Postal Bill of Exports PBE-I for GST Refunds for all international sellers on eBay

Finally, on 14th June 2018, the government has implemented a method for e-commerce sellers shipping via IndiaPost, to realize their sales as exports. With this step, the e-commerce exporters will be able to receive the GST refund.

The duly filled PBE-I has to be furnished by the exporter to the FPO at the time of booking the shipments and it will serve as an equivalent of a Shipping Bill.

This will help all of the eBay exporters (crossborder sellers) to receive GST Refunds.

I am attaching the format for your reference. 

Please share your inputs, updates etc to help us all to understand, follow and simplify the procedure. I shall be happy to answer any questions to the best of my understanding on this thread.

What a joke. Instead of making it easier for us, they are making it difficult. I can hardly sell 10 to 30 items per month and now my post office told me- i have to go foreign post office for shipping. I cannot run between cities to ship a handful of small packets. They said-  First custom officer will scan and clear the packets and then book the packets. Their site says- due to shortage of staff, brokers can be used. When do we get fair and honest laws in this country without the smell of of bribary and corruption.

For sellers selling average 10 to 20 packets per day is a diffiuclt task now. Postal Bill of exports for GST refunds are worth for sellers selling more than 100 packets a day. Will be a daunting task for small sellers to hire a broker and get the packets cleared everyday and very difficult for sellers residing in small towns where packets are not permissable to be booked at small post offices now.
