Rule 17(2) deemed that packing machines in an unregistered unit operate from the financial year start, but contemporaneous documentary and testimonial evidence of purchase, transport and installation displaced the deeming to 16.05.2011, limiting duty to actual days of operation.

Absent independent corroboration the Tribunal set aside demands and penalties premised on illicit manufacture or collusion and granted consequential relief.
