Issues: Whether the assessee could be denied relief under the Modvat scheme for not filing the declaration under Rule 57G at the initial stage, and whether the matter should be remanded for de novo consideration of eligibility under Rule 57F(4).
Analysis: The claim arose only after the drawback route failed to cover the countervailing duty element on imported components used in exported finished goods. The non-filing of the declaration at the outset was treated as a procedural lapse that could be condoned where the assessee had initially proceeded on the basis of drawback and later sought Modvat-type relief. The decision relied on the principle that a subsequent claim for credit or refund should not be defeated merely for want of an initial declaration when the factual entitlement may otherwise exist, subject to proof of duty payment, receipt of the components in the factory, and use in manufacture of the exported product.
Conclusion: The non-filing of the declaration under Rule 57G was condoned and the matter was remanded for de novo decision on merits, with the assessee to establish eligibility for relief under Rule 57F(4).
Ratio Decidendi: A procedural failure to file the Modvat declaration at the initial stage can be condoned where the claim for credit arises only later and the assessee is otherwise required to prove substantive eligibility for relief.
