Issues: Whether, under Rule 57H of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, Modvat credit could be allowed not only on inputs lying in stock but also on inputs already used in the manufacture of final products cleared on or after 1-3-1987, and whether such credit required only physical verification of inputs in stock.
Analysis: Rule 57H, as it then stood, permitted credit of duty paid on inputs received immediately before the dated acknowledgement of the declaration if the inputs were either lying in stock or were received after filing the declaration, and also if such inputs were used in the manufacture of final products cleared from the factory on or after 1-3-1987. Once clause (ii) was in force, inputs embedded in processed material or in final products could not be verified by physical inspection of inputs alone. Such entitlement had to be ascertained from the records showing utilisation of inputs in the final products cleared on or after the relevant date. The factual finding of the Assistant Collector regarding stock, processed material, and final products was not shown to be incorrect.
Conclusion: The objection that Modvat credit was confined to physically verifiable stock was rejected, and credit was held admissible on the basis of records for inputs used in cleared final products as well as inputs in stock. The assessee succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the governing credit provision expressly covers inputs used in final products cleared after the specified date, entitlement to credit may be established from accounting and stock records and is not confined to physical verification of inputs in hand.
