We are a dealer registered with Excise Deptt. and are also registered with DGFT & have IEC.
One of our customer has placed order on us for equipments manufactured by our principals (manufacturer) under EPCG Scheme, wherein Customer will claim excise paid on equipment by our Principals.
Our query is :
1. Can we as a third party invoice the equipment supplied directly by manufacturer to customer - wherein the commercial invoice will be raised by us.
2. If yes, the EPCG License to be issued by customer will be in the name of manufacturer or in our name.
