Export Duty on Steel Products cleared to SEZ – at least clarify who has to pay the duty
DDT has information that DRI sleuths have raided the premises of some manufacturers of steel products who have cleared their goods to SEZs . If at all export duty is to be paid, it has to be paid by the SEZ units and not the manufacturers. It is high time the CBEC clarifies the position, as to whether export duty is to be paid and if so by whom. Board should end this uncertainty.
And if export duty is to be paid, why the SEZ units should get the products from Indian manufacturers; they can as well import! Is the whole idea to kill the Indian Industry?
