tax relief to small-scale industry

Monday, February 28, 2005

The Finance Minister has proposed several tax relief measures for the small-scale industry. This includes the raising of ceiling for small-scale industry exemption based on turnover from the level of Rs. 3 crore per year to Rs. 4 crore per year. Further, SSI units will now have only two options: either full exemption on the first clearance of Rs. 1 crore or normal duty on the first clearance of Rs. 1 crore with CENVAT credit.
