There are two aspects to the above query, viz:

1. The Merchant Exporter may claim it from the Customs Department and in turn pass the same to you.
2. You may directly claim the drawback from the Customs Department on the basis of NOC issued by the Merchant Exporter provided your name reflects in the S/B.
