As a Mumbai-based exporter sourcing pharmaceutical raw materials from a Vapi manufacturer, we’re facing a roadblock. We’re ready to pay the excise duty at the time of payment, but the manufacturer insists on receiving a CT1 form. The excise department in their area says CT1 is mandatory, even if we handle the duty. Is there any official notification that allows exports while paying excise duty without submitting a CT1? Any advice on resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best Answer
The excise department’s insistence on CT1 for exports, even with duty payment, is incorrect. While CT1 is usually required for domestic movement of goods, it’s not mandatory for exports. Contact the excise department with relevant circulars on export procedures and payment of duty to resolve the issue.
