Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-06-1987

Reported in: (1987)20ITD88(Delhi)

1. The appellant-assessee by these appeals challenges three separate orders of the learned AAC, New Delhi for the assessment years 1977-78 to 1979-80, on the following identical ground: The learned Income-tax Officer has erred in disallowing claim under Section 80J of the Income-tax Act, 1961.Since the facts, circumstances, issues and parties are common, for the sake of convenience, we propose to dispose of all the appeals by a single order.2. When the appeals were called for hearing no body appeared on behalf of the assessee despite the service of the notice as is evident from the acknowledgement due receipt placed in the record. There is no adjournment petition either. In the circumstances, we proceed to finalise the matters ex parte, after hearing the learned departmental representative and perusing the record.3. We first take up the assessee's IT Appeal No. 1179 (Delhi) of 1983, for the assessment year 1977-78. The status of the assessee is shown as a registered firm. The accounti...

Dunbar Mills Ltd. Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-05-1987

Reported in: (1989)(44)ELT500TriDel

1. Shri V. Lakshmikumaran, Advocate appears on behalf of the appellants alongwith Shri A.R. Maihava Rao, Advocate and submits that there are two notifications No. 127/69-C.Ex., dated 29-4-1969 and No.72/69-C.Ex., dated 1-3-1969 which are applicable to the impugned products. It is of a greater advantage to the appellants to avail of the first notification and they have sought assessment on that basis, but the benefit of that notification is being denied as per the decision of the lower authorities, according to which, it has been held that assessment should be made as per the second notification, which is considered more specifically to apply to the impugned products. Shri Lakshmikumaran refers to the decision of this Tribunal in the case of Calico Mills v. Collector of Central Excise, Ahmedabad - [1985 (22) E.L.T. 574 (Tribunal)] in which it was held that if there are two notifications which are applicable, then one exemption notification cannot take away the benefit given by another ...

Guru Nanak Ice Factory Vs. Collector of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-05-1987

Reported in: (1989)(43)ELT102aTriDel

1. When this appeal was called, no one appeared for the appellants. A telegram was read saying the partners of Guru Nanak Ice Factory were out of station and requesting another date for hearing. The bench decided this was not a sufficient cause for adjournment and so it rejected the request. The learned SDR was asked to present the department's case.2. He argued that not only was the claim time barred under Rule 11 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, but that M/s. Guru Nanak Ice Factory were not the manufacturers of the goods and did not pay the duty, hence they have no right on the department in the shape of a refund claim.3. And he is right. The claim was filed on 13.9.1978 two and a half years after the payment of duty on 30.3.1976. For this reason the appeal is rejected.4. The refund claim suffers from an even more serious disqualification; the refrigeration parts were manufactured by M/s. Rup Refrigeration, Junagadh, who paid the duty at the time of clearance; they alone can claim...

Collector of C. Ex. Vs. Hindustan Gas and Industries Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-02-1987

Reported in: (1989)(41)ELT663TriDel

1. Section 4(4)(d)(i) of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 allows exclusion of cost of packing from the assessable value of goods if the packing is of a durable nature and is returnable by the buyer to the asses-see. The respondents manufactured compressed oxygen gas and cleared it packed in cylinders. The question for consideration in this appeal of the department is whether the deduction of Re.l/- per cubic metre of gas, representing the phased cost of the cylinder over its total life span, claimed by the respondents for exclusion from the sale price of the gas should be allowed. There is no dispute that the gas cylinders were durable and returnable.2. A gas cylinder costs the respondents about Rs. 1,600/- as its initial purchase price. The case of the respondents is that they never recovered this amount in lumpsum from their customers either by way of sale price or by way of security deposit. They took only a small fraction of it from the customers by way of security deposit. ...

Collector of Central Excise Vs. Rajaram Corn Products (Punjab)

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jan-02-1987

Reported in: (1987)(29)ELT705TriDel

1. A common issue is involved in these two appeals and they were argued before us together. This common order will dispose of both of them.2. Section 4(4)(d)(i) of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 allows exclusion of cost of packing from the assessable value of goods if the packing is of a durable nature and is returnable by the buyer to the assessee. The respondents manufactured liquid glucose and cleared it in drums. In about 70% cases, the drums were returned to them by their customers and in such cases the department has allowed them exclusion of the cost of drums from the assessable 'value of liquid glucose.Through the present appeals, the department seeks to disallow such exclusion in the remaining cases on the ground that "returnable" means "ordinarily/ generally returned" and since the drums were not actually returned to the respondents, they could not be considered as returnable.3. As to what is the meaning of the word "returnable", has been the subject matter of a larg...
