of <h1>Tribunal rules in favor of respondents, allowing Modvat credit on electrical transformers & panel boards</h1> The Tribunal upheld the Commissioner (Appeals) decision, ruling in favor of the respondents and rejecting the appeal challenging the eligibility of ... Modvat on capital goods Issues:The appeal challenges the eligibility of electrical transformer and electronics panel board for Modvat credit under Rule 57Q of the Central Excise Rules, 1944.Electrical Transformer:The Department argued that electrical transformers are not covered by Rule 57Q as they are neither capital goods nor accessories/components. The appellant contended that transformers were added to the list of capital goods w.e.f. 16-3-1995, thus not eligible for Modvat credit prior to that. However, the consultant for the respondents argued that transformers are capital goods and entitled to the benefit, regardless of the date.The Tribunal found that electrical transformers were included as capital goods w.e.f. 16-3-1995 and should be treated as such, making the date of declaration irrelevant. Consequently, Modvat credit was deemed admissible on electrical transformers.Electronics Panel Board:The respondents claimed that electronics panel boards are essential accessories providing necessary power for machinery operation in manufacturing. The consultant argued that these boards are either capital goods or essential accessories covered by Rule 57Q. The Commissioner (Appeals) had upheld this view.The Tribunal determined that electronics panel boards serve to regulate electric supply for machinery operation, making them essential accessories in the form of capital goods. Given their importance in modern technology for proper machinery functioning and goods production, the boards were deemed eligible for Modvat credit.In conclusion, the Tribunal upheld the Commissioner (Appeals) decision, ruling in favor of the respondents and rejecting the appeal challenging the eligibility of electrical transformers and electronics panel boards for Modvat credit under Rule 57Q.
