[Surender Gupta]

Though not specifically provided in the excise law. But, you must be vigilant. Suppose the excise department put an allegation that you have not received any material but arranged fake documents, they would have strong evidence against you if vehicle number would mismatch. Therefore, merely a vigilance would prevent such type of risks. The purpose of putting details of vehicle to ensure that fake and bogus entries in excise records.

[Rama Krishana]

I agree with the view of Mr. Gupta that you should be vigilant enough to ensure that correct number of vehicle is mentioned in the Invoice or consignment note while dispatching the material from your factory premises.

AI Summary

Duty to check vehicle number ensures vigilance to prevent fake excise entries and reduces evidentiary risk. Duty to verify vehicle identification is a practical compliance measure: ensure correct vehicle numbers on invoices or consignment notes before dispatch to avoid evidentiary risk from alleged fabricated receipts or bogus excise entries; this is an obligation of vigilance rather than a statutory transport authority power.
