Registration of importers - ACES ready
AS per Notification No. 8/2014-CENT dated 28.2.2014, Rule 9 of the Central Excise Rules 2002 was amended to make it mandatory for an importer who issues an invoice on which CENVAT Credit can be taken, to get registered. By Notification No. 10/2014-CENT dated 28.2.2014, "Importer" was included in the Application Form for Registration. These provisions came into force with effect from 1.4.2014.
Now ACES informs that necessary modifications have been made in Form A-1 to enable registration of 'Importers' as a separate category of Registrants in Central Excise.
