Commissioner of Central Excise, Tirunelveli Vs. the India Cements Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jun-15-2010

Per Jyoti Balasundaram The issue relates to admissibility of MODVAT credit on capital goods used in mines. The mines are the captive mines of the assessees and, therefore, the ratio of the decision of the Hon’ble apex court in Vikram Cement Vs CCE Indore [2006 (194) ELT 3 (SC)] holding that credit is admissible in the case of use of these items in captive mines is squarely applicable to the present case and following the same, we uphold the impugned order and reject the appeal....

Tata Tea Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Tiruchirapalli

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jun-15-2010

Per Jyoti Balasundaram A demand of Rs.6400/- has been confirmed along with Cess of Rs.900/- on rejected tea on the ground that it undergoes various processes like grinding, pulverizing, powdering and is mixed with green leaf and this is a process amounting to manufacture. 2. The assessees have asked for a decision on merits. Hence we heard ld. DR and perused the records. 3. We find that the assessees are relying upon the decision in their own case Final Order No.1042-1050/06 dt. 10.11.06 in which levy of Cess was set aside relying upon the earlier order of the Tribunal in Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd. Vs CCE Trichy 2005 (187) ELT 247. However, we note that in the present case, it is not only a demand of Cess but also demand of duty as set out above. Therefore, as the decision of the Tribunal relied upon by the assessees relates only to non-levy of Cess, we set aside the demand of Cess of Rs.900/-. 4. As regards the duty demand, we are in agreement with finding of the authorit...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Jun-15-2010

Per Dr. Chittaranjan Satapathy Heard both sides. 2. The appellants manufacture motor cycles of various models. Apart from making direct sales, the appellants also sale motor cycles through dealers for which there are dealership agreements. 3. It is contended by Shri K.S. Venkatagiri, learned counsel for the appellants that under the agreements there is no obligation for advertising by the dealers but on voluntary basis dealers do advertising of the motor cycles and the appellants reimburse part of the expenses. He states that part of the advertising expense which is reimbursed by the appellant forms part of the cost of the product and therefore becomes part of the assessable value on which excise duty is being paid. The Department is seeking to include the part of the advertisement expense incurred by the dealers and not reimbursed by the appellants in the assessable value. He states that there is no warrant in law for doing so as the advertisement done by the dealers in the local ar...
