The Directorate General of Foreign Trade vide Trade Notice No- 1/2018-19 dated April 04, 2018 has apprised about ‘Export Obligation Discharge Certificate (“EODC”) monitoring system,’ which is designed for monitoring the progress of EODC applications of Advance & EPCG authorizations.
This facility will allow exporters to:
- view status of their pending applications
- raise query if system does not show the application status as “pending” and RAs would be required to take consequential action in this matter
Once a query is raised by any exporter, Regional Authority (“RA”) shall verify whether any such application is submitted for EODC which is yet to be disposed of and after verification RAs can either:
- reject query when it is found that no such application has been submitted or details of pending case have already been entered by RA;
- accept a query,
- if such application is already submitted by the applicant but the same is not yet entered by RA in the EODC monitoring system. On acceptance, RA should update the status with either EODC issued/DL issued.
- if no such EODC/DL issued and case is still pending, RA can accept the query and can update status subsequently.
