26 May 2009 What is the difference between Rebate and refund? Please cover procedural aspect as well.

27 May 2009 Refund - Under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules - accumulated credit to be refunded.
Rebate u/n 11 or 12 - Rule 5 of Export of Services Rules - Input services used in export refunded. Alternative tax paid on export of services ( by utilising credit) rebated.
For procedures pl see a good commnetary. Both processes are inodinately long and full of ted tapism at present.

27 May 2009 If in both the cases the amount is refunded by the department (though under different rules and reasons), why the word "rebate" used?

20 July 2025 Refund = You get back money because you paid too much or have accumulated credit.
Rebate = You pay less tax from the start as a concession.
