Multitech Auto Ltd. Vs. Collector of Central Excise

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Jun-16-2000

Reported in: (2001)(130)ELT683TriDel

1. In this case, credit of Rs 17,900/- has been disallowed to the appellants who are manufacturers of motor vehicle parts falling under Chapter 87 of the Central Excise Tariff and further differential duty of Rs. 19,430.77 has been confirmed against them.2. We have heard Shri T.K. Srivastava, learned Advocate, and Shri R.K.Sharma, learned SDR.3. The ground for denial of credit of Rs 17,900/- on the capital goods is that the goods were received on 10-8-1996 while the declaration under Rule 57 T was filed on 12-8-1996 i.e. after receipt of the capital goods. We agree with the appellants that the delay of two days in filing the declaration cannot be a ground for denial of credit as the credit was availed only after filing of the declaration and the appellants have also requested for condonation of the very short delay in filing the declaration. Hence, we hold that the appellants are eligible to the above-mentioned amount and set aside the denial of the same.4. The differential duty deman...

1. The appellants filed claims for refund of duty of Rs. 3,20,590.56, Rs. 1,22,709.60 and Rs. 1,74,404/-respectively being the duty paid by them on lead glass tubings supplied by M/s. Metal Lamp Caps (I) Ltd., Mysore on the ground that the supplier/manufacturer had wrongly classified the tubings under CET Subheading 7001.90 instead of under CET sub-heading 7008.10 as electric light bulbs, attracting nil rate of duty. The claims were rejected by the Assistant Collector on the ground that the assessee is not eligible to seek refund of duty on the goods as they had discharged the duty liability in accordance with the approved classification list filed by the manufacturer at Mysore. The lower appellate authority has upheld the order of the Assistant Collector holding that it is not open to a purchaser to reopen the assessment finalised in terms of Section 11B (1). Hence these appeals.2. None appeared for the appellants in spite of notice, hence we heard the learned DR and perused the reco...
