Method of valuation - Applicability of most appropriate rule for valuation - it is not the method of valuation that determines the applicability but that the method flows from the identification of the rule most apt for each transaction - ‘Job work’ existed before April 2007 and incorporation effected thereafter was not intended to cover every ‘job-worker’ as per common parlance but of specific situations contemplated in rule 10A of Central Excise Valuation (Determination of Price of Excisable Goods) Rules, 2000. That has not been demonstrated in the orders of the lower authorities. - AT
