Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-11-1988

Reported in: (1988)(37)ELT439TriDel

1. We have here in these appeals before us a dispute whether a product produced by the assessees is a strip or not The Appellate Collector In different orders held that the products were not strips and they should be assessed under 26AA (ia) before 1.8.1983 and under Tariff Item 25(8) after 1.8.1983. The problem for us is compounded by the fact that the Assistant Collector whose orders were impugned before the Appellate Collector sometimes assessed them under Item 26AA(ii) and sometimes under 26AA(iii), and Item 25(12)(1)(9) and (1)(c) or 25(13)(iii)(a) and (b), of the 1.8.1983 tariff. In one order in original, the Assistant Collector said the assessment would be according to its width, but he does not say what the width Is. Item 25(12) covers hoops and strips while 25(13) covers coils for reroling, sheets, plates etc. This is a clear recognition that some of these goods were not strips, but might acquire categorization as plates, sheets and so on.

Brief facts of the cases are that the appellant-importer has imported two consignments of Khaskhas (Poppy Seeds) and has claimed their import under OGL S.No.l as raw material under appendix-6.

He is manufacturing a drug atS.No.36 of the list of items approved by the Drug Controller; the drug is known as Khaskhas til ark (distillate of poppy seeds).3.

Facts giving rise to the present appeal, which has been filed by the assessee, a resident-individual, involving assessment year 1985-86, with previous year ending on 31-3-1985, are: That at the assessment stage, the assessee claimed deduction under Section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter to be referred to as 'the Act') on account of National Savings Certificates (hereinafter to be referred to as 'NSC') purchased.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-10-1988

Reported in: (1990)(46)ELT160TriDel

1. The appellants imported, under 7 Bills of Entry filed between 18-1-1980 and 31-3-1980, a set of sub-assembly and parts for flour mill. On examination of the consignment the customs felt that a complete roller mill, purifier and a set of a complete wooden plansifter were imported. Investigations were done and show cause notice was issued to the appellants; who answered but waived personal hearing. The Collector taking note of a certificate issued by Sh. V.N.Vedamurthy (Asstt. Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Anna University of Technology) held that there was, on the part of the appellants, a deliberate attempt to mis-declare the description and value of the imported goods with a view to get the same cleared under cover of an import licence issued for assemblies and spare parts of specific description as per list attached thereto. He therefore confiscated the goods but gave an option for redemption of the same on payment of fine of Rs. 20,000. He also imposed a penalty of Rs. 25,...

Agnel Charities Vs. Income-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Delhi

Decided on: Mar-10-1988

Reported in: (1988)27ITD545(Delhi)

1. This appeal by the assessee is directed against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax who passed an order under Section 263 of the Income-tax Act for the assessment year 1982-83. The assessee is assessed in the status of an Association of Persons and is a charitable body. It runs a school. The assessee had claimed before the Income-tax Officer that the income should be exempt under Section 10(22) of the Income-tax Act. The Income-tax Officer, however, referred to the main objects of the assessee and held that it did not exist solely for the purpose of education and it was, therefore, not entitled to benefit under Section 10(22) of the Income-tax Act. The Income-tax Officer, however, held that the objects of the trust were charitable and, he, therefore, computed the income by applying the provisions of Section 11 of the Income-tax Act. The net income of the assessee was determined at Rs. 7,560 which was below the taxable limit. As no demand was raised the assessee did not appe...
