In a significant step towards Ease of Doing Business and digitalisation of Customs compliance, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), vide Advisory dated November 10, 2026, has announced the launch of the Unified Application Dashboard for the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) under the SWIFT 2.0 framework, effective from September 17, 2026.
The initiative aims to simplify the application process, improve transparency and provide a centralised digital platform for managing Licences, Permits, Certificates and Other Authorisations (LPCOs) relating to the gem and jewellery sector.
Single-Window Access for GJEPC Certificates
The Unified Application Dashboard enables importers and exporters to access and manage the following three GJEPC-related authorisations through the SWIFT portal of ICEGATE:
- Kimberley Process Export Certificate
- Kimberley Process Import Certificate
- Trade Permission Certificate
The facility forms part of SWIFT 2.0’s broader initiative to integrate regulatory permissions, licences, inspections and documentation across Participating Government Agencies (PGAs).
Real-Time Tracking of Applications
Trade users can track the live status of their applications for GJEPC certificates through the Unified Dashboard.
The system provides updates on whether an application is issued, pending, rejected or under process, thereby improving transparency and enabling better monitoring of regulatory approvals.
Online Access and Download of Certificates
The dashboard also enables users to view and download LPCOs issued by GJEPC, facilitating convenient electronic access to relevant trade documents.
This digital facility is intended to simplify document management and reduce procedural difficulties for importers and exporters.
Centralised Compliance Repository under SWIFT 2.0
The advisory further highlights the introduction of a Compliance Repository under SWIFT 2.0, allowing registered ICEGATE EXIM users to view No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and LPCOs issued by various government agencies.
The integration of additional Participating Government Agencies into the digital repository is being undertaken in a phased manner.
Boost to Ease of Doing Business in Gem & Jewellery Sector
The Unified Dashboard is expected to facilitate smoother regulatory compliance, improve visibility of application status and strengthen digital coordination between trade stakeholders and government agencies.
