Quick Summary
This discussion concerns an EPCG license where the export obligation was fulfilled in 2016-17, but the installation certificate from a chartered engineer was not obtained at the time. The user is seeking advice on whether they can still close the license by submitting a current dated installation certificate with an explanation, or if there are penalties for this oversight. They also inquire about alternative methods for submitting the EPCG documents for closure.

The importer has to approach for EPCG license from licensing authority – Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Application for EPCG with necessary supporting documents is filed with DGFT. Based on the amount of import duty exemption, the value addition is fixed up and export obligation has to be fulfilled accordingly. If you could not complete the export obligation in time specified by licensing authority, you may be permitted to get extended the export obligation period for further period of time. However, if you have already finished export obligation, you can sell the manufactured goods locally also in domestic tariff area (DTA).

Sir,

Can i submit the documents without installation certificate. (EO completed in 2016-17)

or

should i obtain current dated installation certificate.

current dated certificate can be submitted by giving explanation authentically
