Dear Agarwal Ji, Yes, Mr. B and Mr. c are required to get their registration as per excise rules. Value based S.S.I. Exemption under notification no. 8/2003-CE dtd. 01.03.03 is not permissible in the case of manufacturing under other name & brand. Therefore, excise duty is applicable from 1st day of the year. Amount against royalty paid to "A" by "B" & "C" is related to servise tax under the category of "Intellectual property service", therefore, "A" is required to get registration in service tax who will charge service tax from "B" & "C" on their bill and pay to department. Thanks. RAJEEV KR. GARG (Consultant, Custom, Excise & Service Tax) If you are satisfy with reply, pl. click on "Thank user". Thanks.
