The importer would approach their authorized bank with a request to obtain an attested/ certified copy of the Bill of Entry if available with them and obtain a dated acknowledgement. In case the importer is unable to get a copy from the bank, the importer would make a request to the Assistant / Deputy Commissioner (Statistics), clearly stating the purpose for issue of certificate supported by proof, along with following documents:
(i) A copy of the letter submitted to bank & their acknowledgement. If a reply has been received from the bank then copy of reply is also to be submitted.
(ii) A police complaint/ FIR as a proof of the EDI Bill of Entry having been actually lost (not required in case of mutilated B/E).
(iii) An indemnity bond (duly notarized in the required pro forma) to indemnify any loss of revenue to the Government due to misuse.
(iv) The mutilated copy of the EDI Bill of Entry (in case of mutilated B/E only).
