19 July 2012 Process amounting to manufacture is a general terminology used in the central excise. But each tariff heading is different for that matter.

Kindly tell us under what tariff heading your products are excisable so that we can verify the chapter notes and reply for repacking, processing etc.,

Are you in the SSI exemption list or not?

Assembling of data processing unit from duty paid parts amounts to manufacture- Hansa Electronics v. CCE 1999(121) ELT 738(CEGAT). The turnover upto the 1.5 crore is exempt from excise duty.
