Simplification of payment procedure: manual challans accepted without officer signatures, streamlining customs duty and fee payments. No customs officer signature is required on manual challans for payment of customs duty, interest, amendment fees or other government dues; the Cash Section will accept such payments from importers or Customs Brokers and the payer shall submit the receipted copy of the manual challan to the concerned Group or Section. The exception for surrender of MEIS benefits persists under the procedure in Public Notice No.07/2019.
