29 June 2011 SEZ Units are entitled for Duty Free Procurement, Hence they are not suppose to pay Excise Duty ( Exempted against Form ARE 1 by supplier).

As their is no excise on inputs there is no question of refund.

In case SEZ unit already paid Excise Duty they can get theoratically , However it is not easy practically. So better not to pay.

All exports including exports from SEZ are free from Excise Duty on outputs.
