Commissioner of Central Excise vs M/S.

We are constrained to observe that the existing guidelines are followed more in breach, resulting in avoidable allegations of malafides etc on the part of the officers concerned.

In a relief to the garment industry, the government today said no excise duty will be imposed on uniforms and items like towels if they merely bear logo of the institution or company they are made for. .Such products would not merit treatment as branded products merely because the name of the school, institution or company or their logo is either printed, embroidered or etched on them,’the revenue department said.
Circular No. 947/08/2011-CX – On the issue of applicability of excise duty on uniforms or made-up articles like quilt, blankets, towels, linen etc bearing the name or logo of a school, security agency, company, hotel or airline etc., it is clarified that such products would not merit treatment as ‘branded’ products merely because the name of the school, institution or company or their logo is either printed, embroidered or etched on them. This is equally true of made ups such as towels, linen etc bearing the name of a hotel, restaurant or airlines. In all these cases, there is no nexus between such a name or logo & the product at the time of its sale which is essential ingredient in the definition of the term ‘brand name’. Unless such garments/made- ups also bear a brand name in addition to the name or logo of the school, security agency, hotels, airlines and company, such goods would not attract the excise duty.
