26 July 2013 company A, in India, is importing one raw material and sells it to a Company B in India within the same state. Company B adds some more raw materials and makes a final product and sells the same to Company A. Then Company A inspects the final product (falling under Chapter 39) packs, labels and sells to its customers in India.
Whether the activity done by Company A amounts to manufacture ? Can it avail Cenvat credit while buying from Company B? Are there any issues ? Please respond - urgent.
