Duplicate Copies of Export-Import Licence/ Certificate/ Permissions/ CCPs 2.15.3
The validity of duplicate licence/certificate/ permission shall be co-terminus with the original license and therefore no request shall be entertained if the validity of the original licence/ certificate/ permission has expired.
However, in case when DEPB/ DFRC is lost by Customs/Licensing Authority, duplicate licence/ certificate/ permission shall be issued for a validity of six months.
However in the case of loss of DEPB not involving either the Customs or the Licencing Authorities, the duplicate DEPB issued would have a validity equivalent to the balance period of validity of the original DEPB on the date of application for the duplicate DEPB.
