You have many options: 1. Refund under not. 17/18 of 2009 if eleigible. 2. Avail credit and go for refund under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules. 3. Avail credit and go for rebate under Rule 19/19 of the CER read with notifications in that regard.
Rebate on duty paid on exports is normally a better option but the goods shouldbe excisable manufactured goods.
