Updation of Bank A D Code in
Import
[Ref:
Public Notice No 24 /2011 dated 9 March 2011]
During feeding of
details of a Transit Bond, one of the mandatory parameters is to feed the particulars
of the Bank issuing the Bank Guarantee. The details are auto-populated in the
system once correct Authorized Dealer AD Code of the bank is fed, provided, the
said branch of the bank pertaining to that particular AD Code is registered in
ICES system by ICEGATE.
2) It has been observed that often the
CHAs/Importers are giving the wrong AD Code of the Bank branch issuing Bank
Guarantee, which sometimes may get accepted (as the wrong AD Code is registered
in the system) although there will be mismatch in the address of the bank
issuing Bank Guarantee and that appearing in the system. Hence all
importers/CHAs are advised to fill in correct AD Code of the Bank Branch
issuing the bank guarantee.
3) It is also noticed that sometimes, the AD Code
of bank branch is not reflected in Import and/or Export menu of ICES System
even though the said AD Code is registered in
ICEGATE. This happens mostly in cases where the Bank guarantees are being
issued by the newly opened Bank Branches. In such a situation, EDI section,
JNCH has been updating the said AD Code in ICES System locally. It is however
noticed that this results into delay as the procedure for the same has not been
standardized and intimated to public /concerned.
4) In view of above, it is hereby, directed that
whenever any AD Code of bank branch issuing Bank guarantee is not reflected in
Import and /or Export menu of ICES system, the following procedure shall be
followed:
i) The CHA/Importer shall approach the
helpdesk in EDI alongwith following documents,
a) A copy of AD Code registered in the ICEGATE
site.
b) Requisition letter from the Importer for updation of AD Code in Import/Export Menu.
c) Bank letter for updation
of AD Code in Import/Export Menu.
ii) On the basis of the above said documents
the concerned TA in EDI help desk shall enter the AD Codes in the Menu
available in both
Import and Export side.
5) Difficulties, if any, faced in the
implementation of this Public Notice may be brought to the notice of the
undersigned.
