(N.T.) which prescribes conditions subject to which rebate is to be granted in terms of Rule 18 of Central Excise Rules, 2002 and there is no dispute that the exports under rebate claim had been made in terms of the procedure prescribed in this notification. On going through this notification, we find that there is no absolutely no condition providing that grant of rebate is subject to realization of the export proceeds.
