AI Summary

No Prior Notification Needed for Self-Sealing Under Current Excise Guidelines; Submit ARE-1 Copies Within 24 Hours. A user inquired whether it is necessary to notify the superintendent before conducting self-sealing at a factory under the Central Excise Self Removal Procedure (SRP). Respondents clarified that prior intimation is not required under the current guidelines, as only the triplicate and quadruplicate copies of ARE-1 need to be submitted to the Range Office within 24 hours after goods removal. However, an older circular from 1998 suggests prior intimation might be necessary, though it is outdated and not included in the current CBEC Manual. One respondent advised notifying the superintendent and obtaining a signature on the ARE-1 for additional assurance.
