Appellant's Improper Cenvat Credit Use Results in Dismissal under Amnesty Scheme
The appellant wrongly availed Cenvat credit on their own supplementary invoices, breaching Rule 9 of the Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004. The Adjudicating Authority, Commissioner (Appeals), and Hon'ble CESTAT affirmed the demand, interest, and penalty. The appellant later opted for benefits under the Amnesty Scheme, 2019, leading to the withdrawal of the appeal, which was dismissed accordingly.
Issues: 1. Availment of Cenvat credit on own supplementary invoices in contravention of Rule 9 of Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004. 2. Dismissal of appeal by Commissioner (Appeals) and Hon'ble CESTAT upholding the orders passed by the Adjudicating Authority.
Analysis: Issue 1: The appellant, engaged in manufacturing Stainless Steel Tubes and Pipes, wrongly availed Cenvat credit amounting to Rs. 5,63,909 on their own supplementary invoices, deemed impermissible under Rule 9 of the Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004. A Show Cause Notice was issued in 2010, leading to confirmation of demand, interest, and penalty by the Adjudicating Authority in 2011. The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld this decision in 2013, which was further affirmed by Hon'ble CESTAT in 2018.
Issue 2: During the hearing, the appellant submitted an affidavit dated 30.11.2019, indicating the availing of benefits under the Amnesty Scheme, 2019. As a result, the appellant expressed the intention to withdraw the present appeal. The respondent's counsel did not object to this request, leading to the dismissal of the appeal as withdrawn.
In conclusion, the judgment reflects the appellant's improper availment of Cenvat credit on own supplementary invoices, leading to a series of legal proceedings culminating in the withdrawal of the appeal following the appellant's acceptance under the Amnesty Scheme, 2019.
