1. Application is for waiver of deposit of Rs. 19.13 lakhs and penalty under Section 11A of the same amount.2. The Advocate for the applicant explains that the applicant is a builder, and for use in its buildings it manufactured at site concrete mix. Duty has been demanded on such concrete mix manufactured between 25-9-1995 and 21-11-1996 by notice dated 3-1-1997. He says that considerable confusion prevailed all along regarding liability to duty on concrete. Prior to issue of the Board Circular No. 237/71/96, there was a general impression that concrete, being a mixture of cement, sand and other goods, was not liable to duty, since it has a short shelf-life and, unless kept in an agitator becomes hard. By this circular the Board has clarified that ready mix concrete is chargeable to excise duty which is marketable despite having a short shelf-life, and classifiable under Heading 38.23. This circular was kept in abeyance by the Member of the Board in his letter to the Commissioner dat...

Commr. of Customs Vs. Kantilal Manilal Co. Pvt. Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-08-1999

Reported in: (1999)LC292Tri(Mum.)bai

M/s. Cyanides and Chemicals Co. had a value based advance licence. Since the export obligation had been fulfilled by them, the licence was made transferable by the licensing authorities. M/s. Kantilal and Co. Pvt. Ltd. secured this licence from the original holders and imported caustic soda free of duty. The scrutiny of the documents revealed that in making the applications the first recipient of the licence had suppressed the fact that they had availed of Modvat credit on the inputs used in the export goods. It was also found that before licence was made transferable by the appropriate authorities, the Modvat so taken had been reversed by the first holders namely M/s. Cyanides and Chemicals. The Customs authorities held that by virtue of Modvat availment the first holder himself did not have the eligibility to possess the licence and therefore the transferee was also excluded from the benefit of duty free imports. On this observation, duty free import was denied. The importers then a...
