Whether an order has been served rejecting your refund claim, or it is only a letter of communication.
If only a letter of communication, you can write to the commissioner of your jurisdiction stating that it is not time barred refund as the same was submitted in time, which is evident from the first submission.
Mere resubmission does not amount to rejection of refund.
If order has been served, then you need to go into appeal. It is advisable to seek support from learned consultant as this is a matter of refund and requires through evaluation of the facts and perusal when the appeal is posted for hearing
If you wish to respond You can place your reliance on the following judgement which state that a procedural delay should be condoned by giving importance to granting of rebate on export of excisable goods.
