Imposition of Central Excise duty on jewellery prompts sub-committee review and interim compliance safeguards for jewellers. A Sub-Committee will be constituted to advise on implementation and compliance procedures for the Central Excise duty on jewellery, including records, forms (including Form 12AA) and operating procedures, with written representations and in-person hearings for all-India associations and a report due within sixty days. Interim safeguards: duty effective from 1 March 2016, registration allowed within sixty days, March duty may be paid with April returns; payments based on first-sale invoice value; invoiced valuation not to be challenged if caratage/purity, weight and gemstone carats are stated; no visits, arrests, prosecutions, searches or seizures by Central Excise; exporters may use self-declaration and LUT without Central Excise ratification.
