I seek clarification regarding the applicability of reversal of Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) in cases where an Export Oriented Unit (EOU) clears finished goods to the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).

The relevant statutory provisions and the CBIC's interpretation are as follows:
1. Statutory Background:
• Imports/Procurements by EOU are exempt from BCD under Notification No. 52/2003-Customs, dated 31.03.2003 (as amended).
• The AIDC exemption is granted under Notification No. 11/2021-Customs, dated 01.02.2021 (Sr. No. 19), which is conditional on the BCD exemption being "claimed and allowed" under Notification No. 52/2003.

2. CBIC Clarification (Circular No. 07/2021-Customs, dated 22.02.2021):
• The Circular's Deeming Provision (Para 1.2) clarifies that when an EOU clears finished goods into the DTA by paying the foregone BCD, "it is treated as if no exemption of BCD was allowed to the EOU under notification no. 52/2003-Cus dated 31.03.2003."

3. Accordingly, since the BCD exemption stands deemed to be withdrawn at the time of DTA clearance, the consequential exemption from AIDC on the inputs also stands withdrawn, implying that the EOU is required to reverse/pay AIDC..

My query is
Whether for DTA clearances of finished goods, the EOU is mandatorily required to reverse/pay both the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) that were foregone on the inputs utilized in the manufacture of such goods.

Sirs,
I paid TCS for Rs.10,233/ for foreign travel in 2024 and filed ITR-1 for refund ( AY25-26). The TCS payment has been reflected in my acknowledgemnt and 26AS and also in Form No.27D of the remitter as paid on15/10/2024. However, I received intimation u/s143(1) with no demand/refund giving details as" Form 26AS does not contain amount of TCS with respect to the TAN mentioned in schedule TDS1/TDS2/TCS". I noted in this report the date of deductiion is mentioned as 2023 instead of 2024.
I filed a rectifincation report for re-processing but again I received intimation u/s154 mentioning the same
report with error year of deduction as 2023 instead of 2024. Now I filed a grievance almost 2 weeksago but no action till date. Kindly advise me further course of action.
Thanks.

Hi,
Our query is there is an employee who is currently joining us. His previous employer was deducting compliances such as PF - ESIC, but now he has joined us but do not want to get deducted any compliance (PF-ESIC).

Can we do this, confirm what steps to follow.

If we give cash salary to the person above 30,000 for particular month and PF ESI is not deducted then we can prove the salary expense?
