AI Summary

Rebate claim period: file within one year; exports under rebate cannot be taken as CENVAT credit.
Rebate claims for exported goods must be filed within a strict one year period from the date of export; failure to apply within that time frame renders the rebate claim time barred. Exports for which a rebate is claimed are not eligible to be claimed as CENVAT credit by the exporter.
