30 March 2010Dear All,
A is a trader in certain prducts and is covered under sales tax/ VAT. No excise involvement.
Now he is getting order from a Automobile Comapany to manufacure seat covers of a vehicle on which the brand name should be affixed.
He Does not want to be covered under Excise.
Can he apply for SSI?
Can he claim himself as a job worker.
Keeping in mind that he will be doing a complete manufacturing process for seat covers.
Kindly reply asap.

When you are doing a manufacturing for a brand name, even if you are an SSI unit you cannot avail the SSI exemption.
In the present case you need to take the excise registration.
