Material for job work

[palaniappan thirukalathiappan]

Dear All,

Please clarify me weather any permission is required from Central Excise for sending out material and bringing back to the original unit or simple intimation will do.  Further i would like to know basic differences between 16A, 16B, 16C of Central Excise Rules where exactly applicability of the above rules will fall.

Thanks & Regards

Sending materials for jobwork may be effected either by removal under Rule 4(5)(a) of the CENVAT Credit Rules or by following the Notification No. 214/86 procedure; permission from the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner or Commissioner can be obtained if required. Rules 16(1), 16(2) and 16(3) govern bringing back duty paid final goods for repair, reconditioning or similar processes: Rule 16(1) permits return as inputs with entitlement to CENVAT credit, Rule 16(2) mandates reversal of credit where the process is not manufacture, and Rule 16(3) allows the Commissioner to grant relief where compliance is difficult.
