Iam an article ,my articleship started on 5 jan 08, but i want to terminate my articleship because of heavy workload and excessive worktime. Can i terminate my articleship, i have yet not got my identity card.

If no TDS is deducted from the salary then can an employee ask from the employer for a "NIL" Form 16?

I doubt whether Central Exicse duty is applicable on Ready Mix Concrete. To my knowledge there is a distinction between "Concrete Mix" and " Ready Mix Concrete. I know that concrete mix is a product manufactured under conventional method of concrete production with ISI standard 456-1978 which is produced and used at the site of construction. It is this concrete Mixture manufactured at the site of construction which is fully exempt according to notification No. 4/97 issued on 1.3.97 vide Sl.No. 51.


While Ready Mix Concrete is a product having separate tariff rate with 3824.20 under ISI's IS. 4926-1976. Ready Mix Concrete is a concrete delivered at site or into the Purchaser's vehicle in a plastic condition (unlike concrete mix which is manufactured at the site of construction and used immediately at site itself) and requiring no further treatment before being placed in the position in which it is to stay and harden. Hence it attracts duty @ 13% up to October 97 and at 8% from October 97 under heading 3824.20.

I believe it is still taxable at 8% unless it is exempted with subsequent notification which I could not get it. My assessing authority is ready to levy tax at 13% under old rate which I opposed and furnished notification no. 65/97-CE, dated 21.10.97 where duty on Ready Mix Concrete is to be taxed at 8% only.

If u could confirm that it is fully exempted kindly provide me notification copy or citation to submit the same to assessing authority.

I believe that Notification No. 4/97 dated 1.3.97 only speaks about exemption to "concrete Mix" but not " Ready Mix Concrete" If this is also exempted Kindly Advise me at the earliest so that I will be very comfortable before assessing authority.

I refer to the information given by sheetal Metha of india budget 2008-09.

I believe Earlier FBT is payable on quarterly basis based on the actual expenditure incurred in that particular quarter. The due date for payment of at this stage is 15th of the subsequent month for which that particular quarter ends.

Now FBT is also payable as Advance Tax based on the estimated expenditure figures where due dates of payment is similar to that of Advance Tax payment of Income Tax.

I hope some body will correct me if I am worng.
