From the above definition of relevant date , it can be seen that sub clause (a) of Clause (B) of definition of relevant date clearly covers the refund of duty paid in respect of the excisable material used in the manufacture of export goods. In the present case, the refund under Rule 5 is also in respect of the duty paid on the material used in the manufacture of export goods. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no mention about the relevant date in respect of refund of the nature in the present case. The identical issue has been considered under various judgements. In the case of Suretax Prophyplastics vs CCE (supra) the Hon ble High Court has given the following observation: 10 . A plain reading of the above Rule would indicate that where any input for input service is used in the manufacture of final product which is cleared for export under Bond or letter of undertaking, the Cenvat credit in respect of the same, so used shall be allowed to be utilized by the manufacturer or provider of output service so used and shall allowed to be utilized by the manufacturer or provider of output service and if for any reason, such adjustment is not possib .....
