The New Excise Regime: Why It Matters for Banmore Businesses
The compliance stakes for the pan masala and tobacco trade have never been higher. Under the new 2026 excise framework, cess on pan masala is charged per packing machine, based on its maximum rated speed and pouch weight, running from roughly ₹1.01 crore to over ₹25 crore per machine per month at the extremes, with even wholly manual production attracting ₹11 lakh per factory monthly. A Banmore manufacturer that fails to declare a machine, obtain registration, or file its monthly return faces penalties equal to the entire cess evaded, and prosecution where evasion crosses ₹1 crore.
Yet the same statutes also give taxpayers real rights: a three-tier appeal path from the appellate authority to CESTAT and on to the High Court on substantial questions of law, time limits that bind the department, and procedural safeguards around seizure and recovery. An industrial-area packing unit is the new regime’s exact addressee, in Banmore, the difference between a correct and careless machine declaration is measured in crores of monthly cess. JP Associates’ work is making those rights count, in registration, in adjudication, and in appeal.

Why Businesses in Banmore Choose JP Associates
Adv. Praveen Agrawal, the firm’s Founder and Managing Partner, has practised excise and indirect taxation law since the firm’s establishment in 1999, through the classic central excise era, the GST transition, and now the new 2026 excise framework. That arc of experience is the firm’s core asset.
The firm’s classical central excise grounding, factory-floor concepts like rated capacity, manufacture, and removal, is precisely what the new capacity-cess regime runs on. Banmore units get that vocabulary applied to their machines by counsel five minutes up the road in practical terms.
- 27 Years of Indirect Tax Practice: Since 1999 the firm has practised excise, and later GST, giving it rare fluency in both the old central excise jurisprudence and the new statutes built on it.
- Enforcement Experience: The firm has defended clients through departmental audits, searches, seizures, and recovery proceedings, the situations where experience is worth the most.
- Appellate Strength: From the appellate authority to CESTAT to the High Court, the firm argues its own appeals rather than referring them out.
