Misplaced Duplicate copy of ARE-1 (Buff Copy)

[RAM SHARMA]

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

AI Summary

Rebate claim entitlement: exporters must secure duplicate ARE-1 from customs and present originals plus supporting documents to excise.
Submit the original A.R.E.-1 with invoice, packing list, shipping bill/B/L and BRC to the rebate authority and send a formal letter to Customs stating the buff copy was not received. The Assistant/Deputy Commissioner of Excise must write to port Customs to obtain or reissue the duplicate A.R.E.-1 because Customs is responsible for transmission. If necessary, an FIR or formal complaint may be lodged to create an official trail, noting that Customs ordinarily bears the duty to trace dispatched duplicates.
