Yes. Rupee trade is allowed with Nepal.
When you export goods to nepal under rupee trade, no export benefit or rebate of goods are permissible, in fact the goods has to be exported after payment of duty. Rebate is granted to the Government of nepal.
However, when you export goods to nepal and recieves payment in convertible foreign exchange, goods can be exported without payment of excise duty, under bond under Notification 45/2001.

However, if the exported is receiving payment in convertible foreign exchange, clearance under bond is allowed. This facility can be availed by merchant exporter also. probably you are asking a simple trader invoice, i.e. goods are not being cleared from manufacturer's premises. Off course the goods can be exported, however the goods may suffer duty again while entering nepal in form of duty imposed by Nepalese Government. Goods cleared on Nepal Invoice gets preferential treatemnt in Nepalese Custom Law. |

Dear Sirs,
I beg to differ and please refer tthe Excise Circular no. Circular No. 810/7/2005-CX
1st March, 2005,
Quote
It may be seen that the notification No. 45/2001-CE (NT) does not differentiate in the procedure on the basis of the status of the exporter and hence, no need was felt to mention the terms ‘merchant- exporter’ or ‘manufacturer-exporter’ in the said notification".
Above is self explanatory which says there is no diff between type of exporters
and you can export without payment of duty. Manaul isNOT clear on this. but the Circular makes it clear

Well John- under Central Excise, whenever anything is to be exported- by a manufacturer or a merchant exporter- ARE-1 or ARE-2 or Nepal Invoice has to be made in the factory itself. Whenever export is done from outside the factory or export warehouses appointed under Rule 20 of the Central Excise Rules, no export benefit, under Central Excise, can be taken.
Thus even when merchat exporter has to export, for excise benefit nepal invoice from manufacturer premises is required for excise benefit purposes.

Intresting point.
At no place Foreign Trade Policy says that no benefits shall be available for export to Nepal/Bhutan. Special provision has been made for rupee trade with Russia (Annex 11 of Handbook of procedure), however no such provision is there for rupee trade with Nepal/Bhutan.
FTP takes case of this by adding provision of free foreign exchange earning, in case of value addition required, EOU (para 6.5 of FTP), duty credit scrips based on free foreign exchange earning etc. Thus export to Nepal in rupee payment shall not be entitled for any of these benefits.

That para has nothing to do with export benefits we are talking about.
Foreign trade policy governs export & import, and hence governs the export to nepal also. Therefor the para makes provision for denomitation/contract also with nepal. But that does not mean export to nepal will get export benefits.
