Appellant granted waiver on duty & interest due to absence of retail sale price on pre-packaged goods /2010
The Tribunal granted the appellant's request for a waiver of pre-deposit of duty and interest amounting to Rs. 16,93,84,353/-, as the benefit of Notification No.29/2010 could not be denied due to the absence of a retail sale price on pre-packaged goods. The recovery of dues was stayed during the appeal process.
Issues: - Waiver of pre-deposit of duty and interest under Notification No.29/2010 - Denial of benefit of Notification No.29/2010 due to availing exemption under Notification No.6/2006 - Interpretation of Notification No.29/2010 regarding nil rate of duty for pre-packaged goods intended for retail sale - Requirement of affixing retail sale price on pre-packaged goods as per DGFT notification
Analysis: The appellant sought a waiver of pre-deposit of duty amounting to Rs. 16,93,84,353/- and interest, which was confirmed after being denied the benefit of Notification No.29/2010 due to availing exemption under Notification No.6/2006. The issue revolved around the interpretation of Notification No.29/2010, which provides a nil rate of duty for pre-packaged goods intended for retail sale. The Tribunal noted that the goods in question were pre-packaged and, as per a DGFT notification, all pre-packaged commodities are required to have a retail sale price affixed. Therefore, the Tribunal held that the benefit of Notification No.29/2010 could not be denied on the grounds of not having a retail sale price affixed. Consequently, the pre-deposit of dues was waived, and recovery of the same was stayed during the pendency of the appeal, thereby allowing the stay petition.
In conclusion, the Tribunal's decision centered on the correct interpretation of Notification No.29/2010 and the requirement to affix retail sale prices on pre-packaged goods as per DGFT regulations. The Tribunal found that since the goods in question were pre-packaged, the benefit of the notification could not be denied based on the absence of a retail sale price. As a result, the appellant's request for a waiver of pre-deposit of duty and interest was granted, and recovery of the dues was stayed pending the appeal process.
