In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 5A of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944), the Central Government being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby exempts all items of machinery, including prime movers.

the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944), the Central Government, being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby makes the following further amendments in the notification of the Government of India, in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), No. 6/2002-Central Excise, dated the 1st March, 2002
Whereas the Central Government is satisfied that according to a practice that was generally prevalent regarding levy of duty of excise (including non-levy thereof) under section 3 of the Central Excise Act, 1944 ( 1 of 1944 ) (hereinafter referred to as the said Act), the duty of excise on “Cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted” and “Cocoa shells, husks, skins and other cocoa waste”, falling under Chapter 18 of the First Schedule to the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985

Yes. As discussed supra. A return of production, clearance and duty paid in the prescribed manner, is a statutory requirement. In the absence of a specific reference in Section 32E to ER1/ER3 i.e. monthly/quarterly returns prescribed under Rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, since the ‘declaration’ filed by a small scale manufacturer also contains the basic particulars of estimated production and clearances though not the duty paid, as the product is totally exempt, and keeps the Department aware of the bona fide existence of the applicant, the yearly declaration can be deemed to serve the purpose of ‘return’, in so far as Sec. 32E(1) of the Central Excise Act is concerned.
