Please tell me the excise duty rate as on 1.04.08 and in interim budget exicise duty rate was changed and what is the Revised Rate and revised rate is applicable to Manufacturing Org from which Date?

We are a SSI manufacturer of Pharmaceutical Formulations clearing goods under basic exemption of upto 1.5 crore turnover.
We have signed an agreement with a party who intends to supply products manufactured by us to the Government under the following terms:
1. Products will be manufactured by us under our own mfg licence granted by FDA (no Loan Licence).
2. All inputs required will be procured by us (No Job work or contract mfg)
3. Agreement mentions that sale is on Principal to Principal Basis
4. The product packaging states Manufactured by us and Marketed by the other party.
5. Since goods are for Govt supply there is no MRP printed, instead the pack says "Not for Sale".

My query is
1. Can we clear the goods so manufactured under our available exemption limit?
2. If yes, is the assesable value the transaction value between us and the buyer or is it the rate at which the buyer sells to the Govt?
3. If no, then what is the assesable value?

Thanks in anticipation.
Regards.

We are purchasing goods from a trader who is in turn purchasing bulk durgs from manufacturer.
We are also manufacturer in bulk drugs registered with Excise.
The Trader from who we are purchasing goods is leving excise duty in his bill.

Firstly I want to know whether a Trader can collect excise duty.

Secondly I want to know whether there would be any difference in calculation for taking the excise credit (Set-Off) When we are Purchasing bulk drugs from a Trader vis-A-Vis Purchasing from the Manufacturer.

is the process of packing of goods form part of goods?
is packing of goods considered to be a part of manufacturing of goods?
does process of manufacturing of goods fall under the definition of goods?

we are a manufacturing concern & we have huge balance in Excise Account ( RG 23A Part 2) & Incresing on year on year.

Is any provision in excise low to have a refund of the said balance (in full or Partial).

Requested to give me section with procedural aspect.
