AI Summary

Excise duty exemption: procure perfume inputs from small-scale suppliers below the registration threshold or use export-based exemption.
The core operative advice is that to avoid excise charged on perfume used as input for agarbatti manufacturing, procure the perfume from small-scale manufacturers below the excise registration threshold so they do not charge excise, or rely on excise exemption available when the final agarbatti product is exported.
