[Customs
Public Notice No. 92 dated 2nd June 2011]
Subject: Renewal/extension of Bank Guarantees.
It has been observed that, renewed/extended Bank Guarantees
(BGs) are being forwarded to this Commissionerate
directly by various banks under cover of a letter addressed to the President of
India. Commissioner Customs, JNCH. In the absence of Reference/file no of the
concerned section, precious time is lost in trying to locate the section to
which the BG on the said extension/renewal letter is meant o be delivered to.
There are various Sections in this Commissionerate
like Groups, Bond Department, No ting Section etc. where the Bonds along with
Bank Guarantees are accepted. Although the above said letters mention the name
of the Applicant, it is insufficient to associate the Bg with the respective Section where it is required
to be sent for follow up. It has been noticed that in the absence of
correct/specific reference, the assessment process or enforcement in case of
default, is delayed.
2. To mitigate the
problem and to help in speedier updation of details,
it has been decided that on the request of the applicant, whenever any Bank
Guarantee or its renewal/extension letter is issued, it should mention relevant
file number/section/group of the custom House. To ensure this, the importer or
his representative at the time of application to Bank should mention the name
of relevant section/group for incorporation of the same by the concerned Bank
on the communication regarding Bank Guarantee or renewal/extension of Bank
Guarantee.
3. Difficulties, if
any, faced in the implementation of this public notice may be brought to the
notice of the undersigned.
