[Mahir S]

Duty drawback is not admissible to Advance Licence holder.

However you are entitled to claim brand rate of duty drawback in respect of inputs which are not imported against the advance licence and on which duty has been paid.

AI Summary

Duty drawback eligibility limited where inputs imported under FTA exemption; brand-rate allowed only for duty-paid non-FTA inputs. Duty drawback is not available to an Advance Licence holder for inputs imported under duty-free schemes or FTA exemptions where no customs duty was paid; however, exporters may claim the brand rate of duty drawback only for inputs that were not imported against the advance licence (or duty-free route) and on which customs duty was actually paid, notwithstanding availing of CENVAT.
