Excise duty exemption under notification 10/97
We are going to despatch our product without payment of duty under notification 10/97(Research Instute - Public funded), whether we have to reverse 5% of duty under theCenvat Credit Rule, 2004 (rule 6) Can any body explain me.

Example : If the Value of the Exempted Goods is ₹ 100, then you have to reverse ₹ 5. This will Non Cenvatable and Cost to you. This value will not reflect on the Excise Invoice hence not recoverable from the Customer.

Dear Sir,

As per my view, you need to reverse the six percent amount as per rule 6(3)(i) of value of exempted goods i.e. generators. This amount should be shown on invoice as per trade notice of Indore Commissionerate. Although it is not the duty of excise, It will not be charged to customer.

Yes sir, as explained above, you have to reverse 6% of the total value of the exempted goods.

Previously it was 5% but substituted to 6 % vide notification no. 3/2011 CE(NT) dated 1.3.2011 w.e.f. 1.4.2011,
