Appellant wins appeal over CENVAT credit reversal for polypropylene co-polymer inputs.
The Tribunal found in favor of the appellant, holding that the demand for payment equivalent to 6% of the value of cleared goods was unsustainable. The appellant's contention that polypropylene co-polymer (PPCP) was inputs and no reversal of CENVAT credit was required for clearing inputs as such was upheld. The Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal.
Issues: Whether the appellant is required to pay an amount equivalent to 6% of the value of the goods cleared, which the department claims as trading activity or otherwise.
Analysis: The appeal was against an order demanding payment equivalent to 6% of the value of goods cleared by the appellant, alleging trading activity. The appellant, a battery manufacturer, procured polypropylene co-polymer (PPCP) on which duty was discharged and CENVAT credit availed. The appellant cleared PPCP to vendors for conversion to battery components, reversing CENVAT credit on invoices. The department issued a show cause notice demanding payment, contending the activity amounted to trading. The adjudicating authority confirmed the demand, and penalties were imposed. The first appellate authority upheld the demand for reversing the amount attributable to PPCP clearances under Rule 6(3A) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, remanding the matter. However, the appellate authority misdirected findings, as the appellant's contention that PPCP was inputs, supported by a previous order, was accepted by the Revenue. The Tribunal's ratio favored the appellant, stating that if inputs were cleared as such, no reversal of CENVAT credit was required. The Tribunal held the impugned order unsustainable and allowed the appeal.
In conclusion, the Tribunal found in favor of the appellant, holding that the demand for payment equivalent to 6% of the value of cleared goods was unsustainable. The appellant's contention that PPCP was inputs and no reversal of CENVAT credit was required for clearing inputs as such was upheld. The Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal.
