Decided on: Feb-11-2000

Reported in: (2000)(119)ELT134TriDel

1. In the instant case, appellant/manufacturer uses the mould supplied by the customer in manufacturing the finished product. The question that has been canvassed before us is whether the cost of mould must have any relation to the value of the finished goods. According to the appellant, when the mould is supplied by the customer, the value of the mould is not to be reckoned in finding out the assessable value of the finished product. Reliance was placed on the decision of a Bench of the West Regional Bench in the case of C.C.E., Aurangabad v. Marathwada Glass Co. Pvt. Ltd. reported in 1999 (85) ECR 94. In that decision the Bench observed : "If the customer supplies his own moulds to a bottle manufacturer for making a specific number of bottles and returned thereafter, there is no doubt that such cost of moulds would not have to be included." 2. According to the learned D.R., this observation made by the West Regional Bench is in conflict with an earlier decision of this Tribunal in F...

Collector of Central Excise Vs. Capcoil Industries

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Reported in: (2000)(119)ELT670TriDel

The Assistant Collector approved the classification under Heading 84.67, which is for tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic with self-contained non-electric motor.

Collector of Central Excise, 1992 (57) E.L.T. 475 (Tribunal), by the appellant has misplaced because in that case.
