DTA sales by a 100%EOU

Do you have the permission to move in DTA?

Well as per STPI approval we can make DTA sales as per entitlement...but since thre is no export turnover( being the operations just commenced) is there a possibility of getting a DTA sales approval

Do you have any Advance DTA sale Permissionon on the basis of Projected Export Sale of the first year from Development Commissioner ?? If not, you can apply for the same and get the sale done.

Can you let me know what are the chance of getting Advance DTA sales approval and how to go about it-the procedure thereof?

You can follow the Foreign Trade Policy, Chapter – 6, Clause (6.8 K), the same is mentioned below : clause - 6.8 DTA Sale of Finished Products/ Rejects Waste/ Scrap/ Remnants and By-products The entire production of EOU/EHTP/STP/BTP units shall be exported subject to the following: (a) Units, other than gems and jewellery units, may sell goods upto 50% of FOB value of exports subject to fulfillment of positive NFE on payment of concessional duties . Within the entitlement of DTA sale, the unit may sell in DTA its products similar to the goods which are exported or expected to be exported from the units. No DTA sale at concessional duty shall be permissible in respect of motor cars, alcoholic liquors, books and tea (except instant tea) or by a packaging/ labeling /segregation/ refrigeration unit/ compacting/micronisation/pulverization/granulation /conversion of mono-hydrate form of chemical to anhydrous form or vice-versa and such other items as may be notified from time to time. Sales made to a unit in SEZ shall also be taken into account for the purpose of arriving at FOB value of export by EOU provided payment for such sales are made from EEFC Account. Sale to DTA would also be subject to mandatory requirement of registration of pharmaceutical products (including bulk drugs). (b) For services, including software units, sale in the DTA in any mode, including on line data communication shall also be permissible up to 50% of FOB value of exports and /or 50% of foreign exchange earned, where payment of such services is received in foreign exchange.

(d) Unless specifically prohibited in the LOP, rejects may be sold in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) on payment of duties as applicable to sale under paragraph 6.8(a) on prior intimation to the Customs authorities. Such sales shall be counted against DTA sale entitlement. Sale of rejects upto 5% of FOB value of exports shall not be subject to achievement of NFE.

Payment made by DTA to SEZ in INR-is it deemed foreign exchange? It is, but which RBI Circular says so? I cant find the RBI/DGFT Circular/Notification that can be relied on for precisely that information.
