Tribunal upholds excise duty demand on parts for Fume Extraction System, dismisses appeal, sets aside penalty
The Tribunal confirmed the central excise duty demand on parts supplied for manufacturing a Fume Extraction System, ruling that the chimney shells were excisable. M/s. Isha Engg. & Fabricators' appeal was dismissed as they manufactured and marketed the parts, establishing excise liability. However, M/s. KTMS Engg. Pvt. Ltd.'s penalty was set aside as their role was not specified, and mere awareness of excise liability was insufficient for penalty imposition. The judgment was delivered on 23/03/2017.
Issues: Central excise duty demand on parts supplied by one company to another for manufacturing a Fume Extraction System, determination of excisability of chimney shells, imposition of penalties on the companies.
In this case, M/s. Isha Engg. & Fabricators (IEF) and M/s. KTMS Engg. Pvt. Ltd. were involved in manufacturing articles of iron and steel, specifically parts of a Fume Extraction System. A demand for central excise duty was initially dropped by the adjudicating authority but was later confirmed by the Commissioner (Appeals), along with penalties. The main argument presented was regarding the excisability of the chimney shells manufactured by IEF, with reference to previous tribunal decisions and CBEC circulars. The Tribunal noted that IEF manufactured the parts on a job work basis in their factory, following designs provided by KTMS, and subsequently supplied them to Bharat Forge Ltd. Unlike previous cases where goods were not marketable, in this instance, the goods were manufactured and marketed by IEF, establishing their marketability and thus excise liability. Consequently, the appeal of IEF was dismissed. On the other hand, regarding KTMS, the Tribunal found that no specific role was identified in the order, and the penalty imposed was deemed insufficient as mere awareness of excise liability was not enough for penalty imposition. Therefore, the penalty on KTMS was set aside, and their appeal was allowed. The judgment was pronounced on 23/03/2017 by the Tribunal.
