Regarding the credit of Rs. 1,087.97, it was taken within the prescribed time but based on an invoice with a different consignee name. The appellants failed to provide evidence that the mentioned consignee did not avail the credit, leading to the denial of this credit as well.Issue 2 - Modvat Credit Disallowance on CVD:The appellants claimed Modvat credit of Rs. 16,48,659/- on CVD paid on imported inputs, which was also disallowed due to being time-barred under Rule 57G(2).
