<h1>New Circular Sets One-Year Limit for Central Excise Duty Refunds to Diplomatic Missions; Outdated Instructions Withdrawn.</h1> The circular addresses the refund of Central Excise duty to foreign diplomatic missions in India. It clarifies that, following amendments to the Central Excise Act, the time limit for filing refund claims is one year from the purchase date, replacing previous instructions that allowed only three months. The circular withdraws outdated instructions from 1957 and 1970, stating that refunds are now governed by Notification No. 3/2001-CE, which provides exemptions for goods used officially by diplomatic missions. Refunds are processed by the relevant Commissionerate, and no extensions beyond the statutory one-year limit are permitted. Separate instructions apply to petrol refunds.
