Sir,

Electrical Energy is classifiable under sub-heading No. 2716 00 00 of Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985. However rate of duty leviable on such electrical energy is not indicated in the tariff. Therefore electrical energy generated by whatever mode is not chargeable to central excise duty. As far as VAT is concerned I am not conversant with VAT Law.

Mr. Ganeshan Kalyani Ji,

Electrical energy generated through windmill is not covered under Chapter 27 of Central Excise Tariff Act. It is neither excisable goods nor exempted. That is why column of rate of duty against Sub-heading No.2716.00.00 no. has been left blank. Chapter 27 covers electrical energy produced from mineral fuels, mineral oil etc. This issue has already been decided by the Hon'ble High Court, Allahabad in the case of Gularia Chinni Mills Vs. UOI reported as 2014(34)STR.175/Allahabad = 2013 (7) TMI 159 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT. Pl.see para 26 of the judgement.

The High Court judgement has been affirmed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of DSCL Sugar Ltd reported as 2015(322)ELT/769/SC = 2015 (10) TMI 566 - SUPREME COURT  interpreting the manufacturing process. This judgement does not touch 'Electrical Energy' but it covers it under manufacturing process. It touches excisability and manufacture of bagasse. However, it is relevant in determining excisability and manufacture of electrical energy.
