Excise duty exemption for readymade garments as handicrafts depends on the Supreme Court tests: predominantly made by hand and graced by substantial visual ornamentation. Development Commissioner views may be considered but must align with the Court's principles. Classification is a question of fact; assess intricacy of design, originality and extent of hand ornamentation, individual artistic skill, and value addition from handwork when deciding exemption eligibility.
