Procurement certificate issuance simplified: Superintendents and Range Officers may issue certificates to textile and chemical export units subject to safeguards. Procurement certificates for import clearance in textile and chemical export units will be issued by Superintendents and CT-3 certificates by Range Officers, subject to a clean track record. Assistant Commissioners/Deputy Commissioners may delegate issuance powers, refer doubtful cases to Commissioners, and require post-facto approval for Range Officer-issued certificates. Existing safeguards and prior monitoring instructions remain applicable and the earlier circular is modified accordingly.
