Dear Sh.Ajay Chhajed,

1. You will have to seek new registration in respect of new premises in terms of para no.3.2 of Chapter 2 (Registration) of CBEC's Excise Manual of Supplementary Instructions, 2005. Separate registration is required in respect of separate premises. Exceptions are there but not applicable in your case.

2. Cenvat Credit involved on inputs, capital goods, in process, contained in semi-finished goods can be transferred to newly registered premises under Rule 10 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 with permission of jurisdictional Deputy Commissioner/ A.C. You will have to apply for the same.

3. Regarding transfer of stocks mentioned in your query, you can transfer/shift your all stocks( whether cenvatable or non-cenvatable/non-excisable) on the invoices to be issued from old registered premises to newly registered premises under Rule 11 of Central Excise Rules, 2002. The department has nothing to do with stock of non-excisable goods but you may use the same invoice book for proper accountal of the stock to be transferred.

4. You may immediately surrender the registration certificate in respect of old premises after the completion of shifting process and other formalities required for surrender and cancelling thereof as name and style of the firm remains the same.

If any doubt you may post another query.
