<h1>CBEC mandates Pan Masala, Gutkha, and Chewing Tobacco manufacturers to submit detailed info by Sept 12, 2007, to curb duty evasion.</h1> The CBEC issued a circular requiring manufacturers of Pan Masala, Gutkha, and Chewing Tobacco to submit specific information by September 12, 2007, to address excise duty evasion. The circular outlines procedures for managing packing machines, shift operations, and input records. Current excise duties are set at 46.35% for Pan Masala and 67.98% for Gutkha. The effectiveness of these measures is questioned, given the high competition and previous failures of strict excise provisions.
