Issues: (i) Whether the duty demand on computer systems supplied under an exemption notification was sustainable after the essentiality certificate and related Form-B stood cancelled; (ii) whether the assessee was entitled to the benefit of cum-duty price.
Issue (i): Whether the duty demand on computer systems supplied under an exemption notification was sustainable after the essentiality certificate and related Form-B stood cancelled.
Analysis: The essentiality certificate was originally issued for clearance without payment of duty under Notification No. 10/97-C.E. dated 01.03.1997, but it was subsequently cancelled. The cancellation order also specifically recorded that the earlier Form-B issued for availing customs and excise duty exemption stood cancelled. In view of this cancellation, the exemption basis for clearance without duty no longer survived.
Conclusion: The duty demand was rightly confirmed and is sustained, in favour of Revenue.
Issue (ii): Whether the assessee was entitled to the benefit of cum-duty price.
Analysis: The assessee sought the benefit of cum-duty valuation as a consequential relief notwithstanding the confirmation of duty demand. The relief was separately considered and accepted.
Conclusion: The benefit of cum-duty price was allowed, in favour of the Assessee.
Final Conclusion: The duty demand was upheld, but the assessee received limited relief by way of cum-duty price.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the exemption foundation is cancelled, duty liability can be sustained, while consequential valuation relief such as cum-duty price may still be granted.
