Issues: Whether spot welding electrodes used in the manufacture of finished products qualified as inputs under Rule 57A.
Analysis: The electrodes were used in the welding process and had to be fixed to the welding machine to receive electric current and convert it into heat for welding. They were therefore functionally part of the machinery. The exclusion in the Explanation to Rule 57A applied only to complete machines or machinery, and not to their parts. The Tribunal also followed the view that spot welding electrodes were no different from electrodes already treated as inputs.
Conclusion: Spot welding electrodes were held to be inputs under Rule 57A, and the assessee succeeded.
