The adjudicating Collector has held them guilty of short-payment of duty through fraudulent mis-declaration of the value of their goods, and ordered them to pay the differential duty of Rs. 1,73,269.28 Under Rule 9(2) of the Central Excise Rules, 1944 for the period of 5 years (1978-79 to 1982-83) and has further imposed a penalty of Rs. 4 lakhs on them Under Rule 173Q of the same Rules.3.

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-12-1987

Reported in: (1987)21ITD369(Delhi)

1. These are cross-appeals by the assessee and the revenue and one other appeal on the issue of registration filed by the assessee involving common issues and, therefore, they are disposed of by a composite order. In the appeal by the assessee, the common grounds that have been raised are that: (a) the assessee's status is that of a non-resident and its control and management are outside India ; (b) if answer to (a) above is 'yes', then the income, if any, from out of India is not taxable under the Indian Income-tax Act; (c) if the answer to (a) above is in the negative, then since the assessee has filed a loss return the revenue authorities were wrong in arriving at a positive income without any basis ; and (d) the revenue authorities were wrong in not allowing the relief under Section 35B in respect of the expenses incurred in Kuwait.3. In regard to the first ground that is the claim of status of nonresident, the plea of the assessee was that the firm, which comprised of three partn...

The appellants which are a partnership firm manufacture and sell 'gudakhu' which is nothing but manufactured tobacco within the ambit of Item 4 of the Central Excise Tariff Schedule. In the appellants' own case the Orissa High Court has upheld the contention and the decision has been reported in 35 STC 179. While considering the provisions of the Tariff Schedule and Section 2(f)(i) of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, the High Court has held that gudakhu is a kind of manufactured tobacco like cigarettes, cigars, cheroots, biri, chewing tobacco and snuff, and was very much akin to hookah tobacco, specified in the Item. In spite of the decision of the High Court the Assistant Collector, Cuttack, issued a requisition on 4-8-1977 to the appellants to take out Central Excise Licence alleging that gudakhu was liable to pay excise duty under Tariff Item 68.
