WE are currently a wholesale Trader, trading in various industrial Products.

Recently we have launched our in House brand X. Brand X is being manufactured by a SSI Unit whose aggregate turnover is less than 1.5 Cr annualy. He IS not paying excise as his turnover is less that 1.5 Cr.

Recently we have advised our manufacture that we wish to register our brand name i.e. get a TM further leading to R. Our manufacturer is currently advising us that we cannot register a brand being a trader instead he needs to register it as a manufacturer. Reason he is giving is, if he manufactures somone else's brand then he will have to pay excise.

My query is :

1) My intention behind registering my brand is to protect the brand name. If I register brand name under my business name and then the product is being manufactured by an SSI. Do I have to pay excise by default?? My understanding was SSI within limit of 1.5 CR need not pay excise.I have been told by manufacturer that as soon as u register for Trademark registration I will have to pay excise even if his turnover is less than 1.5 Cr.

2) What is the solution in this scenario ? I would like full control of my brand without having to pay excise.

3) Is there any procedure I need to do to 1) Get my brand name registered on my name and 2) Not come under excise ?? I dont want my brand name X to be registered on manufacturers name as he is not the actual owner, I am.

Your assistance in this matter would be highly recommended.

Hi All,

We are a manufacturing company situated at Kanpur.

We are going to establish a new warehouse in Mundra, Gujarat. we would be transferring the finished goods from Kanpur to Mundra and then the goods would be exported only from Mundra. Can you please let me know what excise formalities would be required for this???

We would own a rented warehouse in Mundra. This would be a permanent establishment.

DEAR SIR,

I AM AN IMPORTER AND DEALER OF EXCISABLE GOODS AND IN ORDER TO PASS ON DUTY BENEFIT TO MY CUSTOMERS TO WHOM I SELL IMPORTED (GOODS)ITEMS DIRECTLY , I HAVE ALSO REGISTERED AS A DEALER WITH CENTRAL EXCISE.

I HAVE ISSUED INVOICES WHICH NEED TO BE FILED FOR MY QUARTERLY RETURN.

IN THE " DEALER RETURN - INVOICES ISSUED, RECEIVED " PAGE UNDER HEADING :INVOICES ISSUED BY FIRST STAGE/SECOND STAGE DEALER " I COULD ENTERE ALL THE INVOICES ISSUED BY ME.

IN THE "DOCUMENT BASED ON WHICH THE CREDIT IS PASSED ON" I HAVE ENTERED BILL OF ENTRY NUMBER, DATE ISSUED BY IMPORTER. UNDER COLUMN " REGISTRATION NUMBER", WHEN I ENTER MY REGISTRATION NUMBER - MY FIRM NAME AND ADDRESS " AND PRESS SUBMIT BUTTON, I RECEIVE THE MESSAGE " ASSESSE CANNOT ENTER HIS/HER OWN REGISTRATION NUMBER IN :DOCUMENTS BASED ON WHICH THE CREDIT IS PASSED." AND HENCE I CANNOT COMPLETE MY RETURN AND SUBMIT.

MY PRINCIPALS FROM WHOM I IMPORT THE GOODS ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH ACSE AND HENCE DO NOT HAVE ANY REGISTRATION NUMBER.

WHEN I SUBMIT MANUAL RETURN WITH DEPARTMENT THEY ARE SAYING DO E-FILING.

SO KINDLY HELP US TO FILE E-RETURN ON TIME,

A client proposes to engage in manufacture of encapsulant films -which are used in manufacturing solar cells. as per List 5, excise duty on solar photovoltaic cell is NIL. does that mean encapsulant films are also subject to NIL rate of duty

the link contains provisions of rate of duty applicable.
Pls advise.
