Sir,

The department will go by physical stock. If the physical stock is less than the book stock then department will allege that the differential stock had been cleared clandestinely without payment of duty. You have to prove that there is no clandestine removal of the excess stock. Whatever reasons are given by you, you have support the reasons with documentary evidence. Otherwise you have pay not only the duty and also to pay penalty equal to duty payable on excess stock.

If difference can be reconciled based on Daily Stock Account maintained, suggested to adjust the same in the upcoming ER-1 under intimation to department.

Sir,

First find out how the difference between the physical stock and R.G. 1 stock occurred. The write a detailed letter to the Range officer explaining the reason for the difference and intimate that you going to correct the difference from E.R.1 filed for the next month. I would like you to send me detailed reasons for the difference between physical and R.G. 1 stock. Then I can give a detailed reply to you.

Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot sir, i am really appreciated to you,i ma giving following reason it may accountable to mismatch stock for RG-1 and physical.

1 ) one is weighing balance difference,i.e. we are taking weigh on weighing machine that is capacity maximum 100 kg while arising scrap and at the time scrap clearance we used 'DHARAM KATA' that is the reason differences come out and since we started business we could not reconcile.

2) second is regarding some commodity we return back from scrap yard,like plastic pallet,been, etc

i ma very sure these are accountable for mismatch stock, now kindly request to you give proper reply so that matter will resolve.

Sir,

Please explain to the Department (Range officer) that the error is due weighing machine used by you and the correct weight of the scrap is as per 'DHARAM KATA'. Hence the difference. Regarding return back from scrap yard you explain the same to the Range officer. and intimate him that the correct stock of scrap will be reflected in the monthly return pertaining to October 2015.

Sir, a mistake is a mistake.

Best way out is to prepare an invoice for excess scrap and pay excise duty thereon on such excess scrap balance.

Dear Pradip,

Using faulted weighing scale is an offence under Legal Metrology Act, 2009 read with Rules made there under. Notice can be issued to your directors in this regard and LM Department can impose hefty penalty Please get it calibrated from the Jurisdictional Legal Metrology Department.

AI Summary

Physical stock supremacy: reconcile ER-1 scrap variances or face duty and penalty exposure without documentary proof. Department relies on physical stock; excess book stock in ER-1 may be treated as clandestine removal attracting duty and penalty unless the assessee proves otherwise with documentary evidence. Identify and document causes of discrepancy (weighing-method differences, returns from scrap yard), secure calibration and Legal Metrology records if relevant, write to the Range officer explaining reasons and notify intent to correct the next ER-1. If daily stock accounts reconcile, adjust in the upcoming ER-1 with intimation. Alternatively, consider invoicing and paying duty on excess to mitigate exposure.
