The ... Cenvat/Modvat - Capital goods Issues: Denial of Modvat credit on capital goods and inputsAnalysis:The appeal before the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT, New Delhi involved the denial of Modvat credit on both capital goods and inputs as detailed in the Order-in-Original. The issue revolved around the denial of credit by the Revenue based on certain grounds.Upon hearing both sides, the Tribunal found that the denial of credit on inputs due to incomplete invoice details was not tenable. It was noted that invoices from the consignment agent of TISCO, accompanied by TISCO's own invoices, contained full particulars regarding duty payment. As there was no dispute regarding the receipt and utilization of inputs by the appellants, they were deemed entitled to Modvat credit on those invoices.Similarly, the Tribunal addressed the denial of credit on capital goods, which included machines for die blocks, dies, wire, and cables. The machines imported by the appellants were used in the manufacture of die blocks, a crucial component for producing final products. Despite no duty being paid on the dies themselves, the appellants were allowed Modvat credit on the machines and die blocks used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, the wires and cables, specifically PVC insulated aluminum wires, were considered essential for the appellants' operations in transmitting electricity to machine motors, making them eligible for credit under the rules.Conclusively, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order, allowing the appeals of the appellants and granting them consequential relief. The judgment highlighted the importance of full particulars in invoices for claiming Modvat credit and recognized the essentiality of capital goods and inputs in the manufacturing process for availing such credits.
