Issues: Whether penalty under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 read with the CENVAT Credit Rules was sustainable where the dispute arose from non-compliance with Rule 6 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 in relation to common inputs and input services.
Analysis: The demand and interest had already been paid and the controversy had reached the third round of litigation. The dispute was essentially one of interpretation of Rule 6 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. The material on record did not establish wilful suppression, fraud, or misstatement of facts so as to justify the penal consequence. The cited decisions on similar reversals of credit and procedural lapse were treated as applicable to the case.
Conclusion: Penalty under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 was not sustainable and was set aside.
