The appellant's products were correctly classified, and although there were procedural lapses in declaration requirements, the Tribunal found that substantial compliance was achieved by sending the declaration to the jurisdictional Superintendent. The failure to send a copy to the Assistant Commissioner did not invalidate the exemption claim.

As a result, the duty demands, interest, and penalties imposed were set aside, and the appeals were allowed. en-us Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 11:15:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=266557 The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, a manufacturer of electricity meter reading instruments, in a case concerning exemption eligibility under Notification No. 49/2003-C.E.
