Full Judgment
2. We have heard both sides. The appellants restrict their claim to those invoices bearing the endorsement of cash discount either typed or rubber-stamped. Since the cash discount was known to buyers prior to the removal of the goods by way of the endorsement on the invoices, the appellant are entitled to deduction of cash discount from the assessable value in the light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Goodlass Nerolac Paints Ltd. v. Union of India 1993 (65) ELT 186 (Bom) affirmed by the Apex Court in 1994 (73) ELT A58 and the judgment of the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of H & R Jhonson (India) Ltd. v. Central Board of Excise and Customs 1998 (101) ELT 251 (Kar). We, therefore, hold that the appellants are entitled to deduction in respect of amounts covered by the invoices bearing endorsement of cash discount.
