It will be decided by the Authority concerned considering the value of the machine and other factors.

dear Sir .

The value of he machine is approximately INR:- 1,21,40000.

The total IGST :- 18 percent and approximately customs :- 9 percent .

If the EPCG is issued with both considering IGST and customs i.e 27 percent .

The Bank guarantee amount will be either 100 percent of 27 percent or 15 percent of 27 percent

We are already manufacturer exporter but do not have central excise number and are exporting since last 9 months only .
