A manufacturing company (A) located in Kolkata was contacted for supply of material . The company redirected our request to their dealer at Dhanbad (B) in Jharkhand. & the order for supply of material was placed with the said dealer.
Now the dealer (B) is asking 10.3% Excise duty on orderd value besides Jharkhand state VAT. The invoiced is raised by the dealer not by the manufacturer.
Kindly help me in finalising their bill. whether the excise duty being asked by the dealer is correct. The consignee for the manufacturer (A) is the dealer & not us where as we are the consigneee for the dealer.
Whether the claim of excise duty by the dealer is justified? Please help in redressal of dispute.
