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.

Rings & Bearings Races Ltd. and 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.
