Dear Experts, We have removed export of excisable goods under claim for rebate of duty. We have received original copy of are-1 from Custom authortiy but they denied to give duplicate copy of are-1 and said that we will send directly to excise department. Now the excise department has denied to received any type of are-1. The Department has denied the claim for that are-1. Now, please advice what can i do for receiving the claim. Thanks

Exporter Dispute: Excise Department Denies Rebate Due to Missing ARE-1 Form; Experts Suggest Resolution Steps An exporter faced an issue with the Central Excise Department denying a rebate claim due to the non-receipt of a duplicate ARE-1 form, which customs claimed they sent directly to the excise department. Experts advised submitting the original ARE-1 with supporting documents and writing to customs about the missing duplicate. It was suggested that the jurisdictional commissioner should address the issue with customs, as the rebate is a substantial right. If necessary, a FIR might be lodged by customs, not the exporter, to trace the missing document.
