Supplies from the Domestic Tariff Area to an SEZ unit were treated as deemed exports under the FTP, so the entitlement to EPCG export benefits had to be tested under Chapter 8 of the FTP rather than by a narrow reading of the SEZ Act.

Invoices together with bank realisation certificates were sufficient evidence of compliance, and the review petition failed because absence of Bills of Export alone could not defeat the claim.
