<h1>CESTAT Bangalore: Favorable Ruling on CENVAT Credit Appeals</h1> <h3>M/s Micro Labs Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Customs And Service Tax Bangalore-LTU</h3> M/s Micro Labs Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Customs And Service Tax Bangalore-LTU - TMI Issues:Interpretation of Rule 3(7)(a) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 regarding availing CENVAT credit on inputs procured from 100% EOU.Analysis:The judgment by Archana Wadhwa, Member (J), of the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Bangalore addressed the common issue in multiple appeals concerning the availing of CENVAT credit on inputs procured from a 100% EOU. The appellants had adopted a formula under Rule 3(7)(a) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 to calculate the credit, considering the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) as leviable, not the actual amount paid by the 100% EOU. The Revenue objected, stating that the formula should reflect the BCD actually paid by the EOU, not the BCD leviable on similar goods if imported into India.The Tribunal, referring to a precedent decision in the case of S.V. Sales Corporation, held that the BCD mentioned in the formula pertains to the BCD leviable on similar goods if imported into India. This interpretation was consistent with previous Tribunal decisions. Therefore, based on the earlier rulings and the precedent, the impugned order was set aside, and all appeals were allowed in favor of the appellants. The judgment provided consequential relief to the appellants, resolving the issue in their favor.
