Notification No. 94/04, dated 10-9-2004, which is applicable to the applicant, is not specified under the said clause. Therefore at any rate the rebate claim of the applicant should not have been rejected. 4.6 That DEEC and rebate operate in different areas. While DEEC is a benefit conferred under the law in respect of import of raw materials, the rebate claimed is of duty paid on the export goods.

Therefore corrigendum issued in order to modify Notification No. 93/04-Cus., dated 10-7-2004 should be read into Notification No. 94/04-Cus., dated 10-2-2004 as well. 5. Personal hearing was scheduled in these cases on 27-7-2011 & 25-8-2011. Shri L. Badri Narayanan, Advocate and Shri M.S.

Siddhartha Tubes, the dispute were related to quantification of rebate claim in terms of FOB value/CIF + value. Circular dated 3-2-2000 cited by the applicant is irrelevant as here this is not the case of re-determining of the rebate incorrectly reduced in certain cases.
