Issues: (i) Whether consultancy charges relating to installation and commissioning of equipment at site and training of customers' staff were includible in the assessable value of the computers; (ii) whether the penalty required reduction in view of the exclusion of those charges.
Issue (i): Whether consultancy charges relating to installation and commissioning of equipment at site and training of customers' staff were includible in the assessable value of the computers.
Analysis: Charges relatable to pre-installation planning, layout design and warranty maintenance were accepted as includible, but the charges for installation and commissioning and for training of customers' staff were treated as post-removal expenses with no nexus to manufacture or marketability. The reasoning followed the earlier view that such expenses do not form part of the assessable value.
Conclusion: The consultancy charges for installation and commissioning of equipment at site and training of customers' staff were not includible in the assessable value, while the remaining accepted components were includible.
Issue (ii): Whether the penalty required reduction in view of the exclusion of those charges.
Analysis: Since the demand stood reduced by excluding the aforesaid consultancy components from the assessable value, the penalty was considered liable to be scaled down accordingly.
Conclusion: The penalty was reduced.
Final Conclusion: The impugned order was sustained only to the extent of includibility of the admitted consultancy components, the duty was left to be reworked on the revised basis, and the penalty was reduced.
Ratio Decidendi: Consultancy charges for activities that are post-removal and ormally unconnected with manufacture or marketability are not part of the assessable value.
