Dear Sir,
Can we remove the excisable goods from the factory on the Next day of the invoice date( In that case the date and time of removal on the invoice will be shown as actual date of dispatch).Is there any compulsion in the excise Law to remove the goods on the same day invoice is made.
e.g
goods are invoiced on 26/09/11 . The stock is redueced accordingly in the computerised system.
Goods are physically dispatched on 27/09/11 with the date and time of removal shown in the invoice as 27/09/11 and date of preparation is shown as 26/09/11
Debate on Dispatching Excisable Goods: Can Invoices Reflect a Later Dispatch Date? Legal Basis Sought in Chapter 4 Part I, para 12.1. A discussion on a forum addressed whether excisable goods can be dispatched the day after the invoice date, with the invoice reflecting the actual dispatch date. Participants debated if excise law mandates same-day dispatch as invoicing. One participant suggested notifying the Central Excise and VAT Departments if dispatch is delayed. Another noted there is generally no issue if the invoice accurately reflects the removal date. It was mentioned that there might be a 24-hour window for dispatch post-invoice printing, but clarification on the legal basis for this timeframe was sought, with some referencing Chapter 4 Part I, para 12.1.
