Madam/Sir,

Subject: Online filing of AEO T2 and AEO T3 applications: Launch of Version 2.0 of the web application for filing, real-time monitoring, and digital certification-reg.

The AEO application processing for AEO T1 on the web-based portal has been functional since December 2018. To take this endeavor for digitization forward, in line with the government’s Digital India initiative, the Board has decided to launch a new version (V 2.0) for the on-boarding of AEO T2 and AEO T3 applicants by way of online filing, real-time monitoring, and digital certification.

This updated version of the existing web application will be made accessible for both applicants and customs officials from 7.7.2021.

The new version (V 2.0) of the web application is designed to ensure continuous, real-time, and digital monitoring of the physically filed AEO T2 and AEO T3 applicants, on submission of the physical documents in the jurisdictional Principal Chief Commissioners/ Chief Commissioner’s office (AEO cell), shall register on AEO web application. On successful registration, the applicant shall upload the duly filled relevant annexures for their AEO T2 and AEO T3 application, as the case may be. The applicant who are already registered (Existing T1 status holder applying for T2) at aeoindia website are not required to register again. The existing login credentials can be straightaway utilized for uploading either the AEO T2 and AEO T3 application annexures, if eligible, as per the Circular 33/2016-Customs dated 22.07.2016 as amended.

Once the relevant annexures are uploaded by the applicant, the applicant will be able to monitor the processing of their application at each stage in real-time on their dashboard. In addition, in case of any deficiency in the application, the same can be responded through the online upload of required additional documents by the applicant on the web application itself.
