Excise Duty Issue: Higher Price Transfers to Depot Without MRP May Require Institutional Certificates or Face Penalties. A query was raised regarding the excise duty on Item A, which is transferred to a depot at a price higher than its MRP after abatement and sold to institutional buyers without an MRP. The excise authorities are requesting institutional certificates, and the concern is about the consequences if these certificates cannot be provided. Responses indicate that the company may need to pay differential duty with interest and penalty if the certificates are not furnished. However, under the Legal Metrology Act, MRP is not required for sales to institutional buyers, and the buyer's details on invoices should suffice for verification. (AI Summary)
