2016 (7) TMI 982 - CGOVT - Central ExciseRebate claim - export of less quantity of goods - natural loss of goods in transit - The applicant claimed that the difference in quantity cleared from the factory and that exported was due to loss of goods occurred on account of moisture content and transportation handling losses subsequent to clearance from factory. - Held that:- In this regard, Government notes that the applicant could not cite any applicable provisions, where such loss subsequent to clearance from the factory for the impugned goods is allowed under the relevant provisions of the Central Act and Rules thereof. In absence of any such provision for loss of goods on account of moisture loss and fixing of any percentage loss for the purpose, Government finds no ground to interfere with the order to hold as inadmissible the rebate of duty paid over and above actual quantity exported. Further, Government notes that the applicant has failed to declare the moisture content in the goods at the point of taxation viz. the clearance from the factory of export. Hence the lower authorities have rightly observed that any such exercise to determine moisture loss or to argue that the difference in quantity is due to moisture loss is futile. In any case it is a fact on record that the goods have been short shipped for whatever reason and as per provision of law rebate of duty cannot be allowed on the quantity of goods which have not been exported. - Decided against the appliance.
