The beneficiaries i.e. the importers/exporters/customs brokers would not be allowed to upload the LPCOs on e-SANCHIT w.e.f. 16th November, 2018.
As of now only the following PGAs and documents in imports and exports as detailed below has been covered:-

Further, to facilitate the members of the trade (beneficiaries), the PGAs are required to upload the LPCOs issued by them during the last 15 days from the date of implementation of this facility / project. Any unutilized LPCOs issued on a prior date may also be uploaded by the PGAs on e-SANCHIT, in order to enable the beneficiary to utilize the same.
The beneficiaries i.e. the importers/ exporters/ custom brokers are advised to register on ICEGATE website to enable the PGAs to link the LPCOs to their IEC/GSTN and email ID. Only after the beneficiary is registered on ICEGATE, the unique Image reference Number (IRN) for the LPCO uploaded by PGA be communicated to the beneficiary. This IRN would then be used by the beneficiary to link the LPCO with the Bill of Entry / Shipping Bill for Customs clearance.
