AI Summary

Installation Certificate Required for EPCG Machines: Customs Notification No. 102/2009 Outlines Excise Department and Chartered Engineer Roles A discussion on a forum addresses whether an installation certificate from the Central Excise Department is required for a machine procured under the EPCG scheme. The consensus is that an installation certificate from the jurisdictional Assistant or Deputy Commissioner of Central Excise is necessary within six months of installation, as per Customs Notification No. 102/2009. A certificate from a chartered engineer is only needed if the assessee is not registered with Excise or for imported spares. If the Excise Department does not issue the certificate within 30 days of application, installation is assumed.
