We have four manufacturing unit having different excise registration (A, B, C, D). We have conman (SAP) system for accounting of all four units. My query is: we wish to use one serial no to issue excisable invoice for all locations. For eg . 1400001 – 1450000. It may happened that No. 1400001 will allocate to unit A automatically, 1400002 will be allocate to unit C 1400003 will be allocate to B etc.
Is this in line with law?
Companies Must Use Separate Serial Numbers for Excise Invoices Per Manufacturing Unit as Required by Rule 11 A query was raised about using a single serial number series for excise invoices across four manufacturing units with different excise registrations. The responses indicated that this practice is not permitted under Central Excise Rules. Rule 11 requires each unit to have independent serial numbers for invoices. It was suggested that the company's software could be customized to generate serial numbers using registration numbers as codes for each factory. Additionally, it was noted that invoices must be serially numbered and reported to the Range Office, and there are no precedents for using a common series across multiple units. (AI Summary)
