2. ED -RATES
Basic Excise Duty is levied u/s 3(1) of Central Excise Act. The section is termed as ‘charging section’.
General rate of duty of central excise on non-petroleum products has been increased from 10%
to 12% w.e.f. 17-3-2012. (The duty rate was 14% during 1-3-2008 to 6-12-2008, which was reduced
to 10% w.e.f. 7-12-2008 and to 8% w.e.f. 24-02-2009). This duty is applicable to majority of excisable
goods. There is partial exemption to a few products.
• Education Cess @ 2% of excise duty under section 93 of Finance (No. 2) Act (w.e.f. 9-7-2004).
• Secondary and Higher Education Cess (S&H Education Cess) @ 1% of the total duties of excise
vide section 136 read with section 138 of Finance Act, 2007 w.e.f. 1-3-2007.
Thus, total excise duty is 12.36%% in majority of the cases.
Example 2: Basic Excise Duty = 12%
Add: 2% Edu. Cess on 12% = 0.24%
Add: 1% S & H Edu. Cess on 12% = 0.12%
Total effective rate of duty = 12.36%
National Calamity Contingent Duty – A ‘National Calamity Contingent Duty’ (NCCD) has been imposed
vide section 136 of Finance Act, 2001 on some products. NCCD of 1% has been imposed on mobile
phones w.e.f. 1-3-2008.
In addition, cesses and duties have been imposed on some specified products.

3. 2.5.1 What is the Taxable Event?
The taxable event is of great significance in levy of any tax or duty.
Excise duty is leviable on all excisable goods, which are produced or
manufactured in India. Thus, ‘manufacture or production in India’ of an
excisable goods is a ‘taxable event’ for Central Excise. It becomes
immaterial that duty is collected at a later stage i.e. at the time of
removal of goods. Therefore, removal from factory is not the ‘taxable event’.

4. 5.5 COLLECTION OF EXCISE DUTY
FOR COLLECTION OF CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY, THE FOLLOWING TWO
PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED BY THE CENTRAL EXCISE
DEPARTMENT:
(I) PHYSICAL CONTROL PROCEDURE: APPLICABLE TO CIGARETTES
ONLY. IN THIS CASE, THE ASSESSMENT PRECEDES
CLEARANCE, WHICH TAKES PLACE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF
CENTRAL EXCISE OFFICERS;
(II) SELF-REMOVAL PROCEDURE: APPLICABLE TO ALL OTHER
GOODS PRODUCED OR MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE
COUNTRY. UNDER THIS SYSTEM, THE ASSESEE HIMSELF
DETERMINES THE DUTY LIABILITY ON THE GOODS AND
CLEARS THE GOODS.

Example 34: A manufacturer has appointed brokers for obtaining orders from wholesalers.
The brokers procure orders for which they get brokerage of 5% on selling price.
Manufacturer sells goods to buyers at ` 250 per piece. The price is inclusive of State Vat
and Central excise duty. State Vat rate is 4% and excise duty rate is 12% plus education
cess and SAH education cess as applicable. What is the AV, and
what is duty payable per piece?
17
18. SOLUTION
Answer: Assume that Assessable Value = x. No deduction is available in respect of brokerage paid to
third parties from Assessable Value.
Since Excise duty is 12%, education cess is 2%, SAH education cess is 1% and State Vat rate is 4%,
price including excise will be 1.1 236x.
State Vat @ 4% of 1 .1236x is 0.0449x. Hence, price inclusive of sales tax and excise duty will be
1.1 685x.
Now, 1.1685x = ` 250.00
Hence, X = ` 213.95
Check the answer as follows –
Assessable Value = ` 213.95
Add duty @ 12.36% of ` 213.95 = ` 26.44
Add State Vat @ 4% on ` 240.39 (213.95+26.44) = ` 9.62
Total Price (Including duty and tax)
(213.95+26.44+9.62) = ` 250.00

19. PRODUCT NOT COVERED BY SEC .4A
Example 35: Find Assessable Value and duty payable. The product is not covered under section 4A.
Maximum Retail Trade Price : ` 1,100 per unit, State Vat, Octroi and other Local Taxes: 10% of net price,
Cash Discount :2%, Trade Discount: 8%, Primary and Secondary packing cost included in the above
MRP: ` 100, Excise duty rate: 12% ad valorem plus education cesses as applicable.
Answer: Cash discount ` 22 (2% of ` 1,100) and trade discount ` 88 [8% of ` 1,100] are available as
deduction. Packing cost is not allowable as deduction. Hence, price of excise purposes is ` 990. [` 1,100
– 22 – 88]. — Now, if X is the assessable value, excise duty is 0 1 .1236x. State Vat and local taxes
@ 10 % of 1 .1236x will be 0.1236x and price including Excise duty is inclusive of excise duty and sales
tax will be 1 .2360x.
Now, 1 .2360 x = ` 990.00
Hence, x = ` 800.97
Excise Duty @ 12.36% of ` 800.97 x = ` 99.00
Check the answer as follows Assessable Value = ` 800.97
Add duty @ 12.36% of ` 800.97 = ` 99.00
Add State Vat @ 10% on ` 899.97 = ` 90.00
(800.97+99)
Total Price (After allowable deductions) = ` 989.97 or ` 990

Example 37: M/s. XYZ Ltd., sold machinery to Mr. Kapoor at a price of ` 5 lakhs on 15th June, 2012 and
the same was removed from the factory at Kolkata. The rate of excise duty applicable is 12.36% on the
date of removal. Mr. Kapoor refused to take delivery of the machine when it reached his destination.
In the meantime, M/x. XYZ Ltd. increased the prices of the similar type of machinery to ` 6 lakhs with
effect from 16th June, 2012. The machinery as refused by Mr. Kapoor has been sold on 20th June 2012

with effect from 10th June, 2012.
Explain the following with reasons:
(i) What is the value to be taken as assessable value?
(ii) What is the rate of excise duty applicable and duty payable on above transaction?
(iii) The Central Excise Officer is demanding duty on the price of ` 6 lakhs at the time of sale to Mr. L. Is
he right in his approach?
(iv) Does cost of production have any bearing on the assessable value?
23. SOLUTION
23
(i) The price prevailing at the time of removal from factory (i.e. ` 5 lacs on 15th June 2012 is the
assessable value.
(ii) The applicable rate of duty is @1 2.36% and duty amount is ` 61,800 (i.e. ` 5 lacs x 12.36/100).
(iii) The Central Excise Officer is not right in his approach.
(iv) Cost of production has no bearing with assessable value in present case. Central Excise valuation
can be below manufacturing cost. If price is the sole consideration and dealing between seller
and buyer are arm’s length, assessable value will be decided on the basis of selling price, even if
it is below manufacturing cost. So cost of manufacturing will not change the assessable value.

Calculate the total excise duty liability of B Ltd for both the products.
solutionAnswer:
Eye Ointment:
Let us assume X as the assessable value
Assessable Value = x
Add: BED @14% = 0.14X
Add: Education Cess @2% = 0.0028X
Add: SAH @1% = 0.001 4X
= 1.1 442X
Add: CST @ 4% = 0.045768X

Vijayawada by making an endorsement of LR and goods were diverted to Vijayawada. Is the second
sale between Mr. C and Mr. V chargeable to tax?

Answer:
The first sale by Mr. K to Mr. C is chargeable to central sales tax. However, sale of goods by C to V is
exempt under Section 6(2) i.e. subsequent sale by transfer of documents to avoid multiple tax incidences.
Note: Form E-I from K and Form C from V has to be received by C.

49
50. ANSWER
Computation of Mr. Raja turnover and central sales tax payable
Particulars `
Total inter-State sales 92,50,000
Less: Freight shown separately in the invoices 1,00,000
Installation and commissioning charges shown separately 15,000
-------------
Aggregate turnover 91,35,000
========
CST payable is ` 1,79,118 (i.e. ` 91,35,000 x 2/102)
Taxable turnover is ` 89,55,882 (i.e. ` 91,35,000 – 1,79,118)
Notes:
Excise duty forms part of the sale price and is not deductible.
Freight not shown separately in the invoices and insurance charges incurred prior to delivery of goods
are not deductible in calculating the turnover.
Sale price includes incentive on sales received from manufacturer.
The CST on transactions covered by valid ‘C’ forms is 2% or the State sales-tax rate, whichever is lower.
It has been assumed that in this case, the State VAT rate is higher than 2%. Therefore, the rate of CST is
taken as 2%.
