Where the rate of drawback is to be determined, the application should be addressed to the DGFT (Drawback Cell), Udyog Bhavan, New Delhi, with a copy to the RLA concerned.

Consolidated Applications

Applications for claiming Duty Drawback or Refund of Terminal Central Excise duty should be submitted simultaneously and together. However, advance licences for intermediate supply/deemed export under Duty Exemption Scheme can be claimed separately.

Supplementary Applications

Where a supplier does not claim all the facilities together in the consolidated application but prefers later on one or more applications for claiming other incentives, all such applications submitted subsequent to the date of submission of the initial application, will be treated as supplementary applications and may be subject to the Cuts in the quantum of assistance as prescribed in the relevant policy.
