Please elaborate
A benefit of opportunity of being heard shall be given before adjudication.
Here is not a question of adjudication. Question of adjudication arises only after issuance of SCN. Powers of Issuance of SCN and adjudication have been delegated to different Central Excise Officers on the basis of monetary limits. So depending upon the amount of duty involved, Supdt., Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, Add. Commissioner, Commissioner are competent to issue SCN and adjudicate the case. So in the situation explained by you, the Central Excise Officer who is competent to adjudicate the case/issue SCN can allow you to follow the procedure laid down in Rule 6 (3A) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. Hence here is the permission required to follow Rule 6 (3A), if not followed earlier. You have option/discretion in Rule 6 (3 AA) for adopting the procedure in Rule 6 (3A) of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004.
Pre consultation provisions were also there in Excise/Service Tax regime.
Commissioner (Audit) is having no power to adjudicate a case.
