of <h1>Tribunal ruling: molten iron not excisable, pig iron exempt, uncoated steel plates liability remanded</h1> The Tribunal ruled that molten iron, maintained for further use, is not excisable. Pig iron used in manufacturing machinery parts qualifies for exemption. ... Iron - Steel plates Issues Involved:1. Excisability of molten iron2. Eligibility of pig iron for exemption under Notification 281/87-C.E.3. Liability of uncoated non-alloy steel plates under Notification 217/86Excisability of Molten Iron:The Tribunal, following a previous decision and a Supreme Court confirmation, ruled that molten iron, maintained at a high temperature for further use, is not in a marketable condition and hence not excisable. The Tribunal relied on the case of TISCO v. Commr. of Central Excise and dismissed the Revenue's appeal on this issue.Eligibility of Pig Iron for Exemption:The Tribunal, based on a previous decision in the respondent's own case, held that pig iron used captively in manufacturing machinery parts for repairs and maintenance, qualifies for exemption under Notification 281/86. Despite the creation of intermediate castings and forgings, the pig iron was deemed eligible for the exemption.Liability of Uncoated Non-Alloy Steel Plates:In a previous case, the Tribunal had denied the benefit of exemption under Notification 217/86 for uncoated non-alloy steel plates used in manufacturing splashed plates. However, the respondent argued that splashed plates were essentially steel plates cut to size and used in a specific manner. The respondent presented new facts and referred to a relevant circular, which were not considered earlier. The Tribunal found these new facts relevant and decided to remand the issue to the Assistant Commissioner for a fresh decision based on the additional information provided.In conclusion, the Tribunal rejected the Revenue's appeals concerning the first and second issues but remanded the third issue to the Assistant Commissioner for a fresh decision. Both appeals were disposed of accordingly.
