Issues: Whether penalty for non-filing of ER-6 returns under the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 could be imposed under the Central Excise Rules, 2002, and whether the penalty was liable to be restricted to the general penalty provided under the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.
Analysis: The default found against the appellant was the failure to file ER-6 returns required under Rule 9A(3) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. For a contravention of the Cenvat Credit Rules for which no specific penalty is provided, Rule 15A prescribes a general penalty up to Rs. 5,000. The penalties imposed under Rule 27 and Rule 12(6) of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 were held to be impermissible for a violation governed by the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.
Conclusion: The penalty under the Central Excise Rules, 2002 was set aside and replaced by a penalty of Rs. 5,000 under Rule 15A of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.
