Concerns relating to the quality of corporate governance system and the need to maintain its integrity and public accountability have resulted in a number of public interventions all over the world including the well known Cadbury Code (1992) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) of the UK and US respectively.

Some enquiries have been initiated by the departmental agencies seeking to demand duty on such articles of jewellery which are packed in boxes, pouches etc. bearing a trade name or brand name or mark. References have since been received from the Trade requesting for providing clarity on levy of excise duty on jewellery sold under a Brand name. The industry has drawn attention to condition no, 8 of notification no.5/2006-CE dated 01.03.06 which provides that the exemption shall not be applicable to articles of jewellery of heading no 7113 on which brand name or trade name is indelibly affixed or embossed on the articles of jewellery itself. It has been argued that accordingly only such jewellery where brand name or trade name is indelibly affixed or embossed on the articles of jewellery itself should attract excise duty and duty should not be charged on the articles which do not themselves bear such marking but which are packed in a jewellery box or pouch bearing a trade name or brand name or in whose case, the warranty card or certificate of quality issued at the time of sale bears a trade name or brand name.
