No. 86 for the clearance of 3,500 MTs of kraft paper and later started paying duty at the rate of 12% under Sl. No. 86A. The department contended that the appellant cannot avail the benefit of Sl. No. 86A after already availing the benefit under Sl. No. 86. The Adjudicating Authority confirmed the demands, but set aside the penalties. The appellant argued that conditions of Sl.

No. 86A cannot be denied as there is no restriction on such availment. The Tribunal allowed the appeals, setting aside the orders-in-appeal.
