Issues: Whether deemed Modvat credit under Rule 57G(2) was admissible on scrap and other inputs alleged to be clearly recognisable as non-duty paid.
Analysis: Deemed credit on inputs is not available where the goods are clearly recognisable as non-duty paid. The applicable test, as laid down by the Larger Bench and followed in subsequent Tribunal decisions, requires examination of the nature of the scrap and the surrounding purchase documents to determine whether the material could properly be treated as non-duty paid. On the facts, the record required a physical verification of the scrap claimed for credit, particularly because the respondent asserted that the goods included items such as borings and turning waste and that supporting purchase documents were already available before the adjudicating authority.
Conclusion: The matter required remand for fresh verification and reconsideration by the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner; the claim to deemed Modvat credit was not finally upheld.
Ratio Decidendi: Deemed Modvat credit on scrap can be denied only when the inputs are shown to be clearly recognisable as non-duty paid, which may require verification of the nature of the goods and the relevant purchase records.
