Dear raj kumar,

as per Notification No. 48/2011-ST sub rule 4 after subrule 3 thereof has been inserted, it is as below.

 in rule 7, after sub-rule (3), the following sub-rule shall be inserted, namely:-

“(4) The Central Board of Excise and Customs may, by an order extend the period referred to in sub – rule (2) by such period as deemed necessary under circumstances of special nature to be specified in such order”.

  So it is no correct to say that the said rule is non existing.
