Asked By

We have received Spares under Zero duty EPCG Scheme (Notification No. 102/2009 (Customs). The Spares received were installed in the factory. Beside our request letters to the jurisdictional Excise Range & Division, the installed spares are not physically verified and the installation certificate is pending since last couple of months. We are registered with Central Excise, hence, we do not have option to obtain certificate from independent Chartered Engineer (Notification No. 64/2008 – Customs dt. 09/05/2008). Kindly advice in the matter.

Regards,

VINAY

Dear Vinay,

You cannot obtain a certificate from independent chartered engineer as you are registered with Central Excise Department.  If required, have a meeting with the concerned jurisdictional Central Excise AC/DC or Commissioner in this regard.

You may also send the reminder letters to the concerned Range Superintendent of Central Excise with marking CC to Customs Department and DGFT.  You may also file an application under RTI.  Such steps would put some pressure on the jurisdictional Range Superintendent of C.E.

Be firm but polite in this matter. Keep the all correspondence intact for future references.

In case of import of spares, the installation certificate is to be produced within three years from the date of import. In your case, the import is done only a couple of months back, hence there is no need for any immediate rush for the installation certificate.

Also, officers are generally a bit more busy with office work during the month of March and also  few officers already entrusted with election duty work.

I suggest to wait for few months.
 

7) that the capital goods imported, assembled or manufactured are installed in the importer's factory or premises and a certificate from the jurisdictional Deputy Commissioner of Central Excise or Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise , as the case may be, is produced confirming installation and use of capital goods in the importer's factory or premises, within six months from the date of completion of imports or within such extended period as the Deputy Commissioner of Customs or Assistant Commissioner of Customs, as the case may be, may allow :

Provided that in case of import of spares, the installation certificate shall be produced within three years from the date of import :
