Decided on: Nov-10-1998

Reported in: (1999)(105)ELT339TriDel

1. This application is filed with reference to the order passed by the Collector (Appeals), Ghaziabad dated 21-7-1998.2. Learned Counsel stated that in this case the issue relates to claiming Modvat in respect of 'evaporation boats' in which aluminium wires are placed for heat treatment. They claimed the benefit of Rule 57A but the Department denied the same on the ground that these cannot be treated as inputs and could only be considered as capital goods.Even if the Department was correct, the item would be eligible for Modvat under Rule 57Q. Furthermore whereas there is one judgment in the case of Madhya Pradesh Polypropylene Ltd. v. CCE, Indore 1996 (88) E.L.T. 730 (Tribunal) holding that these items were in the nature of tools and equipments not covered by Rule 57A, there are two other orders - one in the case of India Coffee and Tea Distributing Company Limited v.

Collector of C. Ex. Vs. Vipulam Enterprises (P) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Nov-09-1998

Reported in: (1999)(105)ELT666TriDel

1. The assessee in this case purchased hard board from the market as also decorative papers. They pasted the papers on the board and cleared it. The department's allegation was that this amounted to manufacture in terms of Section 2(f) of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and that duty was once again payable. The plea of the assessee was that the tariff heading did not change and that no process of manufacture was involved.The Assistant Collector in his order held that by virtue of the pasting of the paper a new product commercially known in the market, came into existence and that the duty was required to be levied afresh. The Collector (Appeals) in the impugned order reversed this decision placing reliance on the HSN note under Heading 4411.00 which is on par with Heading 4407.10 in the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985. He observed that the goods would remain classified under this heading even where they were covered with paper. On this ground he allowed the appeal resulting in the presen...

Eicher Tractor Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Nov-09-1998

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT341TriDel

1. Learned Chartered Accountant, Shri S. Madhavan prays for waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery of Rs. 18,37,104/- sought to be denied as Modvat credit taken by the applicants on inputs which are admittedly used exclusively in a final product, namely, tractors which are exempted from payment of duty.2. Learned Chartered Accountant points out that the Scheme of Rules 57C and 57CC does not call for this retrenchment of credit, as proposed by the lower authorities. The scheme envisages payment of duty on the goods which were otherwise exempted if inputs are used in manufacture of both dutiable and exempted final products. This they have done in terms of provisions of Rule 57CC(1). Therefore, there is no question of retrenchment of credit on inputs used exclusively in exempted tractors.On the other hand, Revenue's contention is that 57C(1) gives the authority for retrenchment of the said credit because it is not permissible in the first instance at the outset.3. We are of the view ...
