Issues: Whether waste and scrap of copper falling under sub-item (1b) of Item No. 26A, purchased from the open market, was covered by the deeming provision in Notification No. 74/65-C.E. so as to qualify for the concessional rate of duty on copper plates, sheets and circles manufactured therefrom.
Analysis: The notification granted partial exemption to specified copper manufactures and, by its explanation, deemed only stocks of copper falling under sub-item (1) or sub-item (1a) of Item No. 26A, available in the market, to have discharged the crude stage duty liability. Waste and scrap was specifically classifiable under sub-item (1b), and the explanation made no reference to that category. A deeming provision, being an exception to the general rule requiring duty-paying documents, could not be extended beyond the categories expressly specified. The notification had therefore to be construed strictly, and the absence of a corresponding amendment expanding the deeming fiction to sub-item (1b) did not justify extension of the exemption by interpretation.
Conclusion: Waste and scrap under sub-item (1b) was not covered by the deeming provision in Notification No. 74/65-C.E., and the concessional exemption was not admissible. The finding was against the assessee.
