A plethora of Notifications have been issued to the exporters who were exporting the goods to Nepal, and there was a paradigm shift from the Erstwhile DRP scheme to normal export scheme on all exports to Nepal. In other words, the exports to Nepal were made at par with all other countries against convertible currency. The following notifications were issued to make it happen. audemars piguet replica watches

All the benefits of rebate of duties paid were extended to the exporters were made available to the exporters to Nepal. The efforts were made to alienate Nepal from Bhutan, and more specifically the ‘Nepal and Bhutan’ were replaced with only ‘Bhutan’.
But, CBEC came out with a Notification No. 39/2012-ST dated 20-6-2012, wherein the rebate of central excise duties paid on inputs and service tax paid on the input services, is being granted to the exporters of services, except ‘Nepal and Bhutan’.
The erstwhile ‘export of Service’, in the new language means, provision of service from taxable territory to a non-taxable territory, under the provisions of place of supply rules, 2012 notified vide Notification 28/2012-ST dated 20-6-2012.
In the new Notification No. 39/2012-ST dated 20-6-2012 even though the export rebate of inupt excise duty and input service tax is being granted, unless the mention of place of provision of service rules are mentioned, how can the rebate of such input excise duty and service tax can be claimed.
Also, when the ‘jodi’ of Nepal and Bhutan has been broken for the sake of central excise duty rebate, then why is it that for rebate of such input stage duties and service tax is being denied to the ‘exporter of services’ to Nepal.
Is it a copy-paste mistake, committed un-intentionally, or is it an error on the run to raisina hill . . .
However, we would naturally expect some amendment / clarification on the same, as we always do.
