Decided on: Sep-23-2010

Per : Ashok Jindal Heard both sides. 2. The Revenue had filed these appeals against the orders of the Commissioner (Appeals) who reduced the redemption fine and penalties imposed by the adjudicating authority. 3.

Per: Mr. S.S. Kang, Vice President 1. Heard both sides. 2. The appellant filed this appeal against the impugned order whereby the demand is confirmed in view of the provisions of Rule 6 (3) (b) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. The appellants are availing credit in respect of the common inputs used in the manufacture of goods cleared on payment of duty as well as exempted goods. The appellants are reversing the credit on pro-rata basis or in some cases have not availed the credit. 3. The case of the Revenue is that as the appellants are not maintaining separate accounts in respect of inputs used in the manufacture of exempted goods, therefore, as per the provisions of Rule 6 (3) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, the appellants are liable to pay 10% of the price of the exempted goods. 4.
