Yes, if you intent to pass on the CENVAT credit , then it is required. However, it is always be safer side to inform the Concerned Authority in advance about the activities you intend to indulge your self.

Earlier Reply in respect of Trading of Duty paid Input intend to sale in register premises but Reg. Manufacturer intend to trad non cenvatable goods than Earlier, permission was required to trade from the manufacturing premises. Now no such permission is required. Under common law system, everything is allowed unless until it is prohibited by law. Whatever has not been prohibited by law is permissible in law. There is no law prohibiting you from trading from manufacturing premises. Thus trading for manufacturing premise is permissible. However I would like to invite kind attention to the provision of T. N. No. 128/2003  In  Para 2 of the T. N. that a manufacture can bring duty paid goods for trading in his factory without the permission of the Central Excise Department provided that similar or identical goods are not manufactured in his own factory. I hope you got your solution from this answer.

Mr. Kirthi Kumar Purohit,

Trading is permissible o .k. but the important question is the excise duty charged on such trading invoice, will the CENVAT credit be available to the buyer who purchases goods from us. In other words, can we pass on CENVAT Credit on a Trading Invoice when we are not Registered as Trader in Excise Department ? 

One more question related to this is that we are Manufacturing autoparts for Automobile Manufacturers. We buy certain Bought Out Parts (BOPs) which are fitted into auto parts manufactured by us. At times Automobile manufactures ask us to provide these BOPs also. We raise invoice for these BOPs and pass on CENVAT credit. Is this in order if we are not registered as trader in view fact that supplying BOPs in not our main business but we have do it because of business compulsion.

I will be happy is Mr. Khatri Also posts his comments on this.

Regards

First, You can not pass cenvat on BOPs without Registration As a Dealer,

Second, When you are use BOPs as a componant of other Goods; this activities amount to manufacture thus said goods value considared in total turnover.

AI Summary

Manufacturers Need Excise Registration to Pass CENVAT Credit on Bought-Out Parts; Inform Authorities for Trading Activities A manufacturing company inquired about the eligibility and requirements for engaging in trading activities involving CPVC fittings, specifically regarding permissions or registration with the Excise Department. Respondents clarified that while trading from manufacturing premises is permissible without specific permission, it is crucial to inform authorities if intending to pass on CENVAT credit. Additionally, a company cannot pass on CENVAT credit for bought-out parts (BOPs) without being registered as a dealer. When BOPs are used as components in manufacturing, they contribute to the total turnover, requiring proper registration and compliance with excise regulations.
