You can actually look at the situation with your BRC on DGFT site( dgft.gov.in) Note: All BRCs with a BRC date on or after August 17, 2012 are eBRCs, regardless of when they were realized.

Q.6 My delivery bill has numerous items, each qualified under various plan. For asserting advantage under Different plans, I really want separate acknowledgment an incentive for every item. However, I see a problem here because banks only report a single consolidated realization value for each Shipping Bill—even if a shipping bill contains multiple items. How should this value be divided among multiple Shipping Bill products in order to submit applications for various schemes?

Ans. Assume a Delivery Bill contains 3 product items A,B and C with Dandy qualities US $40, US $60 and US $80 individually (all out Dandy US $180/ – ). Now, if the e-BRC’s total NFE is US$90/-, the benefits on three products, A, B, and C, will be calculated at 20 US$, 30 US$, and 40 US$, respectively, using pro-rata calculations.

The following examples make this easy to comprehend: Example 1 (Single Export Product): If the e-BRC’s foreign exchange realization is US$ 100/- and the shipping bill’s FOB value is US$ 80/-, the benefit would be granted for US$ 80/-. Illustration 2 (Single Export Product): If the e-BRC’s foreign exchange realization is US$100 and the Shipping Bill’s FOB value is US$120, then US$100 would be eligible for FTP benefits.

Ans. The FOB value will be divided proportionally according to the shipping bill’s product list and the multiplication factor if there are multiple products on it. This can be effortlessly figured out through the accompanying representation: Assume a Delivery Bill contains 3 product items A,B and C with Dandy qualities US $40, US $60 and US $80 individually (all out Dandy US $180/ – ). Now, if the e-BRC’s total NFE is US$90/-, the benefits on three products, A, B, and C, will be calculated at 20 US$, 30 US$, and 40 US$, respectively, using pro-rata calculations.

Please provide the following calculation details: A-DEPB and Chapter 3 schemes (ANF 3C and ANF 4G) stipulate that the commission amount must be limited to actual value or 12.5% of net FOB value realized for entitlement purposes; whichever is the lesser. The following formula will be used to determine the allowed commission, item by item: CT= (P/T)*CP CT-permitted commission (thing wise ) P-Evaluated Dandy worth of thing in INR as referenced in SB T-All out SB Coxcomb esteem in INR CP-Absolute commission on SB in Unfamiliar Money B-Advance Approval and EPCG scheme(ANF 4D, ANF 4F, ANF 4H and ANF 5B) To compute qualification, commission sum is to be avoided.

Q.15: In the DEPB and Chapter 3 schemes, how is Realized FOB, including commission, calculated?

Ans. FOBItemFC = [FOBTotalFC * M + CT] FOBItemFC – Item wise Realized FOB including commission FOBTotalFC – FOB Value in Foreign Currency M-Multiplication Factor CT-Allowable commission(item wise) = (Assessed FOB value of item in INR as mentioned in SB /Total SB value in INR) * FOB Value in Foreign Currency * MF + Allowable commission(item wise) Note: This formula is The applicable exchange rate is the rate on the LEO (Let Export Order) Date.
