2 FOREWORD This Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) was implemented in India from 1st January 2003 to verify the legitimacy of import / export of rough diamonds as per UN resolutions and to curb entry of conflict diamonds into the mainstream. The system is operational through the offices of The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council at Mumbai & Surat and also through the offices of Development Commissioners of Special Economic Zones at Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad and Surat in India. We are now submitting our Annual Report to the KP Chair for the calendar year 2011. During the year under review India issued around 3251 KP certificates for export parcels and endorsed 22745 KP certificates for import parcels under KPCS including transactions handled by concerned SEZs. India also received the 2nd Round of Review Visit during November 2010. The Review Team visited Mumbai, Surat and New Delhi during the visit. The scheme is being implemented smoothly in India. We are committed to ensure that the diamond trade remains free of “conflict”, “blood” or “tainted” diamonds. March, 2012 Sabyasachi Ray Mumbai, India Executive Director GJEPC, Mumbai

Specimen of KP Certificate for export from India India’s KP Certificate was modified as the Council's Logo was changed and also to accommodate the new address of the GJEPC. The new KP Certificate was used from 2nd January 2011. The specimen copy of the KPC is enclosed as Annexure 1 to the report. 5. Record Keeping and Scanning of documents. Other than physically maintaining the records for 3 years, the Council has scanned the Original KP Certificates and other important documents related to export / import applications handled by its Mumbai and Surat office from the year 2004 till 2009 and is an ongoing process for 2010 onwards. The scanned documents are
19 stored in the separate retrieval software which is user friendly. The Council is in the process of scanning of documents for other departments also. 6. ERP System of Navision for KPCS Council implemented the ERP system for KPCS which links the Regional Office Surat and Special Economic Zones handling export / import shipment of rough diamonds with the Council real time. India was reporting as per date of processing of the Import application for submitting quarterly data to WGS till Dec 2010. The software reports have been accordingly changed to incorporate the Date of Issue for Import shipments for reporting of quarterly data w.e.f. 1st quarter of 2011. 7. Online submission of Import and Export applications A web based online software has been developed and is working smoothly which enables the importer / exporter to apply for KP Certificate online. The delivery / issuance of KP Certificate is however done physically. The system is operated through Council's website www.gjepc.org and is password protected. It has been our endeavour to produce a transparent and detailed report. We hope you find this report useful. With regards Sabyasachi Ray Executive Director

    2 FOREWORD This Kimberley ProcessCertification Scheme (KPCS) was implemented in India from 1st January 2003 to verify the legitimacy of import / export of rough diamonds as per UN resolutions and to curb entry of conflict diamonds into the mainstream. The system is operational through the offices of The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council at Mumbai & Surat and also through the offices of Development Commissioners of Special Economic Zones at Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad and Surat in India. We are now submitting our Annual Report to the KP Chair for the calendar year 2011. During the year under review India issued around 3251 KP certificates for export parcels and endorsed 22745 KP certificates for import parcels under KPCS including transactions handled by concerned SEZs. India also received the 2nd Round of Review Visit during November 2010. The Review Team visited Mumbai, Surat and New Delhi during the visit. The scheme is being implemented smoothly in India. We are committed to ensure that the diamond trade remains free of “conflict”, “blood” or “tainted” diamonds. March, 2012 Sabyasachi Ray Mumbai, India Executive Director GJEPC, Mumbai
