There is an second stage dealer who has purchased goods from first stage dealer on paying duty of excise. Then, such dealer is supplying goods to the undertaking in SEZ without levying any duty of excise or VAT.
Whether duty paid by the second stage dealer at the time of purchase is refundable and if yes, what procedures need to be followed?..
