  1. The Indian Government provides an associate exemption from duty if the turnover is RS. a hundred and fifty lakhs within the year. It means that the excise duty would be due if the turnover is quite a hundred and fifty lakhs, equally if the SSI entity had started up the business in an exceedingly current year, then it's entitled to the good thing about the exemption for the present year as its previous year clearances ar zip, even with the very fact that the business has not started the operations.
