1. The issue in dispute in the present appeal is admissibility of cenvat credit taken on inputs attributable to that portion of electricity transferred to the TNEB grid. According to the Revenue, proportionate credit is recoverable under Cenvat Credit Rules 14 and penalty imposable on the assessees in terms of Rule 15. 2. I have heard both sides. The case of the Revenue is based on Rule 6 (1) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, which applies in the case of common inputs being used both in the manufacture of exempted products as well as dutiable products. The issue now stands settled against the assesses by the decisions of the apex Court in CCE Vs. Solaris Chemtech Ltd. - 2007 (214) ELT 481 (S.C.) and Maruti Suzuki Ltd. Vs.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Aug-27-2010

1. Cenvat credit of Rs. 66,422/- has been disallowed to the assessees herein, on the ground that it was taken on the strength of two invoices issued by M/s. Sriram Textiles Pvt.

Counsel for the assessees does not dispute the finding of denial of cenvat credit on merit. However, his contention is that the entire demand is barred by limitation, for the reason that the credit was availed in March, 2004 and the Show Cause Notice was issued only on 11.12.2006, and there is no charge of suppression in the show cause notice and moreover, the assessee had taken reasonable steps as required under the Rules to satisfy himself that the invoices on the strength of which he took credit contained all the necessary particulars including registration number of M/s.

M/S. Chandrasekar and Co Vs. Cce, Coimbatore

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Aug-27-2010

1. The assesses challenge the imposition of penalty under the provisions of Section 78 of the Finance Act, 1994, on the ground that non-payment of service tax on Commercial construction complex (for LIC) was not deliberate and intentional and therefore extended period is not attracted against them. There is no finding by the authorities below that the assessees had knowledge that they were liable to pay service tax on their activity of construction of commercial complex for LIC which is a Public Sector Undertaking and therefore, the charge of suppression has not been established against them. In this view of the matter, I hold that the provisions of Section 78 are not attracted against the assessees and they are, therefore, not liable to penalty under that Section.
