An assessee can take cenvat credit against service tax paid and utilise for (a) Payment of Excise duty, (b) Output Service.
But in the given case we understand that the business deals with excise exempted goods.
Trading of excise exempted/paid goods also do not attract any liability until opt for issue of cenvat invoices.
It does not impact on liability of excise duty to affix any brand/marka until the manufacturing/processing unit is exempted under any law or conditions under laws or covered under SSI service provider.
