Tribunal overturns order on export obligations, remands for fresh review with EODC, giving 3-month deadline.
The Tribunal set aside the impugned order in a case concerning the appellant's failure to fulfill export obligations under an EPCG License. The appeal was allowed for remand to the adjudicating authority, with directions to reconsider the matter in light of the Export Obligation Discharge Certificate (EODC) issued by DGFT. The adjudicating authority was instructed to issue a fresh order within three months from the Tribunal's decision, leaving all issues open for consideration.
Issues: Appellant's failure to fulfill export obligation under EPCG License.
Analysis: The appellant's counsel argued that the demand was confirmed due to the appellant's failure to meet the export obligation under the EPCG License. The counsel informed that the appellant was pursuing the matter with DGFT for the fulfillment of Export Obligation Discharge Certificate (EODC) and requested time for the same. However, the adjudicating authority proceeded with the order without waiting for the submission. Subsequently, the EODC was received after the Commissioner (Appeals) passed the order, which was not considered by the lower authorities.
The revenue's representative reiterated the findings of the impugned order and mentioned that during adjudication, the license was lost, and a duplicate copy was obtained from DGFT.
Upon reviewing the submissions from both sides, the Tribunal noted that the crux of the case revolved around the appellant's failure to fulfill the export obligation under the EPCG scheme. The Tribunal acknowledged that the EODC issued by DGFT was obtained post the impugned order. Consequently, the Tribunal deemed it necessary for the adjudicating authority to reconsider the entire matter in light of the EODC issued by DGFT.
In conclusion, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed for remand to the adjudicating authority, with all issues left open for consideration. The adjudicating authority was directed to pass a fresh order within three months from the date of the Tribunal's decision.
