Necessity of RD 23 D

[Asked by Guest]

Do we still need to maintain RD 23 D as the cenvat rules 2002 dont mention anything about rule 57

[Surender Gupta]

There is need to maintain RG 23D register. However, First Stage or Second Stage Dealer is required to maintain proper records for receipt and supply of the goods on which incidance of excise duty has been passed. For this purpose, in general, old format of RG23D register is being maintained. You may maintain your own records / register having all the having all the particulars.

The RG 23D for dealer is not mandatory. However since the provision relates to maintenance of a consignment wise register for excisable goods for which invoices are issued, it maybe maintained in your own form but containing the information required. Cenvat Credit Rules 2004 is in vogue now.

AI Summary

Recordkeeping requirement: maintain consignment-wise RD 23D-style records for excisable goods though format may be flexible.
Maintenance of the RD 23D register is treated as a recordkeeping requirement rather than a mandatory prescribed template: dealers must keep consignment-wise receipt and supply records and invoice documentation for excisable goods, and may retain these particulars in an alternative register or format while Cenvat Credit Rules remain operative.
