Refund/rebate of excise duty.

This query is : Resolved 

16 March 2013 One of my client manufacturing Exempted goods.

But he purchase raw material on which excise duty paid.

Meanwhile, the manufactured goods which are exempted are Exported.

Can he get the excise duty refund paid on raw material.

Thanks in Advance.

16 March 2013 If final product is exempt then you should follow procedure under notification no. 21/2004-CE(NT) dated 6.9.2004 to obtain rebate of duty paid on inputs.

16 March 2013 client Exported six month before against H form.

What is the exact procedure to be followed for rebate of duty.

Thanks Arunji.

16 March 2013 Please suggest.

16 March 2013 Without following the procedure you can not apply for rebate.

16 March 2013 Sir,

It means goods which already exported, cannot be claim for rebate?

20 July 2025 Great question! Here's the clarity on rebate/refund of excise duty on inputs used for exempted goods that are exported:

Key points:
If your client manufactures exempted goods, excise duty is not payable on the final product.
However, excise duty paid on inputs/raw materials used in manufacturing those exempted goods is eligible for rebate under Notification No. 21/2004-CE(NT) dated 6.9.2004.
Export of exempted goods does not restrict your client from claiming rebate on excise duty paid on inputs.
The rebate is allowed as inputs have duty paid, but the output is exempt.
Regarding goods already exported:
The rebate claim is typically made after manufacture and sale/export of exempted goods.
So, even if goods were exported 6 months ago, your client can still file a rebate claim for excise duty paid on inputs used for that export.
Timely filing is important — generally, the claim should be filed within a stipulated period (usually within 6 months to 1 year from the date of export or clearance, depending on the notification/rules).
Procedure to claim rebate:
File rebate claim in prescribed format with jurisdictional Central Excise Commissionerate as per Notification 21/2004-CE (NT).
Submit documents such as:
Proof of payment of excise duty on inputs
Export documents like Shipping Bill, Export Invoice, H-form (if applicable)
Manufacturer’s invoice for inputs
Details of exempted goods manufactured and exported
The rebate claim is processed, and after verification, the amount is refunded or adjusted.
Summary:
Export of exempted goods does not disallow rebate of excise duty paid on inputs.
Rebate claims can be made even after export, subject to time limits.
Follow Notification 21/2004-CE(NT) for detailed procedure.
