Excise Duty Payment on Job Work done for Solar Project

[Paresh Prajapati]

Dear Sir,

We at Emco Ltd has done job work (Galvanising) for steel column supplied by XYZ Ltd.

For the above job work done material, XYZ Ltd has obtained certificate from Ministery of New and Renewable energy and from Excise department under notification no. 15/2010 & 26/2012 for clearing goods with NIL rate of excise duty.

Emco has done galvanising job work for XYZ Ltd and XYZ Ltd is clearing this good without payment of Excise duty to Moris Energy Ltd for initial set up of Solar Project.

Now, my question is that, whether Job Worker (EMCO Ltd) is liable to pay Excise duty as XYZ Ltd has cleared good without payment of duty.

All, are requested to guide me on this issue as it is very urgent.
