Sub:
Implementation of PGA eSANCHIT- Paperless Processing
under SWIFTUploading of
Licenses/Permits/Certificates/Other Authorizations (LPCOs) by PGAs .
'eSANCHIT' application is successfully in operation since
01.04.2018: Further with the objective of further reducing physical interface
between Customs/regulatory agencies and the trade and to increase the speed of
clearance in both imports & exports, a facility to upload digitally signed
Licenses I Permits I Certificates I Other Authorizations (LPCOs) by
Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) on eSANCHIT
at all ICES locations across India was introduced from 16.11.2018 vide Circular
No. 44/2018-Cus. dated 13.11.2018.
2.
Initially, only three PGAs namely CDSCO, CPCB and WCCB were
brought onboard eSANCHIT with the facility to
upload one LPCO each. Subsequently one more PGA namely DGHC was
also brought onboard with all its LPCOs. Now 23 more PGAs with their
LPCOs as detailed in the Annexure are being brought
onboard eSANCHIT platform. Further, the above mentioned PGAs that were already onboard shall also
start uploading their remaining LPCOs. The communication of the IRNs pertaining
to LPCOs uploaded by PGAs will also be made to the
beneficiaries only through the email ids used for ICEGATE registration. A
separate circular is being issued on the requirement
of the ICEGATE registration for IEC holders.
3.
Since the facility to upload the LPCOs is now being fully made available to the
PGAs, therefore, the beneficiaries i.e. importers/exporters/customs brokers
would not be allowed to upload the previously issued LPCOs on eSANCHIT w.e.f. 01/07/2019.
Further, to facilitate the members of the trade (beneficiaries), the PGAs are
required to upload the LPCOs issued by them during the last 15 days from the
above cut-off date. Any LPCOs issued on a prior date may also
be uploaded by the PGAs on eSANCHIT, in order
to enable the beneficiary to utilize the same.
4.
All Chief Commissioners of Customs are requested to
issue public notices. Feedback and queries, if any, may be
sent by email to icegatehelpdesk@icegate.gov.in.
5.
Any difficulties, in this regard, may be brought to
the notice of the Board.
