How can EXCISE BENEFIT be claimed in case of excise registered supplier raise Invoice from outside non-SEZ area to a Unit in SEZ area. [As per my understanding : the supplier in such a case can’t avoid the Excise Duty charging in the Invoice as he is registered in Excise & SEZ Unit can’t claim the CENVAT. Ultimately , the cost will increase by 10.32% in Input material as supplier shall intend to claim the rebate for what he has paid while pruchasing the raw material from his supplier].

Supply to SEZ is physical export, hence no need tp send material on payment of duty. Material can be sent on ARE-1, under bond. Alternatively, duty can be paid on ARE-1 and the duty paid can be claimed as rebate. Further alternatively, refund can also be taken under Rule 5 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, as suggested by Sachin.

Further, for supply to SEZ all other export benefits like advance authorisation, DEPB, Drawback, EPCG etc. is available.

-ARE-1 is for manufacturer part , not to be used by traders.

-in such case the trader has to send the ARE1of SEZ to manufacturer and obtain goods under ARE1 and bond from principal, and deliver the same to SEZ, here the bond/CT-1/ARE1 all will carry the name of manufacturer only..
