3. However, if any irregularity on producing an in proper document by the seafarer, in this regard, is detected, at any point of time, the same shall be dealt as per the provisions of the M.S. Act., 1958 and M.S. CDC (Rules), 2001, as amended.

Such intimation shall be in sent in batches every fortnight at least. Similarly at the receiving end, the Shipping Master concerned shall cause verifications of such endorsed CDCs with reference to the corresponding particulars there in as may be available on his official records. In the event of any discrepancy therein being noticed by the latter Shipping Masters, he shall inform his counterpart concerned immediately.

Shipping through the DDG (e-Gov) of the D.G.S headquarters Simultaneously action for the suspension/ cancellation of such irregular CDCs may be taken as per the law inforce under due procedures.

4. All other conditions and procedures promulgated contextually in the said M.S. Notice 14 of 2013 remain unchanged, mutatis – mutandis

5. These instructions / procedures shall be effective from the of date the issue of this Order.
