Issues: Whether the show cause notice for recovery of credit on capital goods was served within the six-month limitation prescribed under Rule 57U of the Central Excise Rules, 1944.
Analysis: The demand related to credit taken on capital goods under the Modvat scheme. Rule 57U permitted recovery of such credit by notice served within six months from the date on which the credit was taken. On the facts found, the credit was taken on or after 1-8-1994 and the show cause notice was served on 12-1-1995. The notice was therefore within six months of the credit taken, and the challenge based on limitation failed.
Conclusion: The notice was not time-barred and the demand was valid. The finding was against the assessee.
