It is usually preferable not to pay duty rather than to pay it and wait for refund from the government. However, in the following situations, it is beneficial to pay duty and claim rebate under Rule 18 of Central Excise Rules, 2002: (A) If assessee has balance of duty in Capital G oods CENVAT Credit Account, it is advisable to pay duty and claim refund, as balance in Capital Goods CENVAT Credit Account is never refundable. The said situation may take place if duty paid on capital goods is heavy and assessee may not be able to utilize the credit. (B) An SSI Unit may pay excise duty and claim rebate, as getting refund of CENVAT Credit of inputs is not an easy preposition. Further, he is not entitled to get refund of duty paid on capital goods. (C) When duty paid goods are proposed to be exported. (D) Claiming rebate is comparatively easy procedure than claiming refund of duty paid on inputs under CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.
