Collector of Central Excise Vs. Poysha Indl. Co. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-1996

Reported in: (1997)(93)ELT445TriDel

1. This is an appeal against the order-in-appeal passed by the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Ghaziabad, dated 22-11-1994. A notice for hearing was duly issued to the Respondent but neither any appearance was caused nor there was any other communication requesting for adjournment or otherwise. Hence, we perused the records and heard the Ld. D.R.2. Ld. D.R. stated that in this case the respondents were clearing T.P.strips of width 3" and above as waste and scrap and paying duty accordingly. But on enquiry it was found that the respondents sells these tin cuttings to small traders who manufacture sieves, buttons, toys, kajal ki dibbi etc. Therefore, the department considered that the goods cleared were actually small sheets/cut pieces which could not be treated as waste and scrap. The A.C. heard the matter and taking into account Section Note 6(a) of Section XV governing the Chapter 72 observed that the cuttings and trimmings in question could not be considered waste and scrap. ...

1. In this appeal filed by M/s. Zenith Ltd. (Indian Tool Mfgrs.Division), the matter relates to the classification of Drill Blanks.The appellants had contended that the Drill Blanks merited classification under Item No. 68 while the Revenue had sought to classify the goods under Item No. 51A(iii) of the old Central Excise Tariff.2. The matter was posted for hearing on 11-9-1996. The appellants had prayed for a decision on merits. On behalf of the respondents/Revenue, Shri M. Jayaraman, JDR, briefly stated the facts of the case and submitted that as the Drill Blanks had the essential character of tools, they were classifiable under Item No. 51A.3. We have carefully considered the matter. The Blanks manufactured by the appellants from imported high speed steel were sold as Drill Blanks. Although the imported high speed steel was subjected to various processes of grinding, edge-sharpening and grooving, they were not ready to be fitted into hand tools, machine tools or other tools for wor...

Collector of Customs Vs. U.P. Brassware Corpn. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-1996

Reported in: (1997)(92)ELT625TriDel

1. In these Revenue appeals question that falls for determination is whether the term "Copper in crude form", for the period prior to 1-3-1981, when copper scrap was also added as a taxable item under the then Tariff Heading 26A, would cover copper scrap. The Revenue contend that even prior to 1-3-1981 when specific entry covering copper scrap was inserted in Tariff Item 26A, the copper in any crude form covers copper scrap also.3. Ld. D.R. arguing for the Revenue submits that the term 'crude' denotes naturally raw, unprepared, not used, not finished, etc. Copper scrap being a material not in any form is necessarily required to be reduced to a required order or form. Therefore, copper scrap is nothing but copper in crude form.4. We have heard ld. D.R. and perused the records of the case.Admittedly, copper scrap was made dutiable w.e.f. 1-3-1981 by inserting a specific entry for copper scrap in the Heading 26A as it then existed. The question, therefore, is whether even for the period ...

1. In this appeal filed by the Revenue, the only point for our consideration is, whether in case of any violation when goods are received under Chapter X Procedure of the Central Excise Rules, duty had to be paid by the user of the goods or by the manufacturer who had manufactured the goods received by the user under Chapter X Procedure.2.

We have carefully considered the matter. Under Notification No.56/78-C.E., dated 1-3-1978 the room air conditioners were partly exempted from duty subject to the various conditions as contained in that notificat...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-1996

Reported in: (1997)(93)ELT414TriDel

1. The short point for determination in the present appeal is whether handloom cess shall be leviable on processed fabrics when cess has already been paid on grey fabrics.2. The facts of the case in brief are that the respondents herein are engaged in processing of grey fabrics. Grey fabrics are received by the respondents and after dyeing they are sent back to the persons who sent the grey fabrics to them. The Assistant Collector alleged that since the respondents herein are manufacturing processed fabrics and, therefore, cess should be levied and collected on processed fabrics irrespective of whether cess has already been paid on grey fabrics. In appeal, the learned Collector (Appeals) went a stage further, holding that cess of differential amount equal to that payable on processed fabrics minus the amount already paid on grey fabrics should be collected and remanded the case to the Assistant Collector for readjudication. Against this order, the Department has filed the present appe...

1. This is an appeal against the order of Collector (Appeals), Madras dated 20-1-1987.2. Ld. Counsel stated that the appellants had imported copper tubes (ASTMB-68 DHP) specially designed for use in refrigeration industries which was classifiable according to them under Heading 84.15 and not under Heading 74.07/08(1).3. The Department has classified them under the latter heading but according to the appellants this heading applies to only general purpose copper tubes and pipes and not to the items in question which are parts of refrigerators and refrigerating equipment falling under Heading 84.15. Similarly the additional duty is required to be levied under Tariff Item 29A(3) and not under 26A(3). Further they were also entitled for exemption under Customs Notification No. 45/83. Hence, the appellants had filed a refund claim which had been rejected by the Assistant Collector without granting them a personal hearing.4.

Reported in: (1996)(88)ELT782TriDel

1. This is an appeal against the order dated 19-6-1992 passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals), New Delhi. The brief facts are that the appellants herein filed two refund claims for the period 1-4-1989 to 21-12-1989 and 1-4-1990 to 4-12-1990. Both of which were received in the jurisdictional Assistant Collector's office on 18-6-1991. The ground on which the refund was claimed, was that the Commissioner (Appeals) by an order dated 31-12 -1990 directed against the earlier adjudication Order No. 247-CE/88, dated 26-12-1988 which has given decision in their favour, had held that the appellants will be liable for exemption under Notification No. 175/86.

The Assistant Collector has taken a view that the items in question are designed for use in valves.He has taken a view that by virtue of Note 1(G) of Section XVI of CTA read with Note 2 of Section XV "Springs" are excluded from Chapter 84, and hence they were not fall within Heading 98.06.2. Before the Collector the appellants contended that they were importing spring sub-assembly consisting of spring and match machined washers.
