Dear Mr. Rajesh,
I have seen a lot of guidance under this forum about this Excise related exemption and I am thankful on the whole for your assistance first.
I work in a company in Chennai, where we import machineries & spares from our group companies worldwide and market/sell (trading only) the items in India. We are now availing & passing on the CENVAT credit of the customs duty incidence paid by us to our customers on our sales.
On our customer's request we have to support with an item, which is customised / assembled by us with many local & import items as inputs for the same. Then the assembled item is sold as a whole product under Non-excisable category without any Excise duty to our customers. In this case, we are loosing on the CENVAT items on the Inputs. Is there any possibility in our case for us to Charge Excise duty @ 8.24% (as applicable now) to our customers on this assembled item?? We only have a registration with CE as Trader. We do not have any SSI licence also. This assembled item sale per year may not exceed Rs.1.5 crore. Plz. let me know what can be done on this.
1) Do i have to take a SSI Licence for this assembly activity???
2) Do i need to register myself with Central Excise as Manufacturer?
3) What is the documentation for this? We are now mainting RG23D register for our CENVAT credit.
I shall be highly grateful for your guidance.
regards
