Issues: Whether freight and transit insurance charges were includible in the assessable value, and whether the place of removal was the factory gate or the buyer's premises.
Analysis: The contract terms and purchase orders showed ex-works delivery and that insurance during transit was arranged on behalf of the customers, with risk covering the goods from the manufacturer's premises until arrival at the customer's premises. The circular relied upon dealt with valuation where goods are sold from depots or other places of removal and did not establish that the buyer's premises is itself the place of removal. The provisions of the Sale of Goods Act were applied to hold that delivery to the transporter at the factory gate amounted to delivery to the buyer and that transfer of property and possession occurred at that point. Transit insurance by the manufacturer did not determine ownership or alter the place of sale.
Conclusion: Freight and transit insurance charges were not includible in the assessable value, and the place of removal was the factory gate. The Revenue's appeal was rejected.
Final Conclusion: The valuation dispute was decided in favour of the assessee by treating removal as having taken place at the factory gate, with no addition of freight or transit insurance to the assessable value.
Ratio Decidendi: Where goods are sold on ex-works terms and delivered to the transporter at the factory gate, transit insurance and freight do not form part of assessable value merely because the seller bears transit risk or arranges insurance.
