Tribunal reverses disallowance of CENVAT credit due to inadequate assessment of disclosure & credit reversal.
The Tribunal set aside the disallowance of CENVAT credit for March 2012, amounting to Rs. 39,50,999, due to insufficient consideration of the appellant's disclosure and regular reversal of credit in proportion to trading volume. The matter was remanded for verification of the reversal claim and accuracy of credit computation, highlighting the lower authorities' failure to adequately assess the disclosed information.
Issues: Disallowance of CENVAT credit for March 2012 due to commercial benefits derived from advertising for sale of traded goods.
In this case, the dispute revolved around the disallowance of CENVAT credit amounting to Rs. 39,50,999 for March 2012, along with interest and penalty, imposed by the original authority and confirmed in the order-in-appeal by the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals), Pune I. The appellant, a company engaged in manufacturing and trading activities, had availed CENVAT credit on advertisement services. The jurisdiction authorities deemed a portion of the credit ineligible due to commercial benefits from advertising for the sale of traded goods. The appellant argued that they had been regularly reversing CENVAT credit in proportion to trading volume and had disclosed the reversed amount in their ST-3 returns for 2011-12. However, both lower authorities failed to consider this submission, leading to an erroneous confirmation of the demand for recovery.
Upon review, it was observed that the lower authorities had not adequately considered the information provided during the hearing regarding the ST-3 returns for the relevant financial year. The failure to verify the disclosures made in the returns, which included the reversal of CENVAT credit, and to compare them with the proportion of sales related to trading activities was highlighted. The Tribunal found this oversight to be crucial, as it led to an inappropriate conclusion by the lower authorities that the CENVAT credit was wrongly availed. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded back to the original authority for verification of the appellant's claim regarding the reversal of CENVAT credit and the accuracy of the computation of the reversed credit. The appeal was disposed of based on these terms.
