That made the appellant eligible for the benefit of total exemption granted by the Notification 43/82-C.E., dated 28-2-1982 for the next year, namely, 1-4-1984 to 31-7-1985. The clearance made during the period 1-4-1984 to 31-7-1985, was restricted to Rs. 2.5 lakh. The appellant availed of benefit of notification and did not pay duty. For the subsequent clearances, during the year, the appellant availed of benefit of Notification 44/82-C.E. of the same date which provided 50% duty exemption for the aggregate value not exceeding Rs. 15 lakh.
