18 June 2009 This activity would fall under Business Auxiliary service- production/ processing for or on behalf of the client but excluded as activities of manufacture are not covered and converting cloth into bag is certainly a manufacturing activity. The possible implications on central excise if the value ( including materials) were to exceed Rs. 150 lakhs maybe examined.
