The cost of dies should be amortized where such dies have been provided free of cost. However, in case of job work, where the raw material is being supplied by the principal manufacture who has supplied the dies and liable to pay excise duty on the goods received from the job worker after job working activity, such job worker may choose not to amortize the cost of dies.

I understand that you are manufacturing a die (as per the drawings of customer) and the same die is used by you in your factory for manufacture of number of jobs for the same customer. In such a circunstance, you need not to pay excise duty on die manufactured in your factory and used within the same factory of production, for manufacturing other excisable goods. Since you will have an agreed contract price with the customer for FG being sold by you, you need to duty onky on such sale price. In the cases where the goods manufactured are not sold by you, you need to amortise the cost of Die, dependinmg upon it usage life.

AI Summary

Dies amortisation: when dies are provided free, their cost must be amortized; job workers may be exempt in supply cases. Dies provided free must have their cost amortized. In job-work arrangements where the principal supplies dies and remains liable for excise on goods returned, the job worker may choose not to amortize die cost. When a die is made and used within the same factory and finished goods are sold at an agreed price, excise is payable on the sale price; if goods are not sold, die cost must be amortized over its useful life.
