Supplier of Raw Material is not a manufacturer- A raw material supplier is not a manufacturer since s/he/it does not carry out any manufacturing activities. Where a company outsources a job to a 3rd party (job worker) for converting a raw material into an excisable product, the 3rd party, and not the company, is considered as the manufacturer.
