Issues: Whether plastic granules used only for testing fully manufactured extrusion machines before clearance qualified as inputs used in or in relation to the manufacture of the final product for the purpose of MODVAT credit under Rule 57A.
Analysis: Rule 57A permits credit only on goods used in or in relation to the manufacture of the final product. The plastic granules in question were not used as materials forming part of the machine or during its manufacture, but only after the machine was fully manufactured, for testing whether it functioned properly and had no defects. Goods used merely to test a finished machine do not satisfy the requirement of being inputs used in or in relation to manufacture, and the MODVAT scheme does not extend to such post-manufacture testing materials.
Conclusion: The plastic granules were not eligible inputs for MODVAT credit under Rule 57A, and the departmental appeal succeeded.
Final Conclusion: Credit under the MODVAT scheme was denied for materials used solely for testing a completed machine, as such materials were not regarded as inputs in or in relation to manufacture.
Ratio Decidendi: Materials used only after completion of manufacture for testing a finished product are not inputs used in or in relation to manufacture for MODVAT purposes.
