Dear Members,

As members are aware, the All Industry Rates of Duty Drawback for various products including leather and leather products are reviewed every year after the announcement of Union Budget, taking into account the budgetary changes in Customs & Central Excise duties and service tax.

The Council has now received a communication from the Directorate of Drawback, Department of Revenue, Government of India, asking for the data for revision of DBK rates for 2014-15 in the prescribed format. Hence, members are requested to send the cost data for the DBK review exercise as per following formats.
1) The data is to be submitted in four different proforma as per the format enclosed herewith, along with a Covering Proforma. The data may be provided for the period April 2013 – March 2014.

Further, such units should submit a copy of the cost data to their Assistant Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner of Central Excise under whose geographical jurisdiction their units fall.

The Council is required to send the necessary data to the Department of Revenue immediately. The basic industry data as required by the Department of Revenue in the prescribed format is very crucial to prepare comprehensive proposals and explaining to the Drawback Committee members for the purpose of fixing realistic DBK rates for different product categories. Therefore, member-exporters are requested to give priority to this important matter and send the necessary data to the Council on or before June 6, 2014, since the exercise of review of All Industry Rates for DBK is very crucial to get the DBK rates fixed at realistic levels.
