Issues: Whether capital goods received under Rule 16 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 and on which CENVAT credit was taken could be sent to a job worker without payment of duty under Rule 4(5)(b) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002, and whether duty could be demanded on such removal.
Analysis: Rule 16 permits receipt of duty-paid goods for re-making, refining or re-conditioning and allows credit to be taken as if the goods were received as inputs under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2002. Once the credit is taken under that framework, the movement of the goods is governed by the CENVAT Credit Rules. The Tribunal held that Rule 4(5)(b) applies to removal of capital goods to a job worker, and such removal is legally permissible without payment of duty.
Conclusion: The clearance of the capital goods to the job worker under Rule 4(5)(b) was held to be correct and legal, and the duty demand was held unsustainable, in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The demand and consequential penalty were set aside and the appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: Goods received under Rule 16 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 and treated as creditable under the CENVAT Credit Rules are subject to the CENVAT Credit Rules for further removal, including removal to a job worker without duty under Rule 4(5)(b).
