2012 (6) TMI 334 - AAR - Central Excise'Manufacture' - Whether process proposed to be employed by the Applicant for refining and minting of products of precious metals namely gold, silver and platinum as per the specifications of customers amounts to manufacture or job work - Held that:- It is clear that the processes undertaken by the applicant result in the emergence of goods which have their own distinct character, identity and use. The activities of the applicant, therefore, clearly meet the definition of manufacture. However premise of applicant that if an activity is undertaken on job work basis, it would be precluded from being considered as manufacturing appears to us to be unfounded. It is not as though the two are mutually exclusive. If in a given transaction, the raw material is supplied by the customer and the applicant charges only its making charges, it could well be a case of manufacture on job work basis. Hence, process amounts to manufacture for the purpose of Central Excise Act, 1944 and goods in question would be liable to duties of excise at the appropriate rate(s) as specified in the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985.
