Supplies made from 100% EOU to EPCG licence holder in DTA – clarification

May 13, 2005 616 Views 0 comment Print

The matter has been considered in consultation with Central Board of Excise & Customs. It is, accordingly, clarified that since EPCG Scheme is implemented through end use based notifications, the goods being cleared from an EOU under EPCG Scheme would attract a Central Excise Duty equal to aggregate of effective customs duty leviable on like goods imported i.e. Duty calculated after applying end use based notification as per circular dated 15.9.1994 issued from CBEC F.No.305/83/94-FTT. Therefore, EOUs can clear goods under EPCG licence at concessional rate of duty and there is no requirement for any other separate exemption notification in this regard.
