Hi Ramesh
You can ship deemed exports to any customers in possession of a deemed export license without paying any basic excise duty, but only if the goods are accompanied by an ARE-3 document.
Activities
Customizing
Carry out the IMG activities in Customizing for Logistics – General, under Tax on Goods Movements --- India -Business Transactions- Exports Under Excise Regulations ---Deemed Exports and -- Printouts of ARE Documents.
Master Data
Enter your customers' deemed export licenses in the system.
Day-to-Day Activities
In order to qualify for an exemption from excise duty, all deemed exports must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork, including an ARE-3 document, and you must complete the deemed export within the rewarehousing period. To process and track ARE-3s, use the ARE Documents functions, following the process described under ARE-3 Processing.
You can only issue an ARE-3 with reference to a customer's license. The system automatically keeps track of the license balance.
There are two ad-hoc reports that you can use for tracking licenses and ARE-3s: Deemed Export License Summary and Aging Analysis for ARE Documents.
Export Sales
Export sale and sale in the course of export – The term ‘Export sale’ is not used in the Act. Generally, ‘export sale’ means direct exports. However, the term ‘sale during export’ is much broader than ‘export sale’. ‘Sale during export’ includes not only direct exports, but also (a) Sale by transfer of documents after goods cross customs frontier (b) Penultimate sale for export (c) Export with help of agent.
A sale or purchase of goods is deemed to be in course of export of the goods out of the territory of India, only if (a) the sale or purchase either occasions such export or (b) is effected by a transfer of documents of title to goods after the goods have crossed the customs frontiers of India. Section 5(3) states that notwithstanding provisions of section 5(1), last sale or purchase of goods preceding the sale or purchase occasioning the export of those goods out of territory of India shall also be deemed to be in the course of such export, if such last sale or purchase took place after, and was for the purpose of complying with, the arrangement or order for or in relation to such export.
Depot Sales
You may sell finished goods directly from the place of manufacture, as described under Sales from Factories, or you may first ship them to a separate location for storage (a depot), from where you will sell them. The second procedure is described here.
Sales from depots are handled differently from sales from factories because of excise law: Excise duty is payable when you send the goods from the factory to the depot, but it is not levied again when you sell the goods.
Sometimes when you make a final sale of goods from a depot, price escalations could have happened with retrospective effect. In such scenarios you need to pay the extra excise duty at the factory using an A Certificate. You need to register the A certificate details in the RG 23D register and the excise recovered from the customer.
