Annual Return substitution for legacy excise periodic returns is recognized, but filing suspended pending GST rollout and formal circular.
The information previously required in ER-4, ER-5 and ER-6 is to be covered by the Annual Return under the Central Excise Rules as a substitute for ER-4/ER-5/ER-6/ER-7, supported by Circular No.1050/38/2016-CX. However, in view of the impending GST implementation the Board directed that no Annual Return need be filed for the transitional year and a formal circular confirming non-filing was to be issued.
