One of my client wants to purchase the land, building, plant & machinery from private limited company in Poanta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh who is availing the excise exemption on the manufacturing of goods under notification no 49-50/2003 dt 10.06.2003.
The query is whether excise exemption is available to my client or not if my client purchase the land building and plant & machinery and starts production.

2. The exemption contained in this notification shall apply only to the following kinds of units, namely:-
(a) new industrial units which have commenced their commercial production on or after the 7th day of January, 2003; (b) industrial units existing before the 7th day of January, 2003, but which have undertaken substantial expansion by way of increase in installed capacity by not less than twenty five per cent, on or after the 7th day of January, 2003.
