Excise Registration No, Central Excise

[Dinesh Tyagi]

Dear All,

Can any one tell me that what is the difference between ECC no

AAACK00952XD001 and AAACK00952ED001

or

AAACK000952XM001 and AAACK00952EM001.

I have read the following about the ECC No.

ECC - Excise Control Code

Excise Control Code number is a link PAN based 15 digit alpha numeric registration number given to all the Central Excise Assesses under Central Excise Act. It is used to identify each assessee who is liable to pay excise duty to Government of India.

Format of ECC Number
It is a PAN based 15 digit alpha numeric numbers. The first 10 digits of the code is the same as the PAN number of the concerned person to whom the Excise Control Code is to be allotted. The next 2 characters are alphabets which could be:

XM - Central Excise Manufacturer
XD - Registered Dealer

The Last three characters could be 001, 002 or 003 depending on the number of registered factory, dealer's premise or warehouse.

Its one and the same... no any difference therein,...

But why is there a change in nomenclature .

I want to site a instance where a company had a ECC number with PAN card no & XD004 in the end( e.g, AAACK00952XD004) and now it is Pancard no & ED004(AAACK00952ED004) in the end.

Is it something related to if the subsidiaries of any multinational company does trading activity in India with multiple offices.

Please clarify.
