Antique handicrafts items export - No routine references
Show AI Summary
Avoid routine statutory referrals for handicraft exports; customs must assess allied-law requirements and strengthen staff training.
Customs must avoid routine referrals of export consignments for no objection where the allied Acts do not require it; unnecessary referrals have delayed shipments. The Board directs immediate training of customs staff in the legal aspects of the allied Acts governing cultural property and wildlife, using local statutory officials and incorporating such training into the national customs academy curriculum to ensure accurate assessment and efficient clearance.
Interest Tax Act-Clarification with respect to taxability of interest from debentures.
Show AI Summary
Interest tax inclusion: interest on debentures now subject to interest-tax under the Act's widened definition by the revised Act
The present section 2(7) of the Interest-tax Act adopts a broader definition of interest and does not retain the former explicit exclusion for amounts chargeable under the Income-tax Act as 'Interest on Securities'; accordingly interest on debentures, bonds and securities is exigible to interest-tax and officers must apply this construction in their jurisdictions.
100% EOUs closure/failure to export - Demand of duty
Show AI Summary
Customs duty recovery: failure to meet export obligation permits show cause notice and recovery after regulator's conclusion.
Liability for customs duty on imports by 100% EOUs arises when the unit is debonded or when conditions of the exemption notification, notably the export obligation, are violated. The competent authority's finding that export obligations are unmet permits issuance of a show cause notice for duty recovery. Customs should notify the Development Commissioner if an EOU ceases or fails to commence production or export, may issue a show cause notice concurrently with the Commissioner's action, and should confirm duty demands only after the Development Commissioner reaches a definite conclusion.
Exclusion of cases from sample scrutiny.
Show AI Summary
Exclusion from sample scrutiny where income rises substantially and tax is paid before filing, subject to income ceilings.
Exclusion from sample scrutiny applies where current year total income is at least thirty percent higher than the prior year, both years' incomes exceed the basic exemption limit, the prior year's total income does not exceed the prescribed upper limit, and taxes for the current year are fully paid before filing; the exclusion is inapplicable to cases in the compulsory scrutiny basket.
Maintainance of books of accounts.
Show AI Summary
Maintenance of books of accounts: loose-sheet records that enable manipulation may attract penalty and prosecution under tax law.
Section 44AA requires proper maintenance of books of accounts; while computerized daily records may be kept in loose sheets and bound periodically, loose-sheet recordkeeping used solely to enable subsequent manipulation to evade tax is objectionable. During surveys and searches officials should scrutinise record form and, where loose records are deliberately maintained to facilitate tax evasion, initiate penalty proceedings and consider criminal prosecution as deterrent action.
VBAL/QBAL - Export Declarations - Further clarifications
Show AI Summary
Modvat certificate requirement clarified: when not needed, SSI declaration and DEEC book logging govern export obligation discharge.
A Modvat non availment certificate is unnecessary for exports that are non excisable, unconditionally exempt, or non modvatable. Exports from SSI units operating under the exemption notification require a declaration with the Shipping Bill and may substitute an attested copy of the SSI declaration for the AR 4; SSI units opting for Modvat remain subject to AR 4 procedures. Exporters of goods eligible for concessions under the provisions formerly in Rules 191 A/191 B must produce certificates of non availment, and such certificates are required at DEEC Book logging to enable accounting towards export obligation.

The circular revises fishing pass validity and renewal periodicity: non mechanised and mechanised fishing vessels require renewal six months from issue, while fishing trawlers require renewal three months from issue, superseding prior instructions. Administrative offices must issue immediate implementation directions, endeavour to complete seasonal pass renewals on the same day they are requested to avoid delay, and undertake full verification at renewal.
Reversal of Modvat Credit by Exporters
Show AI Summary
Reversal of Modvat credit by exporters permitted, subject to input output norms when quantification impossible and departmental powers retained.
Exporters may reverse Modvat credit themselves and such self-reversal will not be objected to; where input credit cannot be precisely quantified, reversal may be based on input output norms approved by the commerce ministry. A separate record of reversals by exporters should be maintained, and departmental legal powers to take further action remain unaffected.

Clarification that Modvat credit cannot be claimed without possession of the original or duplicate 52A/57G invoice and that registration is valid only for premises specified in the registration certificate; where premises requirements are met, no penal action need be taken for past periods and Modvat credit need not be reversed if both original and duplicate invoices are available and defaced by the jurisdictional Range Superintendent.

Under Rule 13(1)(b), dutiable intermediate goods and packaging materials may be removed duty-free for manufacture-in-bond of export goods, and packing material made in bond and exported with the goods is not liable to excise duty, subject to terms and conditions set by the Collector.
Compounding of offence u/s 279(2) of I.T. Act- exercise of power
Show AI Summary
Compounding authority under the Income Tax Act restricted; Commissioners cannot compound offences, only Chief Commissioners or Director Generals may.
Amendments to section 279(2) removed compounding power from Commissioners of Income-tax and concentrated it in the Chief Commissioner and the Director General; Commissioners therefore have no jurisdiction to compound offences under that provision. Chief Commissioners and Commissioners must observe this limitation when dealing with compounding requests and apply the Board's compounding guidelines dated 30/09/1994, with Chief Commissioners responsible for informing subordinate Commissioners of the correct allocation of authority.
Compounding of offences.
Show AI Summary
Compounding of offences: only Chief Commissioner or Director General may compound, under Section 279(2), following Board guidelines.
Compounding of offences is confined to senior authorities: Commissioners no longer have power to compound; only the Chief Commissioner or the Director General may compound offences, and all compounding requests must follow the Board's procedural guidelines and be communicated to subordinate Commissioners by Chief Commissioners.

Export of commercial goods as baggage permitted when purchased with foreign exchange and supported by proof.
Export of commercial goods in passenger baggage is allowed provided the passenger produces proof of purchase with foreign exchange showing the goods were procured against foreign currency brought into India; suspected large-scale abuse should be reported to the Board for further action.
EOUs/EPZ/EHTP/ESTP Units - Manufacture of non-excisable goods - No recourse to Exemption Notification No. 2/95-CE dt. 4.1.95
Show AI Summary
Duty on DTA clearance: non-excisable goods from EOUs/EPZs attract deemed customs duty, not excise exemption.
Non-excisable goods produced or processed in 100% export-oriented units cleared to the domestic tariff area must be assessed to customs duty on a deemed-imports basis equal to the duty that would be leviable if the article were imported; central excise exemption notifications and excise duty concessions do not apply to such clearances. This rule applies across EOU/EPZ/EHTP/STP schemes where the clause is present, and customs/central excise collectors must review assessments to ensure compliance.
