Reversal and Refund of CENVAT Credit

In case of exports under bond the Excise Duty will not be charged. But the Duty already paid on the raw materials which are used for manufacturing the finished goods can be utilised for paying any other duty (Excise or Service Tax). In case if there are no other sales apart from Export Sales, then the Assessee can apply for refund of duties paid on inputs from the Government.

Note: Before applying for Refund, its required to reverse the CENVAT Credit.
