Representation in Excise Matters

Since GST replaced central excise for most goods, excise representation now centres on legacy matters — old demands, CENVAT-credit disputes, refunds, and the transitional-credit questions that carried into GST — together with the narrow set of goods still under excise.

The firm represents you in these proceedings through adjudication, and supports appeals alongside counsel.

Excise representation now covers mainly legacy matters, including:

• Legacy excise demands and show-cause notices
• CENVAT-credit and refund disputes
• Transitional-credit issues carried over to GST
• Adjudication before the excise authorities
• Support for appeals before the Commissioner (Appeals) and CESTAT, with counsel

PBT handles legacy excise disputes carefully and accurately.

• Representation through adjudication

• Is excise still relevant after GST?

  Mostly as legacy litigation — old demands, CENVAT, and refunds — plus the few goods kept outside GST. We handle both.

• Can you handle pending CESTAT appeals?

  Yes, we support them alongside counsel where representation by an advocate is appropriate.

• How long does it take?

  Legacy disputes follow the appellate timelines, which can run over a long period; notice replies are prompt.
