from Regional Licensing Authority also.

claimed either by the DTA unit or by the SEZ Unit.
DTA unit can claim this benefit either from the
Licensing Authority or the DC concerned. In case
a SEZ unit opts to apply for the DEPB benefit,
then based on the disclaimer certificate from
the DTA unit, the SEZ unit will file the application
with the DC concerned. This Public Notice also
explains in detail the documents, which are required
to be submitted for claiming DEPB benefit.
