the point is if the lic has been alredy utilised, then you have to pay duty along with @18% interest from the date of Bill of Entry.  In case of you have not utilised that lic you may surronder to DGFT in order to close the file.

 

in cenvat portion also you have to reverse along with @18% interest when the lic has been utilised by you

How the DEPB has been used? Weather it was sold or used by orignal owener.

In any case the interest calculation will be from the date of utilization till the date of nreversal.

Presently the interest rate is 15% and not 18% but that also depends on the date of issue of DEPB.
