eligibility of a manufacturer for DBK

[MEHUL ASHAR]

Respected Sir,

One of my clients is an exciseable manufacturer & is an exporter too, then the query is that if he purchases goods from an non-exciseable manufacturer & make finish goods out of it & exports then at what rate of DBK he receives.Please reply.

AI Summary

Duty drawback rates depend on whether CENVAT is availed, determining exporter entitlement and AIR or brand options.
Duty Drawback eligibility for an excisable exporter using inputs from a non excisable supplier depends on whether the exporter avails CENVAT credit on inputs and input services; distinct DBK rates apply for CENVAT availed and non availed cases. If both rates coincide, the rate is treated as the customs DBK rate and the exporter may claim CENVAT. Exporters may claim the published All Industry Rate (AIR) or apply for a Brand Rate. Accounting entries include debiting CENVAT Account on availment, debiting CENVAT Payable on utilisation, and reversing to purchase/raw material when CENVAT is reversed.
