Issues: Whether the imported de-soldering machine, performing both pick-and-place and de-soldering functions, was covered by the exemption Notification No. 96/91; and whether the refund claim had to be reconsidered on that basis.
Analysis: The machine was found to perform functions answerable to Sl. Nos. 12 and 84 of the Table to the notification. The notification was meant to extend substantial relief to goods used in the electronic industry and covered a wide range of machines. Applying the notification by its language, read as a whole and in ordinary commercial understanding, a single machine combining covered functions could not be excluded merely because it was not separately described as a combined unit. The department had not shown that the machine performed any function beyond those covered by the listed items.
Conclusion: The imported machine was held to be covered by the exemption notification, and the refund claim was directed to be reconsidered afresh by the adjudicating authority after hearing the appellants.
Final Conclusion: The assessee was held entitled to claim the benefit of the exemption notification in respect of the imported machine, and the matter was sent back for fresh decision on refund.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an exemption notification covers the constituent functions of a single imported machine, the machine may qualify for exemption even if it combines those covered functions in one unit, provided no additional excluded function is shown.
