Issues: Whether the expression "value" in proviso (vii) to Notification No. 197/62, issued under Rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, should be read as the assessable ex-duty value under Section 4 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, or as the value at the time of export, being value-cum-duty.
Analysis: The notification used the expression "value of the goods at the time of exportation", and that phrase had to be given meaning according to its context. Section 4 dealt with valuation for levy purposes and with pre-clearance assessable value, whereas the notification concerned the value at export. Reading Section 4 into the notification would make the words "at the time of exportation" redundant and produce an artificial result. The explanation to Rule 97A, which treated value in a manner closer to export-related refund situations, provided the proper contextual guide. Since "value" was not defined in the Act for this purpose, a contextual and commercially realistic meaning was required.
Conclusion: The expression "value" in Notification No. 197/62 had to be understood as the export-time value, i.e. value-cum-duty, and not as the ex-duty assessable value under Section 4. The assessee's rebate claim was entitled to be processed and sanctioned.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a rebate notification for exported goods refers to the value at the time of exportation without defining value, the term must be construed contextually by reference to export value and not by importing the assessable value concept under the valuation provision for levy.
