S. Narendra Kumar and Co. Vs. Commissioner of C. Ex.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-04-2002

Reported in: (2002)LC879Tri(Mum.)bai

1. The question for consideration in this appeal is the classification of the product known as Jaljira powder that the appellant manufactured and whether the extended period of limitation will be available to the department.2. The counsel for the appellant bases his case on limitation and does not wish to go into the merits. He contends that the appellant in the classification list that it filed on 30-3-1994 had classified Jaljira powder as a spice in heading 09.03 of the Tariff claiming the exemption contained in Notification 2/94. The basis for the Notice dated 26-9-2000 demanding duty on clearances between July, 1999 to September, 1999 is only that the appellant claimed wrong classification and has thus wilfully misstated the facts. The appellant had classified the goods bona fide. There is nothing to show that it wilfully suppressed any fact and therefore the extended period will not apply.3. The departmental representative emphasises that the classification list that the appellan...

Datar Switchgear Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of C. Ex. and Cus.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-04-2002

Reported in: (2003)(153)ELT106Tri(Mum.)bai

1. Datar Switchgear Ltd., the manufacturer of excisable goods had taken under Rule 57Q credit of the duty paid on capital goods that it received for the manufacture of its final product. The notice issued to it in June 1996 by the jurisdictional Superintendent demanded duty of Rs. 777 lakhs approx. on the capital goods that it removed from the factory on the ground that in terms of the Sub-rule (1) of Rule 575, the credit that was taken should have been reversed. Penalty under Rule 173Q was also proposed. By a subsequent corrigendum issued on 10-12-96 by the Commissioner, imposition of penalty under Section 11AC and recovery of interest under Section 11AB was also proposed. In its reply, the appellant contended that the credit taken of the duty paid on capital goods had already been utilised in the finished excisable goods. It had not cleared the capital goods for home consumption, but shifted them to another of its plant and hence the provisions of sub-rule (1) of Rule 57S were not a...

1. This appeal has been filed by the assessee against the order dated 6.3.96 passed Under Section 263 of the IT Act by the CIT, Mumbai City-IX, Mumbai. The relevant facts leading to passing of the impugned order, briefly stated, are that assessment for the AY 92-93 was completed Under Section 143(3) of the IT Act on 29.3.94 at a total income of Rs. 87,31,050/-, after allowing deduction of Rs. 1,18,25,582 Under Section 80 HHC of the IT Act. On a perusal of records, the CIT observed that while computing the deduction Under Section HHC, the AO did not deduct supervision charges of Rs. 1,45,38,373/- received by the assessee, from the business profits before computing deduction Under Section 80 HHC. The CIT was of the view that as per Clause (baa) of the explanation to Section 80 HHC, supervision charges were required to be reduced from the business profits. But, the AO did not consider this issue at all. The learned CIT observed that as per the mandatory provisions of Section 80 HHC, 90% ...
