The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has prepared a draft of the 'Central Excise Bill, 2024'. This new draft bill aims to replace the outdated Central Excise Act, 1944, with a comprehensive and modern central excise law. The primary focus of the consultative process is to enact a law that factors in ease of doing business and removes redundant provisions. The draft bill comprises 12 chapters, 114 (one hundred and fourteen) sections and two schedules.
