Customs refund claims depend on prior reassessment or amendment of assessment, with post-out-of-charge procedures strictly regulated. Refund claims for excess customs duty on Bills of Entry require prior modification of the assessment or self-assessment through the proper statutory route, and refund cannot be entertained under section 27 alone. Group officers are to re-assess Bills of Entry only as a consequence of an appellate order, not suo motu, and consequential refund is then to be processed by the Refund Section. Certain Bills of Entry, including post-out-of-charge amendments under sections 149 or 154 and cases with no revenue implication, are excluded from this restriction, subject to the stated procedural requirements.
