18 September 2010 MSME exemption notifications clearly use the words ‘first clearances on or after 1st April in any financial year’. In Remakrishna Engineering Works v. CCE, (1996) 83 ELT 346 (CEGAT), it has been held that all clearance from 1st April in chronological order have to be considered for purpose of calculation of exemption limit of Rs.100 lakhs. Thus, if some goods are cleared on payment of duty, those will also have to be considered for calulating the limit of 100 lakhs.

Rate of duty in respect of Clearances of Specified goods
Value of Clearance (Rs.) Rate of duty Remarks
Upto 100 Lakhs 60% of normal rate Cenvat credit is of duty available from the beginning itself
100-300 Lakhs Normal rate of duty Can avail Cenvat .
