Ssi units : duty payment & return filing


21 September 2011 In the Previous Year the clearance from the SSI Unit was below Rs.400 Lakhs. In the Current Year Excise Duty has been paid from the 1st day of March i.e. without availing the exemption up to clearance value of Rs.150 Lakhs.

Questions :-
1. Whether the unit is still classifiable as SSI Unit under excise laws?
2. Is the unit eligible to pay duty and file returns quarterly as applicable to SSI Units?

Please clarify the above citing relevant notifications, rules and provisions under Central Excise.

21 September 2011 1. Yes it can claim exemption under SSI
2. Yes unit is eligible to pay the duty and file return on quarterly basis.

Thank you for your immediate reply.

Can you please cite relevant notifications and rules under excise.

It is being difficult to convince the answer seeker. can you please detail your answer.

Your reply will be highly appreciated.

21 September 2011 I do not agree with Mr Vishrut

You have answer in your own question, the status of SSI in Excise Law is turn-over base and relevant notification for the same.

It is optional to Industry to opt for SSI exemption or not ?
In your case you have not Opt for SSI exemption, and start paying ED since day one.
hence, you are not a SSI unit in Excise Law.

Thank you for your reply.

For argumentative purpose if I say, that as per notification no. 8/2003 first comes whether an unit is SSI (i.e. Value of Clearance in the PY is less than Rs.400 Lakhs) and then the unit has an option to avail the said exemption.

Therefore for not availing of the said exemption, the unit cannot be denied SSI status.

Can you please give some concrete argument citing relevant notifications and rules there under?

22 September 2011 SSI benefit is available to the assesee unless he cross 400 Lacs of home clearance, ( notification 8/2003 as amended), but the return filing would get monthly, as the assesee is not availing the value based exemption.

quarterly return is only for the assessee who are availing value based exemption contained under notification 8/2003
