Purchase goods from un-registered excise no. mfg unit

 If the unregistered mfg. co. turnover does not exceed 1.5 crores , is not liable to pay the central excise. 

but purchaser taking the goods in own branding on the product. Is any liabilty will stand on them? and if that trader is excise registered company also then what is the liabilty will come one the company? 

If the purchaser take the goods in own branding on the product, the liability of central excise is only goes to  who are the manufacturer.

If trader is excise Dealer ,  there is no liability to pay duty.  he is liable to only pass on the duty to his customers.

1) goods are manufactured by SSI unit availing 1.5 cr exemption 

2a) brand name is of somebody who is eligible to pay duty ( non ssi)

2b) brand name is of somebody who is not eligible to pay duty 

3a) manufacturer fixed the brand and cleared as branded goods

3b) manufacturer fixed the brand but cleared the goods as unbranded

A) situation 1+2a+3a = manufacturer can not use his SSI capacity and has to pay duty on such clearance from Rs 1/-

B) situation 1+2a+3b= manufacturer will deny that the brand was not communicated to him and he knows nothing about it , and brand owner would get liable to pay duty for affixing his brand as deemed manufacturer for fixing the brand.

C) situation 1+2b+3a = no impact as manufacturer as well as brand owner both are exempted, here the manufacturer has to get a excise tax status of brand owner, with undertaking that if duty is levied, the brand owner will pay the duty component.

D) situation 1+2b+3b = No impact as both are exempted.
