Commissioner of C. Ex. Vs. Phenolite Electro Heat P. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-13-1999

Reported in: (2000)(116)ELT262TriDel

1. In this appeal we are concerned with classification of Silicon Carbide Heating Elements. The lower authorities have classified them under Tariff Heading 85.14 as parts of furnance where they are used on the basis of various certificates supplied by the respondents.1.1 Revenue, on the other hand, contends that these are classifiable under Tariff Heading 85.16 inasmuch as these are nothing but electric heating resistors. Which is specifically mentioned in the Tariff Heading 85.16. Thus classification is sought under that heading.1.2 Major reliance has been placed by the Revenue on the Explanatory Notes to HSN, which inter alia, states that with the exception of those of carbon all electrical heating resistors are classified here, irrespective of the classification of the apparatus or equipment in which they are to be used. They consist of bars, rods, plates, etc. or lengths of wire (usually coiled), or of special material which becomes very hot when current is passed through it. Mate...

Subsequently, dyed yarn is received back by the appellants and are sold in the market at a price higher than the price of grey yarn.The impugned order held that in respect of dyed yarn the assessable value should include the cost of dyeing.2. Learned Consultant Shri Gaur submits that manufacture of grey yarn and dyeing grey yarn consitute separate manufacturing activities under Chapter Note 2 of Chapter 55. The appellants are undertaking only manufacturing of grey yarn. Therefore, the assessable value in respect of grey yarn produced by them cannot include cost of dyeing. If duty was leviable on dyeing operation, it should be levied at the hands of the job worker who carried out the dyeing operation.3. Heard Shri Rao learned DR for the Revenue.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-13-1999

Reported in: (1999)(112)ELT73TriDel

1. For reasons recorded below, we dispense with the requirement of pre-deposit of duty payable in terms of the annual capacity as determined by the impugned order and stay its recovery and proceed to hear the appeal itself with the consent of both the sides.2. In this case, the ACP of the furnace of the appellants has been determined by the Commissioner of Central Excise, Allahabad as 10.2 MT for the year 1-9-1997 and 6 MT from 10-9-1997 onwards. The appellants submit that the Commissioner ought to have determined the ACP on the basis of their actual production and the fact that they had opted for determination in terms of Rule 96ZO(3) does not take away their right to claim that the determination should be on the basis of production.They further pointed out that when the matter had come up earlier under ACP order dated 20-3-1998, the Tribunal vide its Final Order No.A-291-294/98-NB, dated 26-5-1998 (including the present appellants as well as others) had remanded the matter for takin...

Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Vxl (India) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-13-1999

Reported in: (1999)LC980Tri(Delhi)

1. Question involved herein i whether raw greasy wool as imported by the respondents herein should b charged to the countervailing duty or not. The lower appellate authority he accepted the plea of the respondents herein and extended the benefit of Notif cation 60/87 to the said wool. His reasoning is contained in paras 8 and 9 of th impugned order which for better appreciation we reproduce below :- "8. From the above it would be evident that in the Customs Tariff while raw wool or fleece whether or not washed is chargeable to Basic Customs duty in case of Central Excise, wool only after they are scoured becomes chargeable to duty. That means the raw wool or greasy raw wool which is nothing but raw wool as it is obtained from the sheep and which contains dirt and grease is not excisable in the C. Ex. Tariff. Wool only in the condition after it has been washed and cleaned, which process is called scouring becomes excisable. From this point of view, the contention made by the appellant ...

Jay Cylinder Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: May-13-1999

Reported in: (1999)(113)ELT94TriDel

1. Shri C.L. Sawhney, Consultant appearing for the appellants referred to the show cause notice issued on 31-7-1996 raising duty demand for the period 1993-94 and 1994-95. He submits that the demands were time barred. Learned JDR submits that the show cause notice itself states that the price lists were approved only provisionally and therefore there was no question of any time bar and the show cause notice was not barred by limitation.2. We have been referred to the declaration filed by the appellants for 1994-95 (page 13-14 of the appeal papers) in which the Assistant Commissioner has made endorsement "accepted provisionally". Learned Consultant submits that endorsement made in 1996 cannot relate back to the period for which the declaration was made and therefore the claim of provisional assessment made by the department is not tenable.3. We find that this preliminary objection taken by the appellant has force as there is nothing on record to show that the provisional assessment was...
