Refund of excess export duty following reassessment of steel-slab shipping bills remains subject to statutory refund limitation; an alleged mistake of law cannot invoke general limitation law or Article 265 to bypass it.

A prior refund application read with a pending correction request was therefore within time. Interest on delayed refund runs from the day after three months from reassessment, rather than from the earlier application, because the claim could not be both premature before ascertainment and overdue for interest purposes.
