Shipping bill amendments were allowed under Section 149 to correct the reward column from "No" to "Yes" for MEIS claims, as the wrong entry was treated as a curable procedural lapse and not a bar to substantive export incentive. The Tribunal held that delay in seeking amendment must be assessed on the facts of each case, and the notification-based time limit could be extended where the competent customs authority was satisfied with the explanation. The preliminary forum objection was rejected because the matter had long remained before a Single Member without objection from Revenue. Consequential relief was granted.
