Issues: Whether the appellant's research and development unit was entitled to exemption under Notification No. 167/71-CE dated 11.09.1971 on the basis that the goods were produced during the course of research and the unit had been recognised as an in-house R&D unit.
Analysis: Notification No. 167/71-CE grants full exemption to excisable goods produced in a research institute during the course of carrying out research, subject to satisfaction of the Assistant Commissioner and production of the required certificate. The recognition letter issued by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research established that the appellant's unit had been accorded recognition as an in-house R&D unit. On that basis, the goods cleared from the unit were found to have been produced during the course of research, satisfying the notification conditions.
Conclusion: The appellant was entitled to the benefit of the exemption notification, and the denial of exemption was unsustainable.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded and the impugned order was set aside, resulting in exemption being made available to the appellant for the goods produced from the recognised research unit.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a recognised in-house research and development unit produces goods in the course of carrying out research, the exemption under the applicable notification cannot be denied merely on a commercial-purpose objection if the notification conditions are otherwise satisfied.
