The Changes in duty structure under central excise / customs while announcing the Union Budget should be made effective from 1 st April. This will facilitate the trade in their smooth accounting , which will be useful in their return submission , audit reports & an easy cross verification of accounts & figures during Auditing.
Similarly , the proposed date of implementing GST i.e 1st August 2012 , should either be made effective from 1st July 2012 or from 1st October 2012 ,as new qtr starts from this date . This will also be helpful for the trade to submit their Commercial Tax / Excise Returns.
They always ignore small issues arises after those amendments / notifications.
From where do we get all related notifications mentioned above, to update it in our Excise invoices & Returns?
It was keep on brought to the notice , so many years, that any changes in the Duty structure should be given effect from 1 st of the subsequent month, so that we can avoid all confusions in preparing invoices, returns etc., . This aspect was continously ignored by the Finance ministers, for so many years.
