The New Excise Regime: Why It Matters for Mohana 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 Mohana 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. Highway-town godowns between two district markets hold stock in motion, and stock in motion, paused, is what mobile enforcement squads on the Shivpuri road examine first. JP Associates’ work is making those rights count, in registration, in adjudication, and in appeal.
