The CBEC has clarified that, under no condition, goods produced in the 100 per cent EOU can be charged under the main section 3(1) of the Central Excise Act. All goods manufactured by EOUs and cleared into DTA before final debonding of EOU shall be chargeable to duty under proviso to section 3(1) of the Central Excise Act.
The proviso to the section 3(1) lays down guidelines for payment of levying and collection of duty on goods which are produced in free trade zone, special economic zone or 100 per cent EOU. The excise duty in such case will be charged at amount equal to aggregate of the duties of customs which would be leviable under the Customs Act 1962.
