1.If a SSI unit produces goods in the brand name of other SSI unit weather excise is payable by him.
2.If SSI manufacturer produces goods in the brand name of a person who is not a manufacturer but a trader (who does repacking,branding,and issue price list)
3.Does that trader will be treated as manufacturer and will he need reg. under excise
If you manufacture goods with other's brand name the turnover related to the same shall be considered as your turnover only.
A trader need not register himself under excise act as long as his outsourced manufacturing units are paying duty rightly as per the excise act 1944 (assumed that the trader never carries out any manufacturing activity.)
