Issues: Whether Education Cess was leviable on imports made under the DEPB scheme when the goods were fully exempt from Customs duty.
Analysis: The issue was treated as already settled by binding precedent. The imported goods were brought in under the DEPB scheme without payment of duty, and the governing principle applied was that where no Customs duty is leviable or collected because of a full exemption, Education Cess at the prescribed rate cannot be separately levied. The earlier High Court view on the point had also been affirmed.
Conclusion: Education Cess was not leviable on the exempt DEPB imports, and the Revenue's appeals failed.
