The authorized dealers will submit their claims for reimbursement of TT Charges using the revised template.

Furthermore, the text of the certificate by the Head of Internal Audit Department of ADs as required has been amended by adding the following new clause: “The claim(s) do not include transactions that pertain to remittances received or credited in RDA (NRVA/NRBVA)”.
