The Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order. The additional discount of 8-10% given by the appellant to JEPL was held to be a genuine trade discount and not a "Commission" disguised as a discount to suppress the value. The CESTAT held that when the invoice is issued showing separate discounts, one payable to the distributor/dealer and the other to the purchaser, the former is considered a "Commission" and inadmissible. However, when the distributor/dealer purchases on their own account, such a discount is a normal trade discount and admissible. The 55% discount (including the additional 8-10%) passed on by the appellant to JEPL for their own purchases was held to be an admissible trade discount and could not be considered a "Commission".
