Decentralization of Fixation of Brand Rate of Duty Drawback - Board Clarifies issues regarding Old Claims
BOARD's Circular No. dated 06.03.2003 explained the decentralization of the work related to fixation of Brand rates of Duty Drawback. In Para 5 of the said Circular it was stated that the Ministry would continue to consider and dispose off all residual pendency relating to the Brand rate applications. More than seven years passed since the issue of this Circular, but still at times request is received in the Board relating to brand applications filed by the exporters prior to the decentralization of this work in 2003 .
Board advises the field formations to inform the trade through suitable Trade/Public Notices that it is no longer handling cases relating to fixation of Brand rates of Duty Drawback. Hence all references in this regard should henceforth be made to the jurisdictional Commissionerate of Central Excise with complete set of documents, who shall deal with such references on the basis of the facts available on record.
