CESTAT held that the respondent's rebate claim based on CIF value was permissible under Central Excise law. The tribunal determined the respondent is eligible for full duty refund on CIF value, rejecting revenue's contention. The extended period of limitation was deemed inappropriate since the department was previously aware of the valuation issue.
