The appeal by the Revenue against the Order-in-Appeal setting aside the duty demand based on insurance charges collected from purchasers was rejected.

The judgment affirmed the setting aside of the duty demand related to insurance charges, emphasizing the delivery point for duty calculation.
Issues: Appeal against OIA setting aside demand of duty based on insurance charges collected from purchasers.
Analysis: The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the Order-in-Appeal (OIA) setting aside the demand of duty amounting to Rs. 1,07,581/- imposed on the respondent. The first appellate authority had set aside the demand on the grounds that the duty was confirmed by the adjudicating authority based on insurance charges collected by the respondent from their purchasers. Despite the absence of representation from the respondent, the issue was taken up for disposal due to its narrow scope.
The facts were undisputed that the respondent sold goods from the factory gate, collected insurance charges, and paid them to the insurance company on behalf of their purchasers. The first appellate authority, in setting aside the demand, relied on the case laws and a circular by the Board which clarified that insurance charges were not includible in the duty calculation based on the delivery taking place at the buyer's end. The first appellate authority's decision was deemed correct as it followed the Tribunal's decision upheld by the Supreme Court in a similar case.
The Tribunal found no fault with the first appellate authority's conclusion as it was based on established legal principles and the specific circumstances of the case. The impugned order was deemed correct, legal, and free from any infirmity, leading to the rejection of the appeal. The judgment was dictated and pronounced in court, affirming the decision to uphold the first appellate authority's order setting aside the duty demand related to insurance charges collected from purchasers.
