Decided on: Oct-25-1995

Reported in: (1996)(83)ELT668Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This is an appeal against Order-in-Appeal No. P-64/90, dated 6-3-1991 of the Collector of Central Excise (Appeals), Pune.2. The only issue involved in this appeal is the eligibility of Argon gas for Modvat credit under Rule 57A of the Rules. The Assistant Collector held that argon gas is not actually used in the manufacture of final product and this gas is used as consumable in the cutting torch and therefore it cannot be said to be used in or in relation to the manufacture of the final product. In this view, he denied the Modvat Credit and ordered reversal of credit to the extent of Rs. 31034/-. On appeal before the Collector (Appeals), the Collector (Appeals) held that argon gas is to protect the electric arc and the molten metal from atmospheric contamination, as it shields them from direct contact with the air. Argon gas is therefore, only one of the raw materials which help in shielding the molten mass from the air and is therefore, in the nature of an appliance, which is excl...
