27 November 2007 We have issued CT-1 to our supporting manufacturers.

The goods have been exported by the supporting manufacturer based on the value /Qty of CT-1 issued by us.

It has been observed that at times the quantity is short shipped / rate has been revised which has resulted in unutilised balance of CT-1.

For Instance in one of the CT-1 the Excise Duty was 200,000/- the goods have been exported for Rs. 180,000/- only.

There is unutilised Excise Duty balance against the CT-1 .for Rs. 20,000/-

We have submitted the Proof of Export with all relevant documents. Now the Superintendent (Exports) has asked to seek certificate from the Jurisdictional Superintendent of the supporting manufacturer.

We understand that before sending CT-1, the merchant exporter should debit estimated amount of duty liability. This amount is required to be specified in part II form CT-1. On the basis of this CT-1, the manufacturer can clear goods for export without payment of duty by making suitable entries in part II of CT-1. This provisional debit will be converted into ‘actual debit’ after the goods are cleared from the place of manufacturer. - Chapter 7 Part II Paras 6.2 and 6.2-1 of CBE&C’s CE Manual, 2001.
And thus, initial debit is only a provisional debit. Final debit will be after goods are actually exported. There is no provision to get certificate from other Suptd. and re-credit can be taken in the bond based on certificate from actual manufacturer should be sufficient.

We tried to explain this to them, however they have advised to pay the unutilised amount through GAR7, otherwise they will not re-credit our running bond account for the entire CT-1 amount.

In view of the above please advise the course of action to enable us to clear the pending CT- 1 credits.
