16 October 2015 If you have claimed CENVAT credit when you had purchased the machinery then you have to charge excise duty now also.

The rate of excise duty will be reduced by 2.5% for every quarter from the date of purchase of the asset.

16 October 2015 No need to charge excise duty on sale of machinery, as you got registration on 1/4/11. as the time of registration, you do claim cenvat on machinery, so you do not need to pay excise duty at the of sale of machinery.
