oods exported out of India, once both the Export General Manifest (EGM) and valid return in Form GSTR-3 or Form GSTR-3B, as the case may be, has been filed. In other words, filing of EGM, apart from filing of Shipping Bill and GSTR-3B is a mandatory requirement for processing refund claim. The Shipping Lines / Agents have been filing EGM electronically for exports originating from gateway ports. However, for cargo originating from ICDs, the Shipping Lines / Agents were filing EGM in manual mode.

In cases where the EGMs have not been incorporated the Shipping Bills pertaining to ICDs, the Shipping Lines / Agents have been asked to file supplementary EGMs

The jurisdictional officers at the gateway port shall strictly monitor the EGM pendency and error reports available in ICES, The officers at the gateway port shall resolve the EGM errors in an expeditious manner by asking the Shipping Lines / Agents to file requisite amendments and approving those amendments on ICES. In cases, where there are errors either in the Shipping Bill or in the local EGM (i.e. truck or train summary), the remedial action shall be taken by the jurisdictional officer in 1CD. 7. It has been observed that mis-match of information provided in local and gateway EGM mainly occurs because of (i) incorrect gateway port code in local EGM (error M); (ii) change in container for LCL cargo or mistakes committed while entering container number (error C); (iii) incorrect count of containers (error N); (iv) mistakes in entering the nature of cargo – LCL or FCL (error T); and (v) the Let Export Order is given in ICES after
