Excise duty is not required to be paid on finished goods which are meant for export though the facility of Captive Consumption is availed. If the same goods are cleared in DTA, duty would be payable as Captive Consumption facility is availed of. Demanding duty by Dept.on export transaction is not sustainable as the goods are attracted duty but the same would be exported without payment of duty under rule 19. The Notification No.67/95 states that duty should not be exempted or Nil on finished goods for the Captive Consumption materaial but not mentioned regarding any export.
In my view, the Department has no basic proof to show that it would be payable on exported goods.
