Sir,

You have said that the machinery is duty free. Therefore I presume that no credit of duty on that machinery had been availed by you. In such a case you can freely transfer the machinery under your own challan to the other unit in the same organisation. You are not required to take any permission from the Department.

Sir,

I think he has imported machinery duty free under some scheme. Cenvat is not the issue. Organisation is same but unit is different and has separate registration in Central Excise and also in Income Tax. Legal entity of his another unit is separate. The issue is to be examined from that angle. This is my opinion.

In my view the machinery can be transferred to another unit.

Sir,

The questioner is asking for authority.

Machinery has to be transferred on Payment of an amount equivalent to the CENVAT Credit availed after providing for depreciation as provided in Rule 3(5A) of CCR. Further if the amount arrived after depreciation is less than the amount equal to duty payable on transactional value, then the amount so paid shall be equivalent to Transactional Value.

If the machinery has been procured duty free against any Import Scheme, then the machinery has to be transferred after completion of Export Obligations and the amount of duty has to be arrived at following the above stated principles.....

Dear Mr. Singh,

Your query is not clear as already stated by Shri. Kasturi Sethi Ji. You have mentioned that the equipment is duty free. In this situation, is it imported under

Zero duty EPCG Scheme or Under R&D exemption or underList 22 . You may to confirm

However, Transfer of Duty free materials/equipment is government by the scheme in which it was imported/procured and on the Notification issued thereunder. Further, if the equipment is imported under EPCG and the other unit also covered under the said authorization, you can transfer under an intimation to DGFT and jurisdictional excise Range with in the acknowledgement from DGFT. If the second unit is not covered in the authorization, you may have to include the said unit in the authorization before such transfer.

If the equipment is procured under R&D exemption or under list 22, you cannot transfer the equipment for a period of 5 years as per the condition of the notification.

Hope it is clear

Best Regards
