Jaipur Customs has issued Public Notice No. 15/2025 announcing the rollout of Ekal Anubandh – the Single All-India Multi-Purpose Electronic Bond (SEB) and Electronic Bank Guarantee, in line with CBIC Circular No. 04/2025-Cus dated 17 February 2025.
The new system replaces multiple port-wise bonds with a single electronic bond applicable across India. Importers and exporters will now be able to submit one unified bond through ICEGATE, with provisions for electronic stamp duty payment, digital signatures, and online linking of electronic bank guarantees.
The initiative aims to cut costs, save time, and simplify compliance by eliminating repetitive paperwork and administrative delays. According to Jaipur Customs, the phased rollout will be supported by advisories issued by DG Systems, and user feedback will be factored into implementation.
