Sir,

As per your query, my point of view is, the Notification No. 40/2017-CT (Rate) dated 23.10.2017, is not applicable to Supplies made by SEZ Unit or Developer. As the exemption is extended for "Intra-State" Supply, where as supply made to or by SEZ is Inter-state supply as per Section 7(5)(b) of IGST Act.

Further, When supplies are made by SEZ unit to DTA, it is govern by SEZ Act, and said supply will be import for DTA Unit.

Therefore, SEZ Unit shall supply the said goods to DTA Unit as per SEZ Act and DTA unit may export the said goods and can claim the refund of IGST Paid.

Thanks,

Sir,

In continuation of reply above, the Notification No.41/2017-IT (Rates) dated 23.10.2017, whereby exemption is provided for "Inter-State" supply of goods, here, the DTA unit will file Bill of Entry and can quote for Notification No. for applicable IGST.

Thanks
