Issues: Whether conversion of manufactured soluble glass into liquid sodium silicate constituted "manufacture" so as to entitle the assessee to concessional rate of tax under S.R.O. No. 1091 of 1999.
Analysis: The definition of "manufacture" under the relevant notification required the use of raw materials and production of goods commercially different from the raw materials used, while excluding mere conversion of one form of the same goods into another. The records showed that the soluble glass had been manufactured outside the State and that the assessee only converted that manufactured sodium silicate into liquid sodium silicate. Since both before and after conversion the goods remained sodium silicate in different forms, the activity did not amount to manufacture for the purpose of the concession.
Conclusion: The assessee was not entitled to the concessional rate of tax, and the assessment at 12 per cent was upheld.
Final Conclusion: The revision failed on merits because the activity undertaken by the assessee did not satisfy the statutory concept of manufacture for availing the reduced tax rate.
Ratio Decidendi: A process that merely converts goods from one form to another, without producing commercially different goods from raw materials used within the meaning of the notification, does not constitute manufacture for concessional tax treatment.
