We supply our product to clients like BHEL executing mega power projects. The purchase orders are given on a Excise Exempt basis and Project Authority Certificate (PAC) is provided to us with our name as a supplier to enable us to invoice the client without Excise. How do we obtain the same benefit ( excise/customs exemption) when we in turn procure inputs( both domestic and imported) from our suppliers?. Do we need to ask our client to include our supplier names in the original PAC that they provide or a seperate PAC has to be obtained and if so by whom or do we need to approach our Excise Jurisdiction for the same.
