Perfume Used in Incense Sticks: Excise Duty Exemption Query and Cost-Reduction Tips for Manufacturers A query was raised about whether perfume used in the manufacturing of incense sticks (Agarbatti) is exempt from excise duty, as the perfume producer is charging a 12.36% excise duty. The response suggested procuring inputs from Small Scale Industries (SSI) units that have not exceeded the 1.5 crore limit to reduce costs. Additionally, it was advised that excise duty exemption could be obtained if the final product is exported. (AI Summary)
