as per guidance note on excise duty issued by ICAI excise duty should be provided once the goods are manufactured and should be included in the value of finished goods
the reason behind this is duty arises on manufacture but the payment is postoned til it is removed. the taxable event is manufacture and not removal
the entry would be stock a/c dr to excise duty payable
