of <h1>Tribunal overturns duty demand and penalties for alleged waste removal, ruling in favor of manufacturing company.</h1> <h3>M/s Rajasthan Cylinders & Containers Ltd. Versus CCE, Jaipur</h3> M/s Rajasthan Cylinders & Containers Ltd. Versus CCE, Jaipur - 2016 (338) E.L.T. 605 (Tri. - Del.) Issues: Alleged clandestine removal of waste and scrap, demand of duty, confirmation of interest, imposition of penaltyIn this case, the appellant, engaged in the manufacture of LPG cylinder and other products, was accused of clandestine removal of waste generated in their factory. The Central Excise Anti Evasion Officer recovered slips indicating the clearance of scrap without payment of duty, leading to a show cause notice for duty demand amounting to Rs. 57,950. The lower authorities confirmed the demand, imposed penalties, and upheld the order. The appellant contended that the cleared scrap was not excisable waste but packing material scrap, citing a Supreme Court decision. They argued that dutiable waste generated during production was cleared after paying duty. The Revenue relied on the statement of the appellant's representative admitting clearance of scrap without duty payment during factory cleaning. However, the tribunal found the statement insufficient to prove clandestine removal, noting the lack of evidence on when and to whom the goods were cleared. The appellant's assertion of clearing dutiable waste with duty payment was unchallenged by the Revenue, weakening their case. Consequently, the tribunal set aside the impugned orders, allowing the appeals with any consequential relief.
