Availing SSI exemption , Central Excise

[Surya Moorthy]

Sir/Madam,

   Hi, I am Surya.I need clear explanation for this issue.

A firm has done sales Rs.2.1crores upto Feb 2011' for FY 2010-11. At the same time it is eligible to avail SSI exemption as fully exempted goods(FY 2009-10 turnover is Rs.4crores). From march 2011'  their goods attracts duty. Now, whether if it will done sales upto Rs.12 lacs for march 2011' the firm is liable to pay duty @1% for March 2011' or rest of balance of eligible Turnover or no liable to pay duty for FY 2010-11

                                   Thank you!

Your question is not very clear. As per my understanding it seems that you want to say that the firm sells taxable as well as exempted goods and from March 2011 the exempted goods have now come into the taxable category @ 1%. If this is so then the limit would have to be calculated after taking into account the turnover of taxable goods upto February and the total turnover for March. If the same exceeds the exemption limit then duty would be payable for the balance amount of turnover in excess of the exemption limit. Also you would have to take the stock of inputs as on the date when the turnover crosses the SSI exemption limit and declare to the department so that CENVAT can be availed on the stock.

aggregate value of clearances of all excisable goods in preceding financial year should be less than Rs. 4 crore then exemption will be available.  Now, for the month of March 2011, the year 2009-10 is to be seen. If the aggregate value of clearances is less than Rs. 4 crore in year 2009-10 then exemption of 1.5 crore is available. For computing these 1.5 crore, only dutiable goods is to be seen. This limit of Rs. 1.5 crore will be available for March 2011 as the goods cleared prior to March 2011 were exempted and will not be considered in calculating the same. Thus, the exemption is available in March 2011 also.
Rs. 2.1 crore(sales upto feb) + Rs. 0.12(sales for the month of march) crore =Rs. 2.22 crore - Rs. 1.5 crore =Rs. 0.72 crore (taxable)
