16 May 2014 A proprietorship enterprise carrying on Construction business, through a contract manufactures solid cement blocks for the purpose of construction and does not sell out those manufactured solid blocks. The raw material for manufacturing the block is provided by the proprietorship itself but the machinery used for such manufacture is owned by the contractor.
Please clarify whether excise duty is applicable for the proprietorship enterprise for such manufacture and is there any service tax liability for the same in the given case
