Unit B will also supply some other consumables to job worker or Job worker use his own consumables. Job worker will send finished goods PQR to unit B and finally clear it on payment of duty.

Please let me know under which procedure it will fit best i.e. Rule 4 5 (a) of CCR 2004 , Rule 16 B of Central Excise Rule 2002 or Notification 214 \ 86 CE . Please share your views - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = Sir, the definition of manufacturing as per Central Excise has to be analysed. If distinct product comes into existence after the process then it is new product otherwise not. Further B has carried out some activity and the resultant is new product classifiable under New chapter heading. This could be final product to outside customer , but it is not final product as .....

..... far as A is concerned. He sent some material to B who does some process and sent it to Job worker for further processing and final product is what Job worker has sent to B. Thus in my view the material sent by A to B and V to Job worker are intermediate product. And Excise duty is payable on Final product only. This is my view.Thanks. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = Sir, I also welcome views of my collegue experts on this query. Thanks. - Reply By SURESH ASTEKAR - The Reply = Dear Shri.Yatin Bhopi, 1. As rightly stated by you in point No.1, when XYZ product is cleared by Unit A to Unit B, it has to be cleared on payment of duty since from what you say, it appears that Unit A has manufactured the product XYZ out of inputs p .....

..... rocured by it which may be something other than XYZ. Here either Rule 4(5)(a) of CCR or job work notification 214/86-CE is not applicable. Rule 16B of Central Excise Rules is only a special provision for semi-finished goods and hence this Rule also will not be applicable. However, you have to note that the duty has to be paid on product XYZ on the value equal to 110% of the cost of production or manufacture of XYZ, in terms of Rule 8 of Central Excise Valuation Rules, 2000 . The duty so paid by Unit A will be available to Unit B as credit. 2. You have further stated that Unit B also undertakes manufacturing activity viz., that it manufactures a new product ABC falling under Chapter 39 from the input product XYZ. Since a ne .....

..... w product has emerged from an input, it becomes liable to duty and cannot be cleared without payment of duty under Rule 4(5)(a) of CCR . Of course, if the product ABC is captively consumed within the factory of Unit B itself for manufacture of PQR, you may claim benefit of Notification No.67/1995-CE , provided PQR is liable to duty or is covered by the exclusions provided in the said notification. 3. Notification No.214/86-CE may not be available for clearance of fully manufactured goods since the said Notification mandates that the supplier of the raw materials or semi-finished goods has to give an undertaking. Further, since Unit B has fully manufactured product ABC, it cannot be removed from the factory of manufacture withou .....

..... t payment of duty, unless it is captively consumed within the factory of manufacture. 4. When product ABC is removed from Unit B, the duty has to be paid again under Rule 8 of Valuation Rules as in the case of clearance from Unit A, since the job worker will be manufacturing the goods PQR on behalf of Unit B i.e., the input supplier. The duty paid by Unit B on 110% of the cost of production will be available as credit to the job worker. If the job worker procures further inputs for manufacture of PQR, he can take the credit of the duty paid thereon. If Unit B supplies some other consumables, the same may be supplied to the job worker under duty-paying documents so that the job worker can take credit of the duty paid thereon. 4. Wh .....

Product ABC is not going to use further costively in unit B. This product is manufacture only for producing PQR from Job worker since manufacturing facility of PQR is not available in unit B. Please let me know under which procedure we have option to pay duty on ABC @110% by unit B and job worker under rule 10A . Is there any other procedure other than mentioned by me? - Reply By SURESH ASTEKAR - The Reply = Dear Shri.Yatin Bhopi, Since product ABC is manufactured by Unit B [out of product XYZ manufactured by Unit A], duty needs to be paid while cl .....

..... earing product ABC. Since ABC is used for manufacture of PQR on behalf of Unit B by the job worker and it is not sold by Unit B to the job worker, Rule 8 of Valuation Rules, which is reproduced below, gets attracted: 8. Where whole or part of the excisable goods are not sold by the assessee but are used for consumption by him or on his behalf in the production or manufacture of other articles, the value of such goods that are consumed shall be one hundred and ten per cent of the cost of production or manufacture of such goods. Therefore, Unit B needs to clear the goods to job worker on payment of duty at 110% of the cost of production. Further, the valuation in the case of job worked goods has to be done in terms of Rule 10A .....

..... : Provided that the cost of transportation, if any, from the premises, wherefrom the goods are sold, to the place of delivery shall not be included in the value of excisable goods. Explanation.- For the purposes of this rule, job-worker means a person engaged in the manufacture or production of goods on behalf of a principal manufacturer, from any inputs or goods supplied by the said principal manufacturer or by any other person authorised by him. As per my understanding the method suggested by me is very simple, uncomplicated, and feasible, and litigation free. - Reply By surya narayana - The Reply = Dear Friends, In my view, the right procedure is Rule 4(5) (a) of CCR,2004 presuming that the Product XYZ received from .....

Unit A on payment of duty is an input to unit B and avails cenvat and Unit B manufacture ABC by using such XYz and the same along with other inputs ,unit B would be sending for job work and after conversion the Job worker send back the converted product PQR which ultimately sell from Unit B. Best Regards Suryanarayana - Reply By SURESH ASTEKAR - The Reply = With due respect to the views of Shri.Suryanarayana, I would like to invite attention to the provisions of Rule 4(5)(a) under which only inputs as such or after being partially processed are sent to a job worker. The crucial point to be considered here is that Unit B which receives product XYZ as inputs which fall under Chapter 29 and converts them into product ABC fall .....

..... ing under Chapter 39 . Thus, there is a complete transformation of the inputs received from Unit A by Unit B. Therefore, provisions of Rule 4(5)(a) will not be applicable. Another fundamental point to be considered here is that incidence of duty of Central Excise is on the act of manufacture and the moment any goods come into existence as a result of manufacture , duty becomes payable, although its payment / collection is deferred to the point of its removal. It may be noted that even if any excisable goods emerge within the factory of manufacture and are captively consumed for manufacture of other products, duty becomes payable on the goods that emerge as excisable goods at one stage of manufacture. Of course, in order to avoid payme .....

..... nt of duty and taking of the credit for the goods captively consumed, the Government has issued Notification No.67/95-CE . Further, this exemption is applicable only if the goods manufactured from excisable goods that emerge at the initial stage, are liable to Central Excise duty and are not exempted goods. Of course, there are certain exceptions to this as provided in Notification No.67/95-CE. Since Unit B manufactures product ABC and what is cleared from Unit B is not XYZ (inputs received from Unit A) either as such or after being partially processed, the removal of ABC from Unit B has to be on the payment of Central Excise Duty. - Reply By Yatin Bhopi - The Reply = exactly sir That's why I also pointed out this in my quer .....

..... y regarding job work under Rule 4 5 (a). I am confused in phrase partially process input and semi finished goods. - Reply By SURESH ASTEKAR - The Reply = Dear Shri. Yatin Bhopi, Partially processed means there is no complete manufacture i.e., the process carried out does not amount to manufacture in the sense a new product (distinct from the input on which the process was carried out) which is known distinctly in the market, does not emerge. In the case of semi-finished goods the same logic applies. - Reply By surya narayana - The Reply = Dear Friends, It is not clear in the query whether the product manufactured by unit B (ABC) is an intermediate( partially processed ) or a final product where as I presumed it is an interm .....

Further, even if the product received back from Job worker (PQR) by unit -B , is a final product, then also unit -B cannot be sold it as it is from its factory unless they carry out final packing and required labeling etc. which is considered as further process which squarely covers under Rule 4(5)(a) of CCR,2004.
