AI Summary

Understanding Excise Control Code: No Difference Between Codes Ending in 'XD', 'ED', 'XM', 'EM' Explained. A forum participant inquired about the difference between two types of Excise Control Code (ECC) numbers, specifically those ending in 'XD' and 'ED,' and 'XM' and 'EM.' The ECC is a PAN-based 15-digit alphanumeric registration number for Central Excise assessees in India. A respondent stated there is no difference between the codes. The original poster questioned the change in nomenclature, citing an example of a company whose ECC number changed from 'XD004' to 'ED004,' and asked if it relates to multinational subsidiaries trading in India.
