It is same i.e. on quarterly basis. No changes in the Budget on this aspect.

Noti. No. 19/2014 does not relate to this issue. Please do verify at your end.

Well, you were referring to Noti. No. 19/2004 (N.T.). This notification is not applicable in your case. Duty by SSI to be paid on quarterly basis only.

AI Summary

SSI units continue to discharge excise duty on a quarterly basis; there is no change to the payment periodicity from the cited budget measures and the notification referenced by the inquirer is not applicable to alter this quarterly payment obligation.
