OF COURSE,ALTERNATIVELY, THE ABOVE EXP. CAN ALSO BE DEBITED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL DIVISION WHEN YOU PEPARE SEPARATE P&L ACCOUNT FOR EACH DIVISION.DIVISION WISE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO BE PREPARED FOR ASSESSMENT OF INCOME TAX AND FOR LENDERS LIKE BANKS/FIN.INSTS.
A MNFG. CO CAN TAKE MODVAT CRERDIT FOR THE EXCISE PAID BY IT ON ALL APPLICABLE ITEMS.
