Muthukumaran: On 19 October 2016 We are facing the following difficulties while making the MEIS Claim for our exports made from kandla SEZ unit. At present, we are moving the goods from Kandla Gandhidam SEZ unit & filing the Shipping Bill (SB) at the Kandla Port itself (which is Non EDI Port and hence the Shipping Bill is Non EDI Bill) and exporting goods through the Mundra Port ( Which is EDI port). Due to this practise we could not enter the Mundra Port as port of export in the Shipping Bill Repository as Mundra is EDI Port where as Kandla is non EDI port i.e the Shipping Bill are pertains to non EDI port and exports happens at EDI port (if enter the Mundra as port of export in the Shipping Bill repository, then it shows the error that “with effect from 01.04.2015 No manual Shipping Bill are allowed to be entered in the Shipping Bill repository for the EDI port”). Further, if we select the Kandla as a port of export, then we are required to attach at least one Shipping Bill for the Port of export here the same is Mundra for which we don’t have any Shipping Bill.
