Issues: Whether the assessee was entitled to deemed Modvat credit under Notification No. 208/83-C.E. dated 1-8-1983 and whether the burden to establish the applicability of the notification and its exceptions lay on the assessee or the Revenue.
Analysis: The Court relied on the binding law that, in cases involving deemed Modvat credit and conditional exemption, the assessee must take a definite stand and cooperate by producing relevant material, but the Revenue must verify the claim and establish that the exception is attracted. It was held that where the exemption depends on satisfaction of conditions, the mere existence of the notification does not by itself prove that the inputs are clearly recognizable as non-duty paid or chargeable to nil rate of duty. The Court followed the Supreme Court's view that the burden cannot be placed entirely on the purchaser to prove actual duty payment in such a context.
Conclusion: The assessee was entitled to the benefit of deemed Modvat credit, and the Revenue's challenge failed.
Ratio Decidendi: In claims for deemed Modvat credit under a conditional exemption notification, the assessee must assert and support the claim, but the Revenue bears the burden of proving that the statutory conditions or exceptions that defeat the credit are actually satisfied.
