Delegation of examination authority permits inspector deputation to examine and seal DEPB export consignments when superintendent absent. For exports under Duty Exemption Schemes such as QBAL/DEPB, the Superintendent may depute the Inspector in charge of the factory to examine and seal consignments when the Superintendent is absent; deputation should preferably be in writing, with post facto approval allowed if necessary. The Inspector must record details of the examination-including AR 4/export invoice numbers, samples drawn as required, and the corresponding Advance Licence/DEEC/DEPB number and date-in the XT 1 diary. This modifies prior Board circulars to permit such deputation and prescribes necessary record keeping and sampling procedure.
