Dear sirs,
One of our client, an SSI unit , manufacturing detergent items, washing soap, phinoil etc. are approched me with regard to the applicability of central excise to them. During the year 2010-11 they had 1.6 crores turnover. But they were not aware about the Central excise that time. Now they approched me with regard to what to do in this case. my doubts:
1. Whether they are liable to take registration if they are producing exempted goods. Whether detergent items are exempted goods
2. What are the legal consequences and penalties if any they have to face with regard to not taking registration and non payment of duties duing the year 2010-11
3. What are the procedure for registration and filing of returns under central Excise
4. they are doing some job work with regard to repacking of goods of some other company of exempted goods. Wether it also covered under turnover under central excise .
please guide me in this case
