The Hindu Business Line : CBEC bid to ease movement of goods to textile job workers

KEEN on ensuring smooth flow of trade in the domestic textile industry, the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has advised its excise commissioners to take a lenient view of any bonafide technical and procedural mistakes in the movement of goods to job workers.

Excise rules permit a person to get specified textile and textile articles manufactured on a job-work basis so long as certain conditions and procedures are met.

A manufacturer is required to send the goods for job work to a job worker under a document that has been described under the excise rules.

The rules also specify the information required to be furnished in the document used for the movement of goods to the job workers.

The CBEC has now asked the excise commissioners to examine the local problems of the industry and accept a simplified document for movement of goods to job workers as long as it contains the required details.

The excise commissioners have also been advised to accept mentioning of non-standard units of quantity, which are predominantly followed by trade, so long as the quantity of goods are accounted satisfactorily.

This board directive comes in response to the representation received from trade and industry, which had demanded that the document prescribed for the purpose of movement of goods for job work could be suitably simplified taking into account the convenience of the trade and the local factors.

It had also represented that very often, non-standard quantity of units is used for movement of goods based on tradition and such quantity may be accepted by the department as long as the quantity of goods is properly accounted.
