Excise Dealer Return Query

for imported goods , u have to file the return manually 

Originally posted by : Ashish
	We registred our firm as an Excise Dealer in Dec 2010 having Registration number ending with ED002. In Jan 2011, we imported some goods and the said goods are still lying in our warehouse. We have not sold a single piece till 31.03.2011.   Q1) For the quarter Jan-Mar 2011, do we submit a "Nil" Return ? Q2) In the Dealer Form we note that under the head "Documents based on which the credit is passed" we need to mention, "BL No, Date, Issued By, Registration No,  Name & Address". As we are selves are the importer, who's details in the field "Issued By" and "Registration No." do we mention in the next quarter return that is to be submited (after me make a sale).   PS: We shall be passing on Excise Duty on Sale and the return does not allow us to mention our own Registration Number when we try to do so.

answer for question no : 1  , yes, u have file nil return.

answer for question no : 2, u are importer, uhave file return manually

Thank you all for your prompt resplies.

Have filed 'NIL' Return a short while back and shall file the manual return for the next quarter post sales.

Earlier, dealers who imported goods or purchased goods from other importers had difficulty in filing dealer returns in ACES, as the ACES application did not allow such dealers to mention their own Central Excise registration number, or the IEC Code of the importer in the column prescribed for mentioning the CE Registration number in the block "Documents based on which credit is passed on" in the dealer return . The application has now been modified, so that 1st or 2nd stage dealers who have either imported goods on their own or have purchased goods from other Importers can mention their own IEC code or the IEC Code of the importers in the prescribed column. The ACES application will verify if the IEC code is a valid one available in the database or not and in case of invalid IEC codes, the returns will be rejected. In case of rejection, the dealers can incorporate the correct IEC codes and e-file the return.     

1. Yes, You required to file NIL return

2. earlieer there was a problem for Importer to file return ONLINE, but now it has been rectified and you can file the return Electronically{ONLINE)
