Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Customs exemption for imported inputs used by a 100% Export Oriented Unit extends under Notification No. 52/2003-Cus. to waste and scrap generated during manufacture. The controlling condition is that the imported goods are used to manufacture finished goods. Waste exceeding prescribed norms does not by itself defeat exemption where it is not removed without permission and is cleared on payment of applicable duty. The High Court found no legal infirmity in deletion of the customs-duty demand and dismissed the tax appeal, holding that no substantial question of law arose.
