so you mean to say that executed bond will be realised by department & therafter, no further EPCG licence can be issued to that importer in future..

no other liability arises? like interest, penalty etc.?

Many Many Thanks for your support Mr. Verma... !

Para 5.5.2 of FTP 2010-11 is about Indigenous Sourcing of Capital goods

Para 5.8.3 of FTP 2010-11 says

Where export obligation of any particular block of years is not fulfilled in terms of the above proportions, except in such cases where the export obligation prescribed for a particular block of years is extended by the Regional Authority subject to payment of composition fee of 2% on duty saved amount equal to unfulfilled portion of EO, such Authorization holder shall, within 3 months from the expiry of the block of years, pay duties of customs (alongwith applicable interest as notified by DOR) of an amount equal to that proportion of the duty leviable on the goods which bears the same proportion as the unfulfilled portion of the export obligation bears to the total export obligation.

Where can I get the notificaton by DOR regrding Interest amount ?
