Duty Drawback on finished leather during 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 has been extended at the rate of 6.6%, 7.5% and 6.3% respectively when CENVAT facility is not availed and 1.6%, 1% & 1% respectively when CENVAT facility is availed. Since, the Drawback is a scheme to rebate input stage duties in relation to any goods manufactured in India and exported, no surplus accrues to the Government if any goods are exported under claim of this scheme.
This information was given by Shri Jairam Ramesh, Minister of State for Commerce, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
