNFACTURER EXPORTER AND ALSO A EPCG AUTHORIZATION HOLDER
ABC (DELHI) IS A MERCHANT EXPORTER AND ALSO A EPCG AUTHOIRIZATION HOLDER
IF XYZ SALES OF GOODS TO ABC AS A MERCHANT EXPORT, THEN IT WILL BE THE MERCHANT EXPORT BY XYZ AND EXPORT OF GOODS BY ABC WILL BE DIRECT EXPORT UNDER THIRD PARTY EXPORT. IN THIS CASE CAN BOTH COMPANIES XYZ AND ABC TAKE BENEFIT AS FULLFILLMENT OF EXPORT OBLIGATION UNDER EPCG SCHEME BY EXPORT THEM ? OR EXPORT OBLIGATION WILL BE FULFILLED ONLY MANUFACTURER EXPORTER AND NOT THE MERCHANT EXPORTER ?

If a merchant exporter is EPCG authorization holder, name of supporting manufacturer shall also be indicated on shipping bills. At the time of export, EPCG authorization No. and date shall be endorsed on shipping bills which are proposed to be presented towards discharge of export obligation."

DEAR SIR, I HAVE ALSO READ 5.7.1 OF FTP AND I AM ALSO AGREE WITH YOU. BUT SIR THIS WAS NOT MY QUERY, MY QUERY IS THAT CAN MANUFACTURER EXPORTER (SUPPORTING MANUFACTURER) AND MERCHANT EXPORTER DISCHARGE THEIR EXPORT OBLIGATION AGINST A SINGLE EXPORT BILL ?
FOR EXAMPLE X IS A MANUFACTURER EXPORTER AND ALSO A EPCG HOLDER Y IS A MERCHANT EXPORTER AND ALSO A EPCG HOLDER IF X SALE TO Y AS A MERCHANT EXPORT, AND Y DO DIRECT EXPORT OF THAT GOODS WHICH WAS RECEIVED BY HIM (FROM X AS A MERCHANT EXPORT) THEN WHO CAN TAKE THE BENEFIT OF DISCHARGE OF EXPORT OBLIGATION ON THAT SALE.
