Law:
Section:
CENTRAL BOARD OF REVENUE ACT, 1924 General See Sections 3 & 43 of the Federal Excise Act, 2005. CENTRAL EXCISES ACT, 1944 (I OF 1944) Sections 3 & 4 See Sections 3 & 43 of the Federal Excise Act, 2005. CENTRAL EXCISE GENERAL ORDER NO. 4 OF 2002, DATED 15TH JUNE, 2002 See Sections 3 & 48; and 1st Schedule of the Federal Excise Act, 2005 FEDERAL BOARD OF REVENUE ACT, 2007 Sections 3 & 4 See Sections 3 & 43 of the Federal Excise Act, 2005.
