**Executive Summary**
DGS Order No. 09 of 2021, dated 10.02.2021, is Addendum I to DGS Order 37 of 2020, concerning the non-levy of penalties for corrections in seafarer data. It extends the relaxation of fines for MTIs for another three months, from 10.02.2021 to 09.05.2021, due to the ongoing pandemic and virtual classes.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **Background and Initial Directives:**
* Training Circular 08 of 2019 assigned INDOS number generation to MTIs.
* MTIs are penalized Rs. 3000 for each correction to Seafarer data.
* **Original Relaxation:**
* DGS Order No. 37 of 2020 relaxed the fine of Rs. 3000 for MTIs for three months (10.11.2020 to 09.02.2021).
* **Extension of Relaxation:**
* Due to virtual classes and the pandemic, physical verification by MTIs is not possible.
* The non-imposition of fine of Rs. 3000/- on MTI is extended for another three months from 10.02.2021 to 09.05.2021.
**Impact Analysis**
**Stakeholder: Maritime Training Institutes (MTIs)**
**Impact**
MTIs will continue to benefit from the temporary relaxation of the penalty for corrections in seafarer data. This alleviates financial burden during the period of virtual classes and the pandemic when physical verification is difficult.
**Action Required**
MTIs should be aware of the extended period during which they will not be charged penalties for corrections, and adhere to the guidelines for requesting corrections.
