NEW DELHI : The Department of Posts is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra (DNK) Initiative, aimed at promoting commercial exports across the country. With over 1,000 Dak Ghar Niryat Kendras established nationwide, these centres offer exporters a range of services including e-filing of postal bill of export, self-booking, electronic customs clearance, packaging, free pick up, trace and track, volume-based discounts and hand holding, support and guidance exporters.

In a major development, the integration between Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra (DNK) portal has now been successfully established with the Indian Customs Electronic Gateway (ICEGATE), Indian Customs EDI System (ICES), Public Financial Management System (PFMS) and Export Data Processing & Monitoring System (EDPMS) of RBI. This integration will streamline data flow between DNK and systems of Customs and PFMS to automate IGST refund. The flow of data into EDPMS will facilitate the issuance of electronic Bank Realization Certificates (e-BRC) by authorized dealers (AD Banks). Exporters will gain improved visibility over their export transactions and payments, enhancing decision-making capabilities.

Exporters utilising the DNK Portal must register their AD Code on the ICEGATE Portal and provide accurate bank account details to ensure timely IGST refunds and availing of e-BRC facility of banks. The registration process is vital for verifying bank details and facilitating direct credit of refunds.

This integration marks a significant milestone in facilitation of exports through the postal network, particularly from remote and smaller locations, contributing to the ease of doing business for Indian exporters and is in direct alignment with Government of India’s schemes of ODOP (One District, One Product), promoting GI Tagged products, Make in India etc to boost the exports.
