Tribunal Ruling: Sugar Manufacturer Wins Appeal Against 6% Bagasse Value Demand Under CENVAT Credit Rules.
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, a sugar and molasses manufacturer, by setting aside the demand for 6% of the value of bagasse under Rule 6(3) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. Citing a High Court judgment, the Tribunal confirmed that Rule 6 is inapplicable to bagasse, thus allowing the appeal with consequential relief.
Issues: Challenge to demand of 6% of the value of bagasse under Rule 6(3) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.
Analysis: The appellant, engaged in sugar and molasses manufacture, sold bagasse without duty payment. Revenue argued for 6% value demand due to lack of separate account maintenance for dutiable and exempted products inputs/services. The appellant contested, citing a High Court judgment (Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd v. Union of India) where Rule 6 was deemed inapplicable to bagasse.
The Tribunal noted the settled High Court stance that Rule 6 doesn't cover bagasse. Quoting the High Court's view on the matter, the Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, negating the 6% value demand. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal allowed with consequential relief.
