Installation certificate requirement: central excise verification leads to deemed installation if certificate not issued within thirty days.
Under the EPCG scheme, importers must obtain an installation certificate confirming capital goods are installed at declared premises; registered units require certification by the jurisdictional Central Excise authority after physical verification, while unregistered units may submit a Chartered Engineer's certificate. The licence holder must intimate installation to the jurisdictional Superintendent with copies of the EPCG authorization and application and obtain a dated acknowledgement. The Superintendent must verify details and issue the certificate immediately and in any event within thirty days; lack of issuance within that period leads to a deeming of installation, whereas detected discrepancies are escalated to higher Central Excise and Customs and Licensing authorities.
