of <h1>Tribunal clarifies duty eligibility criteria for materials vs. consumables under notification</h1> <h3>Eurotex Industries & Exports Ltd Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Pune – II</h3> Eurotex Industries & Exports Ltd Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Pune – II - TMI Issues involved:Eligibility for concessional rate of duty under notification no. 8/97-CE dated 1st March 1997.Analysis:Issue 1: Eligibility for concessional rate of dutyThe issue revolved around the eligibility of M/s Eurotex Industries & Exports Ltd. for the concessional rate of duty under notification no. 8/97-CE dated 1st March 1997. The appellant, a 100% Export Oriented Unit manufacturing cotton yarn, claimed to maintain separate records for export and domestic clearance. The demand for differential duty was based on the use of imported paper cones and wax rolls for manufacturing yarn cleared domestically. The appellant argued that domestically procured cones and wax rolls were used, and even if imported materials were used, the entitlement to clear at the concessional rate could not be denied as the requirement of domestic procurement in the exemption notification was limited to raw materials. The Tribunal referred to previous judgments and tests by the Apex Court to determine the nature of imported materials as raw materials. The Tribunal emphasized the distinction between consumables and raw materials, ultimately remanding the matter back to the original authority to determine if domestically cleared yarn was manufactured from domestically procured materials, including consumables.Conclusion:The Tribunal, comprising Dr. Satish Chandra and Mr. C J Mathew, addressed the issue of eligibility for concessional rate of duty under notification no. 8/97-CE dated 1st March 1997. The judgment highlighted the importance of differentiating between raw materials and consumables in determining eligibility for the concessional rate of duty. The decision emphasized the need for the original authority to ascertain if domestically cleared yarn was manufactured from domestically procured materials, including consumables, before passing a fresh order.
