Issues: Whether the respondent, having reversed the Modvat credit before clearance of the goods for export, was liable to pay interest or could be said to have contravened the conditions of Notification No. 203/92-Cus.
Analysis: The dispute turned on whether any legal basis existed to demand interest on credit that had already been reversed before export clearance. The reversal having taken place prior to clearance meant that the condition of the notification stood complied with and no contravention could be attributed. In the absence of any provision authorising recovery of interest on such reversed credit, the revenue's claim could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The demand for interest was not maintainable and there was no contravention of the notification conditions; the decision was in favour of the assessee.
