Accounting Exports - Duty Chargeable

As a measure of economic growth, for inflow of foreign currency and for competitive pricing in international market, Government encourages exports without duty. However, the manufacturer may resort to the provision as per Rule 18 and will charge duty. There are reasons for charging duty i.e. the manufacturer would like to utilise the CENVAT Credit which otherwise would be unutilised and later claim refund. This is called "exporting under Rebate".

To account for Export of Goods under Rebate, use the Nature of Removal Export - Duty Chargeable.
