Excise duty on ready-to-eat non veg products hinges on product classification; VAT applies to ready to eat sales.
Applicability of excise duty depends on classification and whether the party is a manufacturer or merely a dealer; classification cited is 16010000 for meat preparations indicating potential excisability, but respondents state dealers ordinarily are not liable for excise. Sales of ready-to-eat food packets attract value added tax, with state-specific VAT notifications (including a Haryana link) and Notification No. 12/2012-CE (Serial No. 12) cited as relevant.
