Referring to the announcement made by him introducing electronic filing and online processing of applications so that licences at least to the known exporters like the status holders and green card holders could be issued within 24 hours, Shri Maran mentioned that 97.5 per cent licences all over the country were today being issued within these time limits. In fact, in Pune and Bangalore, licences in respect of applications received upto 12 noon are being issued the same evening, the Minister said. Recalling the scheme for assistance to States for exports, Shri Maran said that a beginning had been made and a provision of about Rs.100 crore had been allocated in the current Budget for involving the State governments in the national export effort.
Procedures have been simplified, interface of exporters with DGFT has been cut down by reducing the number of committees from 9 to 4 and streamlining of others. Simultaneously, Shri Maran said that the Department of Revenue would take similar steps including the following: automatic customs clearances to status holders and green card holders; reduction in percentage of physical verification and random drawing of shipping bills; issuance of Receipt by Customs for ensuring accountability; expeditious verification of DEPB and DFRC; simultaneous logging of DEEC at the time of shipment; and redemption of advance/EPCG licence on the basis of No Bond issued by DGFT.
