About this template
What is this template?
This is a sworn legal declaration used specifically to notify the Indian licensing authorities of a lost export document. It is not an application form itself but a supporting document required to verify the loss under oath. It contains a specific indemnity clause where the deponent assumes personal or corporate liability for any future misuse of the missing original.
When should you use it?
Use this document when a physical export licence has been destroyed or misplaced and you are filing an application for a replacement with the DGFT. If you only need to update the details on an existing licence, use an Amendment Application instead.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
