CENVAT credit and service tax on excess baggage charges examined; appeal dismissed for inordinate delay and on merits.
Condonation of a 567-day delay in filing the appeal was found unjustified, resulting in dismissal on delay; the substance addressed CENVAT credit entitlement under rule 14 of the credit rules read with section 11A, levy of penalty for contravention of credit rules, and characterization of excess baggage charges as service tax-able receipts with invocation of suppression provisions for extended period recovery. CESTATs position that a show-cause notice proposing only extended-period demands must be set aside was considered, but the appeal was dismissed on both delay and merits, upholding the tribunals impugned order.
There is a "gross delay of 567 days" in filing the appeal which has not been satisfactorily explained. The Court found "no good reason to interfere with the impugned order dated 03-07-2023 passed by the Customs, Excise & Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi." The appeal is "dismissed on the ground of delay as well as merits." Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
