As told by Shri Alkesh give full details otherwise the advice will be not correct.

We had imported certain input raw material under advance authorization before introduction of GST. We are unable to export our goods. So we have paid the duty that we have saved as per old duty structure i.e. BCD, CVD, SAD, Cess. In that case can we get credit or refund of CVD, SAD and if we get refund then where we have file the refund ?

[Alkesh Jani]

Sir,

You can apply for refund of CVD and SAD before Central Excise Authority (Division Office), however, it should be within one year from the date of payment of duty. This was the only reason to request you to furnish the full details.

Thanks

With regards

It is seems that advance obligation has been not full filled by you, that means during the time of Import with out payment of duty. what ever payment made by you for regularization transaction. so there is no question of refund. it is your cost.

Agree with Sh Alkesh.

All respected sir,

refund is allowed if goods are exported. In this case capital goods are imported as duty free and subsequently paid the duty after regularization of License. But no export is made, then how the refund is allowed?

[SHARAN RAYAPROL]

i have seen the comments form the Ld members. I have seen the transitional provisions, as well as the new refund provisions. there is no provision for availing such credit in TRAN1 (assuming credit to be taken before 30-6-2020 as per delhi high court), and also there is no provision for filing refund claim under GST. so, you have to book it as a cost only. you can also capitalise the same, including CVD+SAD, and put it in your capital account.

Shri

Please also go through Section 173 and Section 174 of CGST Act,2017. Please also refer Section 142(3) which mentions of "before, on or after" and specifically mentions of Section 11(B)(2) of Central Excise Act,1944.

Thanks

The identical refund is rejected in the case cited in 2020 (2) TMI 353 - CESTAT CHENNAI - M/S. SERVO PACKAGING LIMITED VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF G.S.T. AND CENTRAL EXCISE, PUDUCHERRY.

[Alkesh Jani]

Shri,

In each case the fact and circumstances are different, In my case, one refund of ₹ 8.5 lakhs (of re-import) was sanctioned by the Commissioner (appeals), Ahmedabad and Also refund was allowed by Commissioner (A) Pune in another case.

Moreover, one case, for refund of ₹ 2.4 lakhs was rejected by Commr(A), Ahmedabad and appeal to CESTAT is pending.

Please feel free to contact me for the copies.

Exploring Refunds for Customs Duties When Export Obligations Aren't Met: Key Provisions and Jurisdiction Insights A discussion on a forum addresses the issue of obtaining credit or refunds for Customs Duty (BCD), Countervailing Duty (CVD), and Special Additional Duty (SAD) paid for regularizing an advance license when export obligations are unmet. The main query is about the jurisdiction and provisions under which refunds can be claimed. Responses suggest applying for refunds under Section 142(3) of the CGST Act, 2017, and Section 11B(2) of the Central Excise Act, 1944, but emphasize that refunds may not be possible if export obligations are not fulfilled. Some contributors mention relevant case laws and suggest that the payments could be treated as costs if refunds are not feasible.
