914/01/2010-CX, Dated: 16/02/2010

Subject: Beedi cess payable under the provisions of Section 3 of Beedi Workmen Welfare Cess Act-reg.
References have been received from Trade & Industry as well as field formations, regarding leviability of beedi cess on labelled as well as unlabelled beedis. It has been stated that Notification No. S-23011/1/79-M.V. dated 19.12.1981[G.S.R. No.669(E)] as amended by [G.S.R. No. 281(E)] dated 30.03.82, issued by the Ministry of Labour, provides that when cess has been collected on unlabelled beedis, no further cess shall be collected when they are subsequently labelled. The trade has represented that despite the notification, some Commissionerates are insisting on payment of cess on labelled beedis. Differing stands are being taken by different adjudicating authorities in this regard.readmore
