I am a 100% subsidiary of American company, am I eligible for SSI Exemption of 150 Lakhs. My turnover for previous year is 70 lakhs.

Within my knowledge,being a subsidary of a foriegn company is not a barrier to claim SSI exemption since your previous yr turnover is within specified exemption limit.Please wait for others opinion

But when I approached the excise officer to give a declaration as my turnover crossed 90 lakhs, he said it is not eligible for SSI Exemption and Duty is to be paid from the first rupee of clearance.

Here's a clear explanation regarding your SSI exemption query:
---
### SSI Exemption and Foreign Subsidiaries
**Small Scale Industry (SSI) exemption** under Central Excise law allows manufacturers with turnover (typically up to ₹150 lakhs) to claim exemption from excise duty.
---
### Key points to consider:
1. **Turnover limit:**
The SSI exemption applies if your **aggregate turnover** in the previous financial year is below the prescribed limit (₹150 lakhs in your case).
2. **Subsidiary status:**
Being a **100% subsidiary of a foreign company** does **not automatically disqualify** you from SSI exemption. The exemption is primarily based on turnover, not ownership.
3. **Excise officer's view:**
If the officer is denying exemption because your turnover "crossed 90 lakhs," this may be due to one of the following:
* There might be specific conditions or notifications applicable.
* The turnover considered may be **aggregate turnover including related/associated units**.
* Misinterpretation or incorrect advice by the officer.
---
### Suggested action:
* **Check the latest Central Excise notifications** related to SSI exemption for your sector.
* Verify if your turnover includes sales from associated or related entities which may affect the limit.
* You can submit a **written representation** to the officer citing your turnover and parent company status.
* If necessary, seek **legal/consultancy advice** or approach the **Central Excise appellate authority**.
---
### Summary:
* Subsidiary status alone does **not** disqualify you from SSI exemption.
* Turnover exceeding prescribed limits disqualifies exemption.
* Verify actual turnover and related units before concluding.

If you want, I can help draft a letter or representation for the excise department. Would that help?
