Issues: (i) Whether CENVAT credit was admissible on services received through the sub-contractor for execution of the work assigned to the appellant. (ii) Whether penalties could survive once the denial of CENVAT credit was found unsustainable.
Issue (i): Whether CENVAT credit was admissible on services received through the sub-contractor for execution of the work assigned to the appellant.
Analysis: The appellant had received a work order from the principal client and had further assigned the work to a sub-contractor. The work was shown as executed, and a completion certificate was issued by the principal client. The record did not establish that the services were not received by the appellant or that the work was otherwise not executed on its behalf.
Conclusion: CENVAT credit was admissible and could not be denied to the appellant.
Issue (ii): Whether penalties could survive once the denial of CENVAT credit was found unsustainable.
Analysis: The penalties were founded on the denial of credit. Once the credit disallowance failed, the basis for penalty also ceased to exist.
Conclusion: No penalty was imposable on the appellants.
Final Conclusion: The impugned order was set aside and the appeals were allowed with consequential relief.
Ratio Decidendi: Where sub-contracted work is shown to have been executed on behalf of the assessee and the record does not disprove receipt of the services, CENVAT credit cannot be denied merely on an allegation against the issuing entity, and any penalty based solely on such denial cannot survive.
