Concessional duty under Notification No. 50/2017-Cus read with the IGCR Rules depends on compliance with the statutory import and end-use mechanism. The Tribunal held that concessional benefit is granted at import on the basis of the declaration transmitted by the jurisdictional officer, while end-use is separately monitored; where the goods were admittedly used for the declared purpose, denial of benefit on grounds of misuse was not justified.

The duty demand and consequential penalty were therefore set aside.
