CESTAT AHMEDABAD grants CENVAT Credit for Rent-a-cab & Gardening services, emphasizing their role in manufacturing.
The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD ruled in favor of the appellant in the case concerning the denial of CENVAT Credit for Rent-a-cab and Gardening services used between 2007-2008 to 2011-2012. The judgment allowed the appellant's appeal, granting them the requested CENVAT Credit of &8377;2,90,599.00. The tribunal found that the services were integral to the manufacturing activity, referencing previous cases supporting the allowance of CENVAT Credit in similar circumstances. The decision highlighted the importance of maintaining a well-kept garden for the working environment and efficiency, ultimately overturning the denial of credit.
Issues: Denial of CENVAT Credit on Rent-a-cab service and Gardening service for the period 2007-2008 to 2011-2012.
The judgment delivered by Mr. P.K. Das at the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT AHMEDABAD pertains to an appeal filed by the appellant against the denial of CENVAT Credit amounting to &8377; 2,90,599.00 for Rent-a-cab service and Gardening service utilized during the period 2007-2008 to 2011-2012. The appellant argued that the Rent-a-cab service was used for transportation of staff members to and from the factory and for various business-related activities. Additionally, the gardening service was employed for pollution control and maintaining the environment of the factory premises. On the contrary, the Ld. Authorized Representative for Revenue contended that these services lacked a direct nexus to the manufacturing activity, with gardening not being essential for pollution control.
Upon reviewing the records and considering the arguments presented, Mr. P.K. Das referenced precedents to support the allowance of CENVAT Credit in similar cases. Citing the case of Mundra Port & SEZ Ltd vs CCE Rajkot, where CENVAT Credit on Rent-a-cab service was permitted under comparable circumstances, and the case of M/s ISMT Ltd Vs CCE Aurangabad, which highlighted the positive impact of a well-maintained garden on the working environment and efficiency, the judgment concluded in favor of the appellant. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, granting the appellant the sought-after CENVAT Credit for the Rent-a-cab and Gardening services utilized during the specified period.
