Srap is dutiable in your case. You should pay excise duty.

Mr. Dutta has rightly pointed out.

I am including one point with Mr. Dutta for that you are to maintain separate acoounts for Dutiable goods and Exempted goods.

Otherwise Mr Rajesh Kumar's opinion is correct.

Thanks,

S. Banerjee

Well, I donot agree with Mr. Dutta and Mr. Banerjee.

Excisability of a product doesnot depend upon the factum that whether you have taken cenvat on inputs or not. If a product is excisable, duty is to be paid irrespective of the fact whether you have taken credit or not. Thus even if you have not taken credit on the inputs, but the scrap is excisbale, duty is required to be paid.

A waste/scrap is dutiable if wo conditions are satisfied- firstly it has been generated during course of an activity amountining to manufacture and secondly it should be specifically mentioned in the tariff. If these two conditionas are satisfied, scrap is dutiable.

Well, I agree with the points raised by all of you. just a clarification needed to be given on Mr. Dutta & Mr. Banerjee's point.

As per Mr. Dutta & Mr. Banarjee If the goods/ Input received on which you have availed the credit is used in production / manufacturing process. Then scarp generated out of it is taxable. If it is not your productive scrap then you need not to pay duty on it.

If the pesticide are dutiable (you are paying duty), the scrap is dutiable and duty is required to paid. If however, the whole production of the unit is exempt, no duty is required to be paid on scrap.

sir,

if it is an EOU or SEZ, then what will be the liability of duty on the scrap sold....

Also if the scrap sold is in the nature of Packing materials whether excise duty has to be paid on it and wgether tcs must be collected.. (as packing material is not a manufacturing scrap i guess)..

Kindly give solutions
