Proof of export: merchant exporter must furnish acknowledged export documentation to central excise within the prescribed period.
The merchant exporter, having executed a bond, is liable to submit proof of export to Central Excise within a prescribed period measured from the ARE-1 acknowledgement; the acknowledged export documentation is provided to the manufacturer exporter, who then files it with the concerned Central Excise department. A contrasting view notes a general one-year window for submitting export proof to Central Excise and Customs. (AI Summary)
