This discussion addresses how the cess on coal purchases is calculated when the quantity falls between 1 and 2 tonnes. The standard rate is 400 RS/MT. The user questions whether the cess for 1.5 MT would be calculated on the actual 1.5 MT or rounded up to 2 MT. The consensus suggests it should be calculated on the actual 1.5 MT, and the user is seeking a circular for official reference.
