The notification granted partial exemption to these goods subject to the condition that the excise duty or the additional customs duty had been paid on the copper used in the manufacture of such goods.The department was of the view that such duty was not paid and that additional customs duty had not been paid on the imported copper used in the manufacture of the goods and issued notice asking the assessee to show cause why a fresh classification list, apparently without claiming the benefit of notification, should not be filed.

Reported in: (2000)(121)ELT529Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The appellant asked for and obtained permission in 1971 to avail of the procedure under Rule 56A. This procedure, very briefly permits the manufacturer to take credit of the duty paid on goods used by him in its manufacturing activities, to be utilised by him towards payment of duty on final product in which these goods are utilised. The appellant was granted permission to avail of the procedure in respect of duty paid on soap noodles manufactured by M/s. Hindustan Lever Ltd., Bombay which the appellant converted into cakes. It appears that because of difficulties encountered with the department with regard to this procedure, the appellant in November 1982 chose to avail of procedure under Rule 56B, by means of which the noodles in question were cleared from the manufacturer's factory in bond without payment of duty. The permission granted under Rule 56A subsisted and was not cancelled.2. The Modvat scheme incorporated in Rules 57 A to 57-1 came into force from 1-3-1986. The appell...
