CESTAT AHMEDABAD: Valuation of goods for excise duty based on Rule 4, not Rule 8
The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD ruled that the valuation of goods under the Central Excise Valuation Rules, 2000 should be based on Rule 4 for captive consumption and sale to independent buyers, not Rule 8. Referring to previous decisions, including Steel Complex Ltd Vs CCE, Calicut, the Tribunal held that Rule 8 does not apply when goods are partly sold under ex-factory basis and partly for captive consumption. As Rule 8 was amended post the relevant period, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal by the Appellant.

Ltd, affirming that valuation for captive consumption and sale to independent buyers should be determined under Rule 4 of the Valuation Rules, 2000, not Rule 8.
