3.4 The DRI authorities sent a letter dated 16.02.2015, inter alia, informing the respondent that certain exporters had attempted to export Floor Coverings, classified under various headings under Chapter 57, by overvaluing the same in order to avail/claim export incentives such as Duty Drawback and benefits under the Focus Product Scheme, in excess of their entitlements.
3.5 The premises of certain exporters and Custom Brokers were also subjected to search operations and it was found that some of the addresses mentioned by the exporters in their IECs (Importer Exporter Code) were non-existent. It is alleged that IECs had been obtained by using the identity of persons, who were not the actual exporters but were being used as a front to perpetuate the fraud. The respondent was informed that the role of Custom Brokers had also been examined and it was, inter alia, found that the petitioner had also filed SBs for M/s Vee Dee Textiles and M/s S.S. Exports, which were suspected to be highly overvalued.
