Excise shall verify the correctness of the ratio of input and output mentioned in the declaration filed before commencement of export of such goods, if necessary, by calling for samples of finished goods or by inspecting such goods in the factory of manufacture or process. If after such verification, the Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise or the Deputy Commissioner of Central Excise is satisfied that there is no likelihood of evasion of duty, he may grant permission to the applicant for manufacture or processing and export of finished goods. The condition is of such a nature that the declaration has to be filed and verification of the input output ratio is to be carried out prior to export of goods because once the goods are exported no such verification could be possible to ascertain the correctness. 10.3.Government, therefore, holds that non fulfilling the statutory conditions laid down under the impugned Notification and not following the basic procedure of export as discussed above, cannot be treated as just a minor or technical procedural lapse for the purpose of availing the benefit of rebate on the impugned goods.
