Cess on motor vehicles applies at manufacturer clearance and should not be re levied where chassis cess was already paid. The levy targets vehicle manufacturers and not independent body builders: cess must be levied and collected on vehicles as cleared from manufacturers' premises, and no further cess should be imposed where an independent body builder fits a body on a chassis on which cess has already been paid, since applying the Tariff Act levy twice would exceed the maximum rate permitted under the IDR Act, 1951.
