01 December 2015 I have gathered some information regarding excise duty on Sugar which includes

1. Chapter 17 of first schedule of Central Excise Tariff Act stating 12.5% (http://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//htdocs-cbec/excise/cxt-2015-16/chap17.pdf)

2. Also appendix-1 of The Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 stating additional duty of Rs.37/quintal which I think has been withdrawn but not update in CBEC website (http://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//htdocs-cbec/excise/cxt-2015-16/appxI-II.pdf)

3. Further Notification No.12/2012-Central Excise specifies Rs.71/quintal on sugar. (http://www.cbec.gov.in/htdocs-cbec/excise/cx-act/notifications/notfns-2012/cx-tarr2012/ce12-2012-revised.pdf)

4. Also as per Section 3 of The Sugar Cess Act, 1982 Rs.14/quital in leviable on sugar.

5.An article published in Business Standard dated April 17th, 2015 states Rs.97/ quintal.(http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/punjab-govt-wants-lower-excise-duty-on-sugar-115041700894_1.html)

So I want to know what is exact excise duty payable on Sugar in India currently and how it is calculated? Is there any state level duty which is imposed on Sugar?
