CHANGES IN CENVAT CREDIT (2010-2011)
In Central Excise, partial roll back of the rate of duties and enhancement of
standard rate on all non petroleum products from 8 percent to 10 percent ad
valorem is on expected lines. However, hike in duties on petroleum and diesel will
add to already high inflation and this would have been avoided, given the global
crude petroleum prices.
The rates of duty on cement have also been revised upwards which will make
housing costlier. The cost of construction will shoot up owing to the fact that 40-50
percent of cost comprises of material ie, cement and steel. A new cess called 'clean
energy cess' is being levied on coal, lignite and peat and this cess will be levied and
collected as an excise duty from coal mines. For imported coal, cess will be
charged as CVD. The duties in respect of gold and silver jewellery have also been
hiked.
So far as SSI sector is concerned, there is some relief as payment of duties will
now be on a quarterly basis as against monthly deposit. Secondly, full credit of
cenvat on capital goods will be allowed in one installment in the year of receipt of
capital goods in the factory as against present 50 percent. These changes would be
effective from 1 April 2010.

CLEAN ENEGRY CESS: Clean Energy Cess is being imposed on coal, lignite
and peat produced

such goods.

used as packing material.

INDUSTRY!
With most of the market signals remaining positive with Union Budget 2010-11,
consumer is happy being at the center stage of consumption story and is in a better
position than a year ago. However, challenges remain. Read on to know what is in
platter for the SMEs and franchise industry… Franchise industry has been looking
forward several regulatory as well as policy reforms to facilitates its growth. A
positive GST outlook by government and rise in threshold for tax compliances has
been seen as a very positive move by the franchise industry. However the long
impending demand of abolishing dual taxation on the franchise services has been
clearly ignored by the policy makers. Presently both service tax and VAT are
imposed upon the franchise services, which distort the franchise model completely.
Moreover, service tax on rental proceed further makes deters the profitable
feasibility. In all it has been the budget has been moderately favorable for the
franchise industry.

and white for the franchise industry he further explains detail implications.

customs is granted to mobile phones, watches and garments imported in pre-
