Commr. of C. Ex. Vs. Electro Pneumatics and

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-15-2000

Reported in: (2000)(118)ELT594Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appeal filed by the department is against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals), confirming the claim of the assessee that hydraulic press, pipes, tube, bending machines, special purpose machines for working metal and honing machines, all computer numerically controlled are CNC machines tools and has been exempted under Notification 253/88.2. After hearing the departmental representative we find no merits whatsoever in the department's appeal. The only ground in the appeal is that the goods are more appropriately classifiable as machines and not machine tools. Machine tools are necessarily machines. Machine tools are defined in the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, third edition, as "stationary power driven machine for shaping, cutting, turning, boring, drilling, grinding or polishing of solid parts especially metal". The appeal does not question that the goods are machines tools since they are classifiable either under Heading 8460.00 or 8462.00, whic...

Commissioner whose order has been confirmed by the Commissioner (Appeals) has imposed penalty on his finding that the attempt to change the classification of the machine was made so that its purchaser could avail of the Modvat credit of the duty paid on them. Credit is available of the duty paid on goods classifiable under Heading 84.60 but not those classified under 84.24.3. The advocate for the appellant does not wish to press the claim for classification under 84.60, which is made in the appeal, but disputes the penalty. He says there is no provision in the Act or Rules for seeking to change the classification. The departmental representative emphasizes that there is no chang...
