10 March 2015 We have not taken central excise registration for our company manufacturing Solar Water Heater as the item was exempted from Excise Duty vide Item-5 of List-8 of notification No.12/2012-Central Excise, dated 17th March.

But as per Notification No. 12/2015 Central Excise dated 1-3-2015 the exemption was withdrawn but the optional exemption is given, see details below.


Excise duty exemption is being withdrawn on solar water heater and system. Item-5 of List-8 of notification No.12/2012-Central Excise, dated 17th March, 2012 as omitted vide notification No.12/2015-Central Excise dated 1st March, 2015. Further, optional excise duty of Nil without CENVAT credit / 12.5% with CENVAT credit is being extended to solar water heater and system. Notification No.12/2012-Central Excise, dated 17th March, 2012 as amended by notification No.12/2015-Central Excise dated 1st March, 2015 [new S. No. 238A] and Clause 104 of the Finance Bill, 2015 refer.

Can you inform me whether we required registration for our factory for availing optional exemption for Solar Water Heater.
