SSI Units Liable for Excise Duty on Branded Goods Manufacturing; No SSI Exemption for Labor-Based Production A discussion on a forum addressed whether a small-scale industrial (SSI) unit can perform labor jobs to produce finished products and charge labor fees. The query involved whether excise duty should be charged when the SSI unit manufactures branded goods using provided raw materials. It was clarified that the SSI unit cannot claim SSI exemption when producing branded goods for another entity. Excise duty applies to the manufacturing process, regardless of whether the goods are made on a labor basis or within a factory. Either the hiring company or the job worker must pay the duty.
