Issues: Whether Modvat credit was admissible on the duty-paid raw materials used for manufacture of 7ADCA at a job-worker's unit and thereafter used in the manufacture of the final product, and whether the demand, penalty and withdrawal of permission were sustainable.
Analysis: The declarations were filed in advance, the Department was kept informed at every stage, and permission under Rule 57F(2) was obtained for direct movement of inputs to the job-worker's factory and receipt of 7ADCA back at the main factory. The materials were accounted for through the prescribed documents and registers, and the entire quantity of declared inputs was used in the manufacture of the intermediate product, which in turn was used in the manufacture of the final dutiable goods. The scheme permits raw materials to be sent to a job-worker for conversion into an intermediate product, and credit cannot be denied merely because the intermediate product itself is marketable or because there was some procedural deviation, so long as the substantive requirements are met.
Conclusion: Modvat credit was admissible, and the demand, penalty and withdrawal of permission were not sustainable.
Ratio Decidendi: Where duty-paid inputs are substantially and verifiably used in the manufacture of an intermediate product that is in turn used in the manufacture of the final dutiable product, Modvat credit cannot be denied for technical or procedural non-compliance if substantive compliance with the scheme is established.
