Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Feb-14-2002

Reported in: (2002)(81)ECC588

1. The appellant is a processor of textile fabrics and works under compound levy scheme. It claimed abatement of duty for the periods when the unit was closed. The abatement claim was made without first making payment of duty due at the compounded rate. The impugned order rejected the claim on the ground that abatement claims for periods of closure less than a month can be considered only after duty alongwith the interest is paid.2. We have heard both sides. The claim of the appellant for rebate has been rejected for violation of the procedure specified in Rule 96ZQ.Sub-rule 7(f) specifically states that when the claim for abatement by the independent processor is for a period of less than one month, he shall be required to pay the duty, as applicable, for the entire period of the month and may subsequently seek such claim after payment of such duty. The rejection of the appellant's claim by the lower authority is on account of the violation of this procedural requirement. Both sides ...
