A Trade Notice No. 2/2011 was issued on 10.1.2011 specifying the procedure to be followed for submission of hard copies of application for grant of registration certificate to this Office. In continuation thereof, it is informed;

(i) No registration certificate will be granted if the IEC of an applicant is in the Denied Entities List (DEL). The applicant will have to get his name deleted from DEL before applying for grant of registration certificate for export of cotton.

(ii) Each applicant had indicated its name & IEC. The allocation published in Trade Notice No. 1/2011 dated 10.01.2011 contains the name and IEC so provided. At the time of scrutiny if these details do not match with the database of DGFT, such application will be ineligible for issue of Registration Certificate.

(iii) Applicants may note that for the preparation of Republic Day Parade and rehearsal, there may be entry restriction and security requirements in and around Rajpath (where Udyog Bhawan is located) especially after 20th January, 2011. Therefore they may seek earlier dates rather than wait for 20th, 21st and 24th January, which are the last three days.
