CENVAT credit allowed on input services for captive mines distributed through ISD invoices under Rule 3
CESTAT Kolkata allowed the appeal, holding that the appellant was entitled to CENVAT credit on input services for captive mines distributed via ISD invoices. The tribunal found that since both mines and manufacturing units belonged to the same legal entity engaged in steel manufacture, and the captive mines served as integral links to steel plants, input services like security, mining, and transportation bore direct nexus with final product manufacturing. Rule 3 of CCR only requires services to be used in relation to manufacture, not necessarily received at manufacturing premises. The demand for reversal of CENVAT credit with interest and penalty was unsustainable.
Issues Involved: The appeal against the Order-in-Original confirming demand of CENVAT credit on input services from captive mines.
Summary: The Appellant, engaged in manufacturing Iron and Steel products, appealed against the demand of Rs. 8,82,11,067/- along with interest and penalty for availing CENVAT credit on input services from captive mines. The Appellant argued that the mines are integral to the manufacturing units, both belonging to the same legal entity, and the services availed at the mines are directly linked to the manufacturing of final products. The Tribunal found that the Appellant is entitled to avail credit of service tax paid on input services received at the mines, as these services are used in or in relation to the manufacture of final products. The Tribunal referred to a similar case where credit was allowed for services received at captive mines, emphasizing the integrated nature of the mines and manufacturing units.
The Tribunal observed that the Appellant, being part of the same legal entity as the mines, is eligible to avail CENVAT Credit of input services from captive mines distributed via ISD invoices. The Tribunal highlighted that the denial of credit by the lower authority was unsustainable, citing precedents where credit for services received at captive mines was allowed. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal filed by the Appellant.
