In above scenario transaction is divided in two independent parts:-

1. Procurement of tools by customer

2. Supply of Tools on FOC Basis for further manufacture.

As in first transsaction ED is paid by X and credit is availed by Y

In second Transaction Y has provided FOC tools to X for further manufacture of components, hence notional value of such tools needs to be added to Assessable Value for calculating Excise Duty as per Rule 6 of Central Excise Valuation Rules 2000.

If you have given mold as well as raw-material for processing to the job-worker and the components processed and supplied are used in further manufacturing of the product on which excise duty is paid then there is no question of amortisation.

However, if you supplied mold and the supplier is going to use his own raw material and supplying you components, then, he needs to add die amortisation cost per piece depending on the life of the mold.
