14 February 2011 1. Presently there is no duty on Branded Jewelery. It was withdrawn in 2009-10 budget. Earlier it was levied @2%. The product “Articles of Jewellery”, under the Central Excise Tariff Heading 7113, is exempted from the Central Excise duty, vide Notification no. 6/2002-CE dated 1-3-2002 as amended till date, item serial no. 171.
2. No Excise duty is payable as manufacture of branded jewelery is exempt. However, Job work falls under Business Auxiliary Service, and Service Tax is payable on job charges.
3. As the jewelery is itself exempted, no payment of duty is required.
