(3) TRADE PERSON IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TPIN)
In order to operate E-filing System, the Manufacturer or
Service Provider, should obtain a TPIN (Trade Person
Identification Number), by making an Application, to the
Range Office, with a copy to the Divisional Office &
generate his User’s Name & Password, through the
Automation of Central Excise and Service Tax (aces)
System and then open the required Return Format, On-
line fill it & file it.
(4) TARIFF & NON-TARIFF NOTIFICATIONS
You are required to clear your Finished Excisable Goods,
under various circumstances, under different provisions
of the Central Excise Law & the Tariff Notifications &
Non-tariff Notifications. The aces System, demands from
you, the relevant Tariff or Non-tariff Notification Number
& Serial Entry Number, in the Table, to a given or chosen
Notification, under which the Finished Excisable Goods,
have been cleared by you, from your Factory, in the
Previous Month or Quarter. If, you fail to provide the
correct Tariff or Non-tariff Notification Number & Date,
along with the Serial Entry Number, if any, for the said
Excisable Goods, as appearing in the given or chosen
E-filing of Excise Returns & Tariff/ Non-tariff Notification No. & Serial Entry No.

Tariff or Non-tariff Notification Number, the aces System,
does not permit you to proceed further and you get
stuck-up, resulting into failure in E-filing of the Return.
2. CENTRAL EXCISE TARIFF NOTIFICATIONS
(1) TARIFF NOTIFICATION, COVERING A SINGLE EXCISABLE
GOODS – NO SERIAL ENTRY NUMBER
Tariff Notifications, in general, are those which fix the
Central Excise Duty Rate, for your Finished Excisable
Goods. If, a given Tariff Notification, chosen by you, for
Assessment of your Finished Excisable Goods, contains a
single Excisable Goods, such a Tariff Notification, cannot
have Serial Entry Number of the Excisable Goods &
therefore, in such a case, after citing the Tariff
Notification Number & Date, for the Serial Entry Number,
you have to insert the expression “-” or “Nil”, whichever,
is acceptable to the aces System.
(2) TARIFF NOTIFICATION, COVERING MULTIPLE EXCISABLE
GOODS, WITH SERIAL ENTRY NUMBERS
However, if, a given Tariff Notification, at a time,
declares the Central Excise Duty Rates, for a number of
Excisable Goods, it may have a Table, containing various
Excisable Goods, posted by the Central Government, at
different Serial Entry Numbers. Therefore, in such a
case, after citing the Tariff Notification Number & Date,
E-filing of Excise Returns & Tariff/ Non-tariff Notification No. & Serial Entry No.

as applicable in your case, in the Column of the Serial
Entry Number, you should insert, in the aces System, the
correct Serial Entry Number, at which the said Excisable
Goods, have been posted in the Table, to the chosen
Tariff Notification.
Some of the most popular Tariff Notifications, duly up-
dated, have been provided in my NEWS ITEM NO.,
45/2009-2011, DATED 26TH FEBRUARY, 2010, sent
to you, on 27th February, 2010, after the Union Budget,
2010-2011.
3. CENTRAL EXCISE NON-TARIFF NOTIFICATIONS
(1) NON-TARIFF CENTRAL EXCISE NOTIFICATIONS – MEANS
PROCEDURAL NOTIFICATIONS
In general, Non-tariff Notifications, are those which
direct you to clear your Finished Excisable Goods, either
on payment of Central Excise Duty or without payment
of Central Excise Duty, by strictly following a Specific
Procedure, prescribed under the given Non-tariff
Notification.
(2) NON-TARIFF CENTRAL EXCISE NOTIFICATIONS – MAY
REQUIRE PAYMENT OF CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY BUT WITH
SPECIFIED PROCEDURE
For example, when you clear or export your Finished
Excisable Goods, to Nepal or Bhutan and if, the
payment, is received or intended to be received by you,
E-filing of Excise Returns & Tariff/ Non-tariff Notification No. & Serial Entry No.

from the Nepalese or Bhutanese Buyer, in Indian
Rupees, you have to strictly follow the very Specific
Procedure of Sealing of the Export Consignment, by the
Central Excise Officer only & clearance of the Export
Consignment, under specially prescribed Nepal Invoice,
on payment of applicable Central Excise Duty, without
any Rebate of such Central Excise Duty, as stipulated in
the Non-tariff Notification, 20/2004-C.E.(N.T.), dated 6-9-
2010. Therefore, under the aforestated mode of export
of Excisable Goods, at appropriate Column, in the Excise
Return, being filed under E-filing Procedure, you have to
incorporate, the abovementioned Non-tariff Notification
Number & Date but for Serial Entry Number, you have to
use the expression “-” or “Nil”, in the aces System. This
is in asmuch as, the said Non-tariff Notification, covers
“All Excisable Goods” and not only a few selected
Excisable Goods, to be exported to Nepal or Bhutan &
therefore, there was no necessity for the Central
Government to provide a Table & assign different Serial
Entry Numbers, for different Excisable Goods.
(3) CENTRAL EXCISE NON-TARIFF NOTIFICATIONS – MAY
PERMIT CLEARANCEOF EXCISABLE GOODS, WITHOUT
PAYMENT OF CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY BUT WITH
SPECIFIED PROCEDURE
Similarly, when you export your Finished Excisable
Goods, to a Foreign Country, other than Nepal or
Bhutan, without payment of Central Excise Duty, you

have to follow a very specific Procedure, prescribed in
the Non-tariff Notification, 42/2001-C.E.(N.T.), dated 26-
6-2001 of execution of UT-1 OR B-1 Bond/C.T.-1; Excise

Lading; Export within 6 Months & submission of Proof of
Export, etc., as prescribed under the said Non-tariff
Notification, 42/2001-C.E.(N.T.), dated 26-6-2001.
Therefore, under the aforestated mode of export of
Excisable Goods, at appropriate Column, in the Excise
Return, being filed under E-filing Procedure, you have to
incorporate, the abovementioned Non-tariff Notification
Number & Date but for Serial Entry Number, you have to
use the expression “-” or “Nil”, in the aces System. This
is in asmuch as, the said Non-tariff Notification, covers
“All Excisable Goods”, to be exported to any Country,
except to Nepal or Bhutan & therefore, there was no
necessity for the Central Government to provide a Table
& assign different Serial Entry Numbers, for different
Excisable Goods.
(4) CENTRAL EXCISE NON-TARIFF NOTIFICATIONS –
WHETHER CLEARANCE WITH OR WITHOUT PAYMENT OF
DUTY BUT WITH MANADATORY PROCEDURE

the said Non-tariff Notification, before & after the
clearance of the Excisable Goods, from your Factory.

It should also be noted that in respect of certain
Excisable Goods, while granting Concessional or Nil Rate
of Central Excise Duty, through a Tariff Notification,
where, the Central Government, has some doubts or
apprehensions of misuse of the Concession, granted
under the said Tariff Notification, the Central
Government, may prescribe certain Conditions &
Procedure, even in a given Tariff Notification but the
Non-tariff Notifications, are peculiar in the sense that

4. Under any of the above circumstances, as a SSI Unit, under the Central Excise Law, you can file Quarterly E.R.-3 Return only, on the 10th of the 4th Month, for the Quarter, just ended.

Do you know, as to, what is an Input Service, for you, on which you can take CENVAT Credit of Service Tax,
charged by your Service Provider? The answer is very simple. Any taxable Service, you take or procure,
as a Manufacturer, from a Service Provider, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR BUSINESS ACTIVITY OF PRODUCTION &
SALE OF YOUR FINISHED EXCISABLE GOODS, is your Input Service. Any taxable Service, you take or procure,
as a Service Provider, from another Service Provider, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR BUSINESS ACTIVITY OF PROVISION
OF YOUR TAXABLE OUTPUT SERVICES, is your Input Service. Any taxable Service, which is put into your Business Activity of Production & Sale of your Finished Goods or put into your Business Activity of provision of your taxable Output Service, is your Input Service and after you make full payment of Service Charges, without taking anybody’s advice, take the CENVAT Credit of Service Tax.
Only two Persons, can get CENVAT Credit of Service Tax, paid by them, on their Input Services, namely, (1) A Manufacturer of Excisable Goods & (2) A Service Provider, providing taxable Output Service. A Trader, cannot get CENVAT of Service Tax, paid by him & therefore, it is a cost for him.
You should also note that for taking CENVAT Credit of Central Excise Duty or Countervailing Duty of Customs (Old CVD) & Additional Duty of Customs (4% ADC or New CVD), paid on the Inputs or Raw Materials, you can take CENVAT Credit, immediately on receipt of the said Inputs or Raw Materials, in your Factory, even though, you have not made the payment of the Bill of your Supplier. This is also true, for Capital Goods, received in your Factory, subject to taking 50% CENVAT Credit, in the first Financial Year & balance 50%, in the subsequent Financial Year. However, the CENVAT Credit of 4% Additional Duty of Customs, paid on Imported Goods, is admissible instantly & full, by a single CENVAT Credit Entry. NOTE THAT A SERVICE PROVIDER, IS PRHIBITED FROM TAKING CENVAT CREDIT OF 4% ADDITIONAL DUTY OF CUSTOMS, PAID BY HIM, ON HIS IMPORTED INPUTS OR CAPITAL GOODS.
