Notification 17/2007 CE dated 1-3-2007 deals with the compounded levy of stainless steel pattis/pattas, falling under Chapter 72, or aluminium circles falling under Chapter 76. You can avail the benefit of this notification at any time during the year but for full month. Since under this scheme he is not supposed to keep the records of items manufactured or sold, assessable value etc., he is not required to file any ER-1 return. Instead, he will be required to file monthly statement as per annexure to the notification.
