Dear Sir,

As per my view, As you are a SSI unit carrying out job work for others. The liability is not in your scope. As ER4 is mandate to file by the units/assessee whose duty payment above ₹ 1.00 Crore during previous year, you have not paid any duty. Therefore you are not eligible for filing such ER4 return.

Sir,

It is agreed that yours being an SSI Unit, hence not required to file ER-4 returns.

However, there are numerous columns under From ER-4 returns such as Para 4 relating to Details of Income and details of job work undertaken by the assessee as well as para 5 relating to Cenvat credit availed and utilized.

As you are doing job work and earning job work charges as well as availing and utilizing cenvat credit above rupees 1 crore, hence it is advisable to file ER-4 return.

However, you may take second opinion on the issue.
