Appeal Partially Allowed: Penalty Set Aside, Amended Law Applied; Adjudicating Authority to Address Demand & Interest.
The appellant's partial appeal was allowed, with the CESTAT setting aside the penalty imposed by the original authority. The first appellate authority's decision to apply amended law under Notification No. 28/2018 was upheld. The Adjudicating Authority was directed to address the differential demand and interest payment, with the appeal disposed of on these terms.
Issues involved: Interpretation of Rule 6(3)(i) of CCR, 2004 regarding CENVAT credit on common input services used for both manufacturing and trading activities; Dispute over the trading activity of the appellant and the quantum of credit availed.
Summary:
Interpretation of Rule 6(3)(i) of CCR, 2004: The Revenue contended that the appellant, engaged in manufacturing motor vehicle parts and trading investments, needed to maintain separate accounts for CENVAT credit on common input services. Failure to do so would violate Rule 6(3)(i) of CCR, 2004. The appellant argued they did not use common input services for output services, hence Rule 6(3)(i) was inapplicable. The burden is on the noticee to respond to statutory notices, with the onus shifting to the department once initial evidence is provided. The appellant's defense regarding investment in shares being related to manufacturing activity was noted, but the existence of trading activities was acknowledged. The original authority demanded credit on common input services for trading activity, which was later revised by the first appellate authority in line with the amended law under Notification No. 28/2018.
Dispute over trading activity and quantum of credit: The trading activity by the appellant was disputed, with the burden of proof on the noticee to refute allegations. The first appellate authority's adoption of the amended law was deemed appropriate, and no penalty was imposed. The appeal was allowed in part, setting aside the penalty imposition and directing the Adjudicating Authority to handle the differential demand and interest payment. The appeal was disposed of accordingly on the specified terms.
