Attention of Authorised Dealer Category - I (AD Category - I) banks is invited to paragraph D.2 of the Annexure to A. P.

With a view to further liberalising the procedure, it has been decided that AD Category - I banks, through whom the export proceeds were originally realised, may henceforth, consider requests for refund of export proceeds of goods exported from India and being re-imported into India on account of poor quality. While permitting such transactions, AD Category - I banks are required to :

i) exercise due diligence regarding the track record of the exporter;

ii) verify the bonafides of the transactions;

iii) obtain from the exporter a certificate issued by DGFT / Custom authorities that no incentives have been availed by the exporter against the relevant export or the proportionate incentives availed, if any, for the relevant export have been surrendered;

iv) obtain an undertaking from the exporter that the goods will be re-imported within three months from the date of remittance; and

v) ensure that all procedures as applicable to normal imports are adhered to.

3. AD Category - I banks may bring the contents of this circular to the notice of their constituents and customers concerned.
