You have to apply for new excise registration in your company's name, the old registration have to be surrendered since it belong to some other company. Without registration you can not raise excise invoice you can only raise commercial invoice indicating total cost and you can also charge VAT/CST if you are registered for sales tax.
In case of sales tax once you apply for registration you can start issuing Tax Invoice but incase of Excise till the time you receive your Excise Registration No you cannot issue Excise Invoice.
Firstly you must need new excise registration under rule 9 of Central Excise Rule 2002(Form A-1). you can surrender old registration number, prescribed form is available in Rule 9 of Central Excise Rule 2002. And Duration of the procedure of the new registration you can't issue cenvatable invoice.
