Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-17-1997

Reported in: (1999)(110)ELT665Tri(Mum.)bai

1.

The charge was that the material on which Respondents had taken deemed Modvat credit was in the nature of Bazar scrap on which no duty has been paid therefore, they are recognisable as non-duty paid leading to denial of de...
