Tribunal allows appeal for Cenvat credit on capital goods installed beyond factory premises
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, allowing the appeal against the denial of Cenvat credit for capital goods installed between the grid of the U.P. State Electricity Board and the factory premises. The denial was overturned based on precedent, establishing that even goods installed outside the factory could qualify as cenvatable capital goods. The Tribunal also rejected the Revenue's appeal on interest and penalty, ultimately disposing of both appeals in favor of the assessee.
Issues: 1. Denial of Cenvat credit for cables and other capital goods laid down between the grid of the U.P. State Electricity Board and the assessee's factory. 2. Cross Objection against denial of Cenvat credit. 3. Whether capital goods installed outside the factory premises are eligible for Cenvat credit.
Analysis:
1. The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the order upholding the denial of Cenvat credit for cables and other capital goods laid down between the grid of the U.P. State Electricity Board and the assessee's factory. The Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the penalty and did not confirm the interest. The assessee also filed a Cross Objection against the denial of Cenvat credit. The Tribunal noted that the denial was based on the grounds that the goods were installed outside the factory premises. However, citing a precedent case, it was argued that such goods, even when installed outside the factory premises, could be considered cenvatable capital goods. The Tribunal held in favor of the assessee, setting aside the demand against them.
2. The Tribunal addressed the Cross Objection filed by the assessee against the denial of Cenvat credit. By referring to a previous Larger Bench decision, it was established that goods like cables and other capital goods laid down en-route the grid and the factory premises for electricity transmission could be considered cenvatable capital goods. Therefore, the denial of credit was deemed unjustifiable, and the confirmation of demand against the assessee was set aside.
3. As the assessee's appeal was allowed, the Tribunal found no merit in the Revenue's appeal concerning interest and penalty. Consequently, the Revenue's appeal was rejected. Both appeals were disposed of accordingly, with the decision in favor of the assessee regarding the eligibility of capital goods installed outside the factory premises for Cenvat credit.
