Issues: Whether Modvat credit was admissible on imported float glass sheets warehoused in the factory bonded warehouse and cleared for manufacture under bond, when customs duty and countervailing duty were paid on ex-bond clearance and the goods were entered in the prescribed records.
Analysis: The imported inputs were deposited in a private bonded warehouse in the factory in accordance with the Customs Act, 1962, and were used only under the procedure for manufacture under bond. The clearance of the goods on filing ex-bond bills of entry and payment of duty before their use showed compliance with the statutory scheme under Sections 52, 58 and 65 of the Customs Act, 1962. In these circumstances, the Modvat provisions under Rule 57A and Rule 57G(2) of the Central Excise Rules, 1944 had to be read harmoniously with the customs procedure. A rigid insistence that credit could be taken only on receipt of inputs under a duty-paying document at the moment of entry into the factory would defeat the benefit of lawful warehousing and manufacture under bond.
Conclusion: Modvat credit was admissible and the demand for its denial was not sustainable.
Final Conclusion: The Revenue failed to establish any violation of the Modvat scheme, and the order dropping the proceedings was correctly sustained.
Ratio Decidendi: Where imported inputs are lawfully warehoused, cleared on payment of duty, and used under the customs procedure for manufacture under bond, Modvat credit cannot be denied merely because the inputs were not received under a conventional duty-paying document at the time of initial warehousing.
