Abolition of ICES Group 7 prompts reassignment of bills and mandates e-payment with PFMS validation for Drawback processing. Abolition of Group 7 in ICES relegates only pre-existing pending Bills of Entry to the discontinued group while new licence/scheme bills are allocated to Groups I-VI by highest assessable value and processed under the regular FIFO rule. Exports-related changes require ICEGATE e-payment for export duty/cess and mandatory PFMS bank-account validation for Drawback, preventing Shipping Bills from final drawback scrolling unless PFMS-accepted, aligning Drawback payments with other electronic disbursal mechanisms.
