FORTY INDIAN COAL IMPORTERS UNDER THE DRI SCANNER FOR OVER-INVOICING : HINDU BUSINESS LINE
Coal ExcavatorThe Finance Ministry and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) of India are said to have stepped up investigations into the alleged over-invoicing of coal imports by 40 companies — both in the public and private sector — to the tune of 35,000 crore (approximately US$ 5.259 billion*).
 
“It is an issue that has been going on for the past two-three years and now we are doing a full investigation,” said a person familiar with the development, Hindu says.
 
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, as quoted by Hindu, is understood to have issued a nationwide alert asking customs offices to look into all coal imports starting this fiscal. The Finance Ministry is also understood to be looking into the issue and will take a decision based on the final DRI report.
 
“The Finance Ministry has been apprised. It will try to work on measures to address the problem,” said the source.
 
The paper further said, according to sources, the DRI found a number of companies artificially inflating the price of their coal imports from Indonesia by as much as 100 per cent to get a higher power tariff and also “siphon off” funds.
 
The Hindu Business Line further noted that, the inflated invoices were issued by intermediary invoicing agents in Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong and British Virgin Islands, among other jurisdictions, according to the DRI alert notice.The average price of Indonesian coal with a gross calorific value of 3,800-4,200 Kcal/kg ranged between $38 and $49 a tonne on free-on-board (FOB) basis, according to most international indices. Adding freight and insurance charges, the CIF (cost insurance and freight) rate of Indonesian coal should be $60-55/tonne during this period, the said.
 
But invoices were inflated by up to 100 per cent.
 
Accordng to Hindu, if there has been over-invoicing, it would have resulted in electricity consumers paying more, analysts said, adding that typically coal costs are a pass through for power generators and are factored in during tariff revisions by regulators.
 
Every dollar increase in the per tonne cost of coal results in 4-5 paise (approximately US cents 0.0601056  - 0.0751320*) per unit increase in electricity tariff. The over-invoicing could have pushed up the tariffs by 80-90 paise (approximately US$ 0.0120211 - 0.0135238*) per unit. *(1 USD = 66.5495 INR -XE Currency Converter)
