In that case, if we procure material from our manufacturer without payment of excise duty, manufacturer must have to prepare invoice as: Buyer - Trader (we) Consignee - SEZ unit (our customer), kindly correct if i m wrong.
Also, to avail benefit of excise, consignee (SEZ) should give SEZ certificate to manufacturer and against which manufacturer will submit ARE-1 to SEZ, kindly correct if i m wrong.
