Similarly, such supplies shall be eligible for claim of rebateunder Rule 18 of Central Excise Rules, 2002 subject to the fulfillment of conditions laid there under. The provisions relating to exports under Central Excise Act, 1944 and rules made thereunder may be applied, mutatis mutandis, in case of procurement by SEZ units & SEZ developer from DTA for their authorized operations.” The applicant has supplied capital goods without payment of duty as the unit has claimed exemption under Notification No. 49-50/2003-C.E.
