CBE&C has issued a Circular bearing number 961/04/2012-CX dated 26th March 2012, wherein in the 3rd para, it has been clarified that export to Nepal will continue to be permissible even when the export proceeds are paid in Indian Rupees as long as payment proceeds are in accordance with applicable RBI guidelines. Thus, considering the above referred Circular, excise duty benefit will be available to the manufacturer-exporter even if goods are exported against INR. Wait for issue of similar circular under GST.
