Dear Dipneet,

Generally, Excise Returns are required to be filed online by the 10th of every month. Excise duty is required to be deposited online by the 8:00 p.m. by 6th of every month.

As per Rule 8 of the central excise rules, 2002 the duty on the goods removed from the factory or warehouse shall be paid on the following dates:

1. By the 6^th day of the following for each month (except for the month of March) - for all assesses excluding SSI units who are availing SSI exemption.

2. By the 6^th day of the following month from the end of quarter - for the units availing SSI exemption.

3. By 31^st day of March for the month of March/Quarter ended March - for all assesses including SSI.

[YAGAY andSUN]

For the month of March/quarter ended in March, Service Tax and Excise Duty would be deposited by 31st March itself.

AI Summary

Excise payment deadlines require monthly online return filing and timely duty deposit, with quarterly and year end exceptions. Excise returns are to be filed online by the monthly due date and excise duty deposited online by the statutory early-month deadline following removal; units availing SSI exemption follow a quarterly payment schedule with duty payable by the early-month deadline after the quarter ends; duties and Service Tax for the month/quarter ending in March are payable by the fiscal year end deadline.
