“Wherever SION permits use of either (a) a generic input or (b) alternative inputs, unless the name of the specific input(s) [which has (have been used in, manufacturing the export product] gets indicated / endorsed in the relevant Shipping Bill and these inputs, so endorsed, match the description in the relevant Bill of Entry, the concerned Authorisation will not be redeemed. In other words, the name/description of the input used (or to be used) in the Authorisation must match exactly the name/description endorsed in the Shipping Bill. At the time of discharge of export obligation (EODC) or at the time of redemption, RA shall allow only those inputs which have been specifically indicated in the Shipping Bill.”
