Issues: Whether, where the same goods were sold both to a related buyer and to independent buyers at the same price, the value for related-party clearances could be determined by adopting 110% of cost of production under Rule 9, or whether the value of the independent sales had to be adopted under Rule 11 read with Section 4 of the Central Excise Act, 1944.
Analysis: The goods were sold to the related buyer and to independent buyers at the same rate. In such a situation, Rule 9, which addresses valuation where sales are to related persons, does not govern the matter in a mechanical way. The residuary Rule 11 applies, and the assessable value can be worked out by reference to the normal price/transaction value of sales to independent buyers. The authority below erred in treating the Board Circular as requiring adoption of 110% of cost of production. The cited judicial authorities support the view that, in cases of partial sales to related and independent buyers, the value of the independent sales is the proper basis for related-party clearances.
Conclusion: The differential duty confirmed by adopting 110% of cost of production was not sustainable, and the demand was set aside.
Ratio Decidendi: Where identical goods are sold both to related persons and to independent buyers at the same price, valuation of the related-party clearances must be determined by reference to the normal price of the independent sales under Rule 11 read with Section 4, and Rule 9 cannot be applied to adopt cost-based valuation.
