Following the precedent set by a Larger Bench decision, the Tribunal upheld the demand for valuation based on the spares market for all clearances, including captive consumption and warranty replacements. Regarding time limitation and cum-duty benefit, the Tribunal found no intentional suppression of facts, as the issue was not without controversy. The Tribunal noted that the original show-cause notice did not allege suppression, and since all assemblies were dutifully disclosed, willful suppression could not be claimed. The Tribunal upheld demands within the normal period, extended cum-duty benefit, set aside penalties under Section 11AC, and remanded the matter for duty recomputation. en-us Wed, 05 Jun 2024 08:13:44 +0530 Wed, 05 Jun 2024 08:13:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=78148 The Appellate Tribunal addressed issues regarding the method of valuation of electrical motors, whether to apply Rule 8 or Rule 4 of the Central Excise (Valuation) Rules, 2000.
