Regarding DTA sales by 100% <a href='http://www.eximguru.com/exim/eou/default.aspx'>EOU</a>s - Eligibility for the benefit of
Notification No. 8/97-CE, dated 1.3.97- Clarification
Circular
No. 389
dated 5th May 1998
I
am directed to draw your attention to Notification 8/87-CE dated 1.3.97 which
exempts the finished products, rejects, wastes or scraps specified in the
Schedule to the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985 and produced or manufactured, in
a 100% EOU or FTZ wholly from the raw materials produced or manufactured, in
India and sold the DTA from the raw materials produced or manufactured, in India
and sold the DTA from so much of duty of excise leviable thereon under Section 3
of the Central Excise Act, 1944, as in excess of an amount equal to duty of
excise leviable under section 3 of Central Excise Act on like goods produced or
manufactured in DTA and sold in India doubts have arisen regarding eligibility
of the benefit of the said Notification in the following situations:
(i)
Where the EOUs/ Units in FTZs produce goods from both the indigenous and
imported raw materials.
(ii)
Whether the term 'raw-materials' appearing in Notification No. 8/97-CE
would cover within its purview the consumables as well.
2.
The matter has been examined by the Board and it is clarified that:
a.
In respect of situation (i) above the benefit of Notification 8/97-CX
dated 1.3.97 cannot be extended to those units, which manufactured goods out of
both imported and indigenous raw material. The benefit is available to those
units, which manufacture goods only from indigenous raw materials.
b.
In respect of situation (ii) a Unit is eligible for the benefit of
Notification 8/97-CX, ibid, even if, imported consumables are used since the
Notification does not debar the use of imported consumables, provided other
conditions of the said Notification are satisfied.
3.
All pending disputes may be decided in light of aforesaid clarification.
