The Central Board of Excise and Customs in its circular dated December 19, 2002 clarified that the refund is not on account of excess payment of excise duty but is basically designed to give effect to the exemption and to operationalise the exemption given by the notifications. In that sense, the Central excise duty refund does not appear to bear the character of income since what is refunded to the I TA No. 1020 (Del) of 2011.
