| Here is the accounting treatment: 1. Purchase of MEIS License from Third Party: Dr. MEIS License (Asset/Prepaid) Rs. 80,000 Cr. Bank/Creditor Rs. 80,000 2. Utilization of MEIS License against Custom Duty of Rs. 1,00,000: Dr. Custom Duty Expense Rs. 1,00,000 Cr. MEIS License Rs. 80,000 Cr. Profit on MEIS Utilization (Other Income) Rs. 20,000 3. Alternative Treatment: Some companies net off the saving directly: Dr. Custom Duty Rs. 80,000 (net cost) Cr. MEIS License Rs. 80,000 (and show customs duty at actual cost paid rather than face value) 4. Income Tax Treatment: The Rs. 20,000 saving (discount on MEIS purchase) is taxable as 'Business Income' in the year of utilization. 5. GST Note: MEIS scrips (now MEIS has been replaced by RoDTEP/RoSCTL for most categories) — trading of such scrips may attract GST. Verify current DGFT scheme applicability and GST treatment on transfer of scrips. 6. Preferred Treatment: Option 1 (showing full custom duty and recognizing profit separately) is cleaner for audit trail and P&L transparency — recommended for most businesses. |
