Data provided should be pertaining to exports during the period from January 2019 to June 2019 and should be related to exports, domestic purchase of inputs and imported inputs.
The incidence of duty should be restricted to Customs duty on the inputs and Central Excise duty on petroleum products as specified in Schedule– IV of the Central Excise Act, 1944.
The incidence of other taxes/duties such as GST, States/UT taxes, etc. should not be included for calculation of total incidence of duties for the purpose of duty drawback scheme.
The data provided should be of manufacturers / manufacturer exporters and it should be certified by the manufacturer and its Chartered Accountant / Cost Accountant.

The data must be supported by copies of Shipping bills, Bills of Entry of imported inputs and relevant Central Excise Invoices etc.
The data provided should pertain to only those manufacturers/units that are ready to have their records and production processes inspected by Customs/Central Excise Department if required for the purpose of verifying the correctness of information.

Also, you may send us information on any anomaly which has been noticed in the Drawback schedule with reference to the description of the products or the rates which needs to be rectified. In addition to the above, your views/suggestions for rationalisation of entries in the AIR Drawback Schedule, including for those tariff items where specific data has not been provided earlier, may also be sent along with justification.
