Since we also felt so, we heard arguments only in respect of this ground.3. The block period consists of the assessment years 1986-87 to 1995-96 (10 years) and...

Decided on: Sep-24-1997

Reported in: (1997)(96)ELT178Tri(Mum.)bai

1. In the order impugned in the appeal, the Collector, adjudicating upon a notice issued to the assessee, has said that it was not entitled to take Modvat credit of the duty paid on copper rods and bars received by it as an input, for the reason that the certificate evidencing payment of duty by the manufacturer M/s. Hindustan Copper Ltd. was not valid for the purpose of taking credit. The notice dated 3-4-1991 called upon the assessee to show cause why credit taken on 8th April, 1986 and 17th March, 1990 should not be recovered.2. The notice has thus clearly been beyond six months from the date of taking credit. Although before its amendment in 1988 Rule 56-I there was no specific time limit in Rule 56-I for recovery of credit already taken, the Larger Bench of this Tribunal in Breach India v. CCE has read into that rule, a period of six months in the normal course or five years where the parties specified in the proviso to Section 11A are invoked for such licences that period has to...
