Decided on: Jul-20-1987

Reported in: (1987)(13)LC516Tri(Delhi)

1. Under order dated 13-12-1979 the Collector of Central Excise, Calcutta confirmed the demands raised under three show cause notices dated 4-8-1979, 9-8-79 and 4-9-1979 respectively and further imposed a penalty of Rs. 50,000/- on the respondents M/s. Bata (India) Ltd. Under two other orders dated 11-3-1980 the Collector confirmed further demands for duty but did not impose any further penalty in view of the penalty already imposed under order dated 13-12-1979. The issue in all these matters related to the classification of the cutting dies and cutting discs manufactured by the respondents which they claimed fell under Item 68 GET. The Collector observed that the goods fell under Item 51-A(iv) GET and that though the Company had been informed about such a classification under an earlier order of the Assistant Collector and had been directed not to remove the goods except under the said classification they had chosen to ignore the same and had been removing the goods without payment o...

Metal Extruders (India) Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-20-1987

Reported in: (1990)(28)LC488Tri(Delhi)

1. The Assistant Collector of Central Excise arrived at a finding that the assessees had cleared the copper wire rods without payment of duty during the period 1.4.1978 to 31.3.1979 under notification 119/' 6-CE.The show cause notice was issued on 8.9.1980. In the written submission dated 9.7.1987, the assessees, M/s. Metal Extruders (India) Pvt. Ltd. say that the notice cannot extend over the period beyond 3.3.1980. By this they evidently mean that the demand was time-barred for the period before 3.3.1980.2 Since the dispute covers the period 1.4.1978 to 31.3.1979, there seems to be considerable force in the submission of the assessees. In his order No V-26A(15) 16/80 dated 24.8.1981 the Assistant Collector does not detail any fraud or suppression or mis-statement the factory was guilty of.3. The case was based on the fact that they used imported scrap. Now the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Bombay in his order No.C-898/Bll-209/83 dated 25.5.1983 correctly points out that imp...

The goods were assessed for customs duty under Heading 84.19 CTA. There is no dispute about the basic classification.

Reported in: (1988)24ITD478(Delhi)

1. This appeal is filed by the Income-tax Officer against the order of the Commissioner (A) and the cross-objection is by the assessee. The Income-tax Officer feels aggrieved by the direction of the Commissioner (A) to allow deduction of the sum of Rs. 3,25,988 representing the initial contribution to be made to the gratuity fund.2. The assessee-company debited its profit and loss account by a sum of Rs. 3,72,424 towards gratuity liability. Of this, sum of Rs. 3,25,988 represented provision for payment of initial contribution of gratuity as per actuarial valuation and the balance represented the amount paid during the year. While the Income-tax Officer allowed the deduction for the payment made during the year, he declined to allow the provision made for gratuity of Rs. 3,25,988 on the ground that it was only a provision made for the payment of gratuity and there was a prohibition imposed by Section 40A(7) with -effect from 1-4-1973 to allow deductions for provisions made towards grat...

Phelps and Co. (P.) Ltd. Vs. Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Jul-20-1987

Reported in: (1988)25ITD96(Delhi)

1 In this appeal by the assessee, the only issue involved is regarding the claim of interest under Section 244(1A) in respect of self-assessment tax paid which was refunded. According to the assessee, it is not disputed by the department that the payment was made after 1-4-1975 but what is being disputed is that self-assessment tax is not an amount paid as a consequence of assessment order and, therefore, interest is not allowable. Reference was made to the provisions contained in Section 140A(2) where it has been mentioned that after a regular assessment has been made the amount that is paid as self-assessment tax shall be deemed to have been paid towards such regular assessment. Therefore, though the amount was paid prior to the assessment, in view of this provision, the claim of the assessee is fully justified that it should be treated as payment made as a consequence of the regular assessment. Reliance was also placed in Delhi High Court decision in National Agricultural. Co-opera...
