Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-22-1999

Reported in: (1999)(113)ELT174Tri(Mum.)bai

In the order impugned in the appeal, Collector (Appeals) has confirmed the finding of the Assistant Collector that the glass fibre manufactured and consumed captively in the production of glass tissue in the factory of M/s. F.G.P. Ltd. the respondent, is not marketable and is not excisable. This is challenged in the appeal on the ground that marketability is not a criterion for excisability and that as long as the goods are included in the tariff, their marketability is not to be established by the department. These arguments were reiterated by the Departmental Representative.2. Although Mr. Kishan Sheth, Factory Manager of the respondent stated that Mr. M.P.

The fact that goods are listed in the Central Excise Tariff does not by itself dispense wit...
