Issues: Whether coated abrasive used for smoothening wooden articles was an input eligible for MODVAT credit or was excluded as a tool under the explanation to Rule 57A of the Central Excise Rules.
Analysis: The coated abrasive was used either manually or mounted on machinery for smoothening wood and wooden articles. On its actual use, it functioned as a tool or part of the machine and not as a mere consumable item. The exclusion in the explanation to Rule 57A covered such tools, and the nature of use brought the item within that exclusion.
Conclusion: The coated abrasive was not eligible for MODVAT credit and the Revenue's appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: An item used as a tool or as part of machinery for processing goods falls outside MODVAT entitlement under the exclusion in Rule 57A of the Central Excise Rules.
