These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9.

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale.

From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5.

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn.

	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also.

In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. 8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct.

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13.

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',
	(int) 8 => '<p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

(k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase.

	(int) 51 => '<p>7. In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5.

Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale.

In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',

	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',

The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required.

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',
	(int) 8 => '<p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

(k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

	(int) 51 => '<p>7. In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. 8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale.

But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5.

In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn.

Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',

	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12.

Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',

	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',

	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13.

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',
	(int) 8 => '<p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

(k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

	(int) 51 => '<p>7. In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase.

(k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required.

But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5.

In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5.

(k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used.

It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives',it has been observed as under :It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. 12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act.

The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p>To,</p><p>The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p>I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Commercial Taxes Officer,.Circle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I...Proprietor/Manager/Partner/Director of the business known as...

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',

The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6.

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p></p><p>',

A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside.

Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',

In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">',

The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.</p><p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.</p><p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :</p><p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.</p><p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.</p><p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.</p><p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules').

	(int) 0 => '<p>A.K. Mathur, J.',
	(int) 1 => '<p>1. These three revision petitions arise from a common order passed by the Tribunal, therefore, these petitions are disposed of by a common order.',
	(int) 2 => '<p>2. The question involved in these revision petitions is that whether the respondent-assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) or not.',
	(int) 3 => '<p>3. The assessee is a manufacturer of sized yarn. He purchases the yarns and then processes them in order to produce sized yarn. A notice was given to him by the assessing authority, Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle, Jodhpur, that the sized yarn does not involve a manufacturing process and, therefore, he is not entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). The assessing authority found that the processing of the yarn with the help of other ingredients does not involve manufacturing in terms of Section 2(k) of the Act. Aggrieved against this order the assessee approached the appellate authority, but without any result. Aggrieved against the order of the appellate authority he approached the Tribunal and the Tribunal after examining the matter in detail found that sizing of the yarn involves a processing and that is included in the definition of 'manufacture' under Section 2(k) of the Act. The Tribunal held that since there is entry in the registration certificate that the gum, starch and cellulose derivatives are necessary ingredients for manufacturing of the sized yarn, therefore, the assessee is entitled to the benefit of concessional rate of tax under Section 6C(1) of the Act and he is not liable to pay a penalty under Section 5C(1) of the Act, hence penalty was set aside. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal these three revision petitions have been filed by the State.',
	(int) 4 => '<p>4. Mr. Bhansali, learned counsel for the department, has submitted that in fact the Tribunal has not perused the registration certificate and in the registration certificate the names of the items for manufacturing do not find mention, therefore, learned counsel submits that as the manufacturing items on which the assessee has claimed at concessional rate under Section 5C(1) have not been mentioned, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to any concessional rate of tax on these items. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, submits that it is not necessary to mention the items in the form ST-17, so as to obtain the concessional rate of the constituent items which are used for manufacturing of the product. The learned counsel submitted that Section 5C(1) of the Act does not require that the assessee should mention in the registration certificate that what are the items which are required for manufacturing so as to enable him to obtain a concessional rate of tax on the purchases made by him under Section 5C(1) of the Act. Secondly, learned counsel submitted that it is the department who has to enter the items in the registration certificate. Before dealing with the rival contentions of the parties it will be better to refer to the necessary provisions of the Act bearing on the subject. Section 5C(1) of the Act reads as under :',
	(int) 5 => '<p>5C. Concessional rate of tax for raw materials.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, but subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be prescribed, the rate of tax payable on the sale to or purchase by a registered dealer of any raw material for the manufacture in the State of goods other than exempted goods for sale by him within the State or in the course of inter-State trade or commerce or in the course of export outside the territory of India shall be at a concessional rate of 2 per cent of sale or purchase price of such raw material.',
	(int) 6 => '<p>Explanation.-For the purpose of this Sub-section, 'exempted goods' means (i) goods exempted under Sub-section (1) of Section 4 and (ii) goods liable to additional excise duty under the Additional Duties of Excise (Goods of Special Importance) Act, 1957 and which are exempt from the payment of tax by or under the provisions of this Act.',
	(int) 7 => '<p>5. According to Section 5C(1), any registered dealer who purchases any raw material for manufacturing of the goods can claim a concessional rate on sale or purchase. Section 5C(2) says that if he has not utilised that goods on which he has obtained a concession under Section 5C(1) for manufacturing purposes then he will be subjected to a penalty.',
	(int) 8 => '<p>6. Under this a form has been prescribed by the Government under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'). The form ST-3 is reproduced as under :',

	(int) 51 => '<p>7. In this form the item No. 11 clearly lays down that the following goods or classes of goods are ordinarily purchased by the dealer for use as a raw material in manufacturing of goods for sale. It has been clearly mentioned that while certifying in the certificate of registration he will mention that the following materials are required by the dealer or manufacturer for use of manufacturing of the goods for sale. From the scheme of the Act and Rules it is apparent that whoever want to avail the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act shall apply first before the registering authority that the following items are required for manufacturing of the goods for sale and thereafter while the certificate of registration is being granted to him it shall be mentioned in that certificate that the following items are required by the manufacturer for manufacturing of the goods for sale. In this background we have to examine the facts of the present case.',
	(int) 52 => '<p>8. It is true that from the original record made available to me it appears that entries made therein are not very happy, but both the parties have accepted that the assessee is a manufacturer of the sizing yarn. But the question before me is whether sized yarn processed by him fall in the definition of the manufacture or not.',
	(int) 53 => '<p>9. Section 2(k) of the Act defines 'manufacture'. Section 2(k) reads as under:',
	(int) 54 => '<p>2. (k) 'Manufacture' includes any process or manner of producing, collecting, extracting, preparing or making any goods but does not include such manufactures/or manufacturing processes as may be notified by the State Government.',
	(int) 55 => '<p>10. The manufacture as defined in the present Act includes processing also. The process has been defined in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary and reads as under :',
	(int) 56 => '<p>Process : to subject to a particular method, system or technique of preparation, handling or other treatment designed to effect a particular result; put through a special process as....',
	(int) 57 => '<p>11. So, in the wider context of the definition the manufacture includes the processing also. Mr. Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent, has also produced before me the extract from a book ' 'sizing' materials, method, machines'. This is a publication of the textile trade process. In this, chapter 7 under the heading of the 'Adhesives-3, starch, gum and cellulose derivatives', it has been observed as under :',
	(int) 58 => '<p>It has been seen that natural materials like starch, gum and other polysaccharides like TKP, proteins and pectins are some of the oldest adhesives used. However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties.',
	(int) 59 => '<p>12. From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not factually correct. In the registration certificate no mention has been made that what goods are going to form part of the manufacturing process of the sized yarn. Be as it may, but looking to the nature of the item manufactured in reference to the book mentioned above there cannot be any doubt that such materials are used in the present process as the necessary ingredients for sizing of the yarn. In fact, the whole controversy started on account of the fact that processing does not involve manufacturing, but that it is not correct. In view of Section 2(k) as quoted above even processing includes in the wider definition of a manufacture under the Act. In the present case it is not disputed that the sized yarn is prepared by the processing through a process in which gum, starch, etc., are required for sizing of the plain cotton yarn. Thus, in the result, the conclusion drawn by the Tribunal is correct. Though, not by way of analysis that whether these items are necessary ingredients of manufacturing of the sizing yarn, but since I have examined myself and I am satisfied that these items are used for processing of the yarn and the result is the sized yarn, therefore, there is no hesitation in saying that the assessee is entitled to the benefit under Section 5C(1) of the Act. But before parting with this case, I may observe that in fact the department should insist that whoever wants to get the benefit of ST-17, the applicant must fill in all columns of ST-3 and mention that what are the raw materials for manufacturing of the goods for sale on which the assessee wants to claim any benefit, if any. The department should also fill in the registration certificate given in the form ST-4 and should enumerate that what are the raw materials required for manufacturing of the goods for sale. These requirements if adhered to, perhaps will leave out the doubtful situation and it will cut short arguments which are normally raised. In case, where such formality is not complied with, then it is the discretion of the Sales Tax Officer to come to the conclusion after examining necessary evidence of both the parties that whether the raw materials are actually used or capable of being used in manufacturing of the goods for sale or not.',
	(int) 60 => '<p>13. In the result, I do not find force in these revision petitions, therefore they are dismissed. No order as to costs.<p>',
