Excsie RC Surrender same month

[venkat eswaran]

Dear All,

We would like to surrender our Excise RC this month since close of the unit. We have paid PLA also. But while filing ER1 return for Dec-15 the error is coming not accepting the Return.

Whether Dec-15 Return cannot be filed in December itself? Or we have wait till Jan 1 to file return and surrender RC?

Without filing ER1 RC surrender also not possible i think

What we will do at this situation?

[KASTURI SETHI]

File ER I return after 31.12.2015 and not before.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

It cannot be done unless the period of December month is closed. The command is feeded in the system which accepts return.

[YAGAY and SUN]

Wait till 31-12-2015 and after that submit the return. Then online surrender the C,E, Registration Certificate. Department may also conduct audit for material period for determining the correctness of returns and records maintained by you.

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

It is better to surrender the registration certificate after filing the return.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Now you should try.

AI Summary

Surrender of registration certificate requires filing the month's ER1 return after period closure before online surrender can proceed.
The online system requires ER1 return filing only after the accounting period is closed; taxpayers must file the ER1 for the month after period end and file returns before initiating online surrender of the registration certificate, and payment to PLA does not replace the filing obligation.
