of <h1>Exporters Can Amend Shipping Bills to Claim MEIS Rewards, Tribunal Rules in Favor of Correction for Exporters.</h1> <h3>Gokul Agro Resources Limited Versus Principal Commissioner Of Customs</h3> The CESTAT allowed the appeal of the petitioner who exported goods under the MEIS but incorrectly marked 'No' for rewards. The Tribunal ruled the ... Entitlement for amendment in the shipping bill - HELD THAT:- In light of this advisory, if the petitioner makes an application to the competent authority for seeking the amendment of Shipping Bills, the portals shall accept such amendment in light of the aforesaid advisory and grant the rewards that the petitioner would otherwise be eligible under the Scheme. Petition allowed. Petitioner exported goods under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) and, through oversight, recorded the reward flag as 'No' on the shipping bill. An application under Sec. 149, Customs Act, 1962 for amendment of the shipping bill was rejected, and the departmental appeal likewise failed. The Customs, Excise & Service Tax Tribunal (CESTAT) allowed the appeal, holding the petitioner was entitled to amendment of the shipping bill to claim MEIS rewards. A subsequent manual amendment was effected but could not be posted on the portal initially. An advisory from the Director General of Systems and Data Management, CBIC, states system design 'does not allow post EGM amendment' but that 'an option is added 'Post EGM MEIS / Reward amendment' under AC Role in ICES,' which will 'allow officer to amend MEIS / reward scheme flag from N to Y' and enable transmission of the SB to DGFT. The Court directed that, in light of the advisory, portals shall accept applications for amendment and grant eligible MEIS rewards; rule made absolute to that extent.
