1.5 The provisions of the Section 35EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944, which deals with revision by the Central Government, has been made applicable to the Chapter V of the Finance Act, 1 994dealing with Service Tax. In the Finance Act, 2015, the Section 86 has been amended to prescribe that remedy against the order passed by Commissioner (Appeal), in a matter involving rebate of Service Tax, shall lie in terms of section 35EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944. Further, it has also been provided that all appeals relating to rebate of service tax and filed in Tribunal after the date the Finance Act, 2012 came into effect and pending on the date of assent of the Finance Bill, 2015 by the President (i.e. 14.05.2015) shall be transferred and dealt in accordance with section 35EE of the Central Excise Act.In other words, in such cases, against the order passed by the Commissioner (Appeals), the revision applications are required to be filed before the JS (RA)
1.6 The text of two provisos inserted in sub-section (1) of Section 86 of the Finance Act, 1994 vide section 117 of the Finance Act, 2015 (with effect from 14.5.2015), are as under:

2. Some Historical Background
2.1 Under the scheme operative till 10.10.1982, the appeal against the orders of the Commissioners (then called Collectors), of Customs & Central Excise lay with the Central Board of Excise & Customs. As far as the appeals against the orders passed by the authorities below the rank of the Collectors (now called Commissioner), were concerned, the same were to be filed before the appellate Collectors of Customs & Central Excise.
2.2 Erstwhile Section 131 of the Customs Act, 1962 and Section 36 of the Central Excise & Salt Act, 1944, empowered the Central Government to revise the orders passed by the CBEC and appellate Collectors in exercise of their appellate jurisdiction. At the Government level, while Secretary (Revenue) or Special Secretary disposed of the Revision Application against orders passed by the CBEC, and the Addl. Secretary or Joint Secretary disposed of the applications against the orders passed by the appellate Collectors of Customs & Central Excise and executive collector of Customs and Central Excise.
2.3 In his 1980 Budget Speech, the then Finance Minister R. Venkataraman said,
I have a major declaim of policy to announce. For the past couple of decades, there has been a persistent public demand for the setting up of an independent Appellate Tribunal for customs and central excise matters, somewhat similar to the set-up on the Direct Taxes side. This demand has recently been endorsed by the Estimates Committee of Parliament. Government has, in the past, not been in favour of such a system, as it was felt that it would not be appropriate in the case of indirect taxes, and that the present departmental machinery was in fact adopting an objective approach. I think a time has come when we should gracefully accept the common view, which is based on the dictum that justice should not only be done but should also seem to be done. It is in this spirit that provision has been made in the Finance Bill for setting up an Appellate Tribunal to hear appeals in respect of customs, central excise and gold control matters. This Tribunal will be independent of the executive machinery charged with the responsibility of day-to-day administration of revenue laws. I have no doubt that this measure will meet with the whole-hearted approval of Parliament and of trade and industry.
2.4 The Finance (No. 2) Act, 1980 introduced a new system by establishing appellate Tribunal. The appellate jurisdiction of CBEC and Revisionary jurisdiction of the Central Government were abolished w.e.f. 11.10.1982, except a few residual transitional provisions and the Customs, Excise and Gold Appellate Tribunal (then known as CEGAT, but now commonly known as CESTAT) was set up w.e.f. 11.10.1982.
2.5 The Finance Act, 1984, revived the Revisionary powers of the Central Government in specified type of cases. On the Customs side, Section 129 DD read with proviso to Section 129(A) of the Act, empowered Central Government to revise the appellate orders passed by the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals). On Central Excise side, Section 35EE read with first proviso to sub-section (ii) of Section 35B of the Central Excise Act, 1944 gave review and revisionary powers to Central Government to revise the orders passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals).
3. Conditions to be fulfilled for filing Revision Application before JS (RA)
3.1 The following are the essential conditions, which need to be fulfilled, before filing appeal before Joint Secretary (RA):-
(i) The order, which is being appealed against, should be passed by the Commissioner (appeals) and should be relating to issue/issues mentioned above.
(ii) If, on the same subject as specified above, the order has been passed by the Commissioner of Customs/Central Excise, then appeal against such orders shall lie to CESTAT, not before JS(RA)
(iii) The Government i.e. JS (RA) may refuse to admit an application in respect of order where the amount of duty or fine or penalty determined by such order does not exceed five thousands rupees.
4. Filing of Revision Application
4.1 As per Rule 9 & 10 of the Central Excise (Appeals) Rules, 2001/ Rule 8A and 8B of Customs (Appeals) Rules 1982, the revision application under Section 35 EE of Central Excise Act, 1944/ 129DD of the Customs Act, 1962 should be filed in prescribed Form E.A.-8 (in Central Excise) /C.A.-8 ( in Customs) & presented either in person to the Under-Secretary Revision Application Unit, Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, New Delhi or sent by registered post addressed to such officer.
4.2 The revision application sent by registered post is deemed to have been submitted to the said Under Secretary on the date on which it is received in the office of such officer. The grounds of revision application and the form of verification as contained in Form EA-8 /CA-8, are required to be signed by the person specified in sub-rule (2) of Rule 3 of Central Excise (Appeals) Rules, 2001/ Customs (Appeals) Rules, 1982.
4.3 The revision application is required to be filed in duplicate& should be accompanied by two copies of the following documents, i.e.
(i) Order passed by the Commissioner (appeals) as referred to in first proviso to Section 35B (1) of the Central Excise Act, 1944/ first proviso to Section 129A (1) of the Customs Act, 1962.
(ii) Decision or order passed by Central Excise Officer / Custom officer which was the subject matter of the appellate order.
5. Procedure Adopted for process of Revision Application in RA Unit
- The Revision Application Unit receives the revision application in prescribed form EA-8/CA-8 filed by department as well as parties.
- The stipulated time for filing such applications is three months from the date of communication of order-in-appeal. The delay upto three months can be condoned by Central Government in deserving cases.
- The revision application Unit on receipt of revision applications issues the acknowledgement to the applicant alongwith deficiency memo in documents if any.
- Notice is issued to respondent party for filing counter reply. Thereafter, personal hearing is fixed / held in cases, in the order of seniority, on first come first serve basis.
- Out of turn hearings are allowed only in deserving cases involving substantial revenue, recurring issue resulting into multiplicity of cases, interest liability, the issue is no longer res integra, passenger is going abroad and cases of financial hardship.
- After completion of hearing, final revision order is issued by JS (RA)
6. Appeal against Revision Order passed by Joint Secretary (RA)
6.1 The Joint Secretary (RA) passes the final Government of India Revision Orders on behalf of Central Government after following due process of law. Under the Custom Act, 1962 and Central Excise Act, 1944, the Central Government is the highest authority in these revision and review matters, and orders passed by Central Government are final. However, the petitioners, aggrieved with said orders, can take recourse to writ petitions under Article 226 of Constitution of India. The Revisionary Authority becomes functus officio after passing the final Government of India Revision Orders.
Note: The term “functus officio” is a Latin term. It means that an officer or agency whose mandate has expired either because of the arrival of an expiry date or because an agency has accomplished the purpose for which it was created.
7. Procedural Clarification issued by CBEC
7.1 Vide instruction dated 17.08.2011, the CBEC, while considering question as to whether applications being filed by the Department before office of JS (RA) are covered under the stipulation of monetary limits prescribed for filing appeal before Tribunal/High court/Supreme Court, clarified that the Monetary limits prescribed by the Board’s Instruction F.No.390/Misc./163/2010-JC, dated 20.10.2010 does not apply to revision application filed before JS (RA).
Note: To know more about the Monetary Limits prescribed for filing appeal in the Tribunal/ High Courts and the Supreme Court in Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax cases, read e-book on this subject.
7.2 Vide CBEC Circular No. 993/17/2014-CX, dated 5.1.2015, the Board, interalia, clarified that the ambit of the Section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962 (which provided for pre-deposit to be made by appellant) does not extend to appeals under section 129DD before Joint Secretary (Revision Application). Therefore, while mandatory pre-deposit would be required to be paid in cases of drawback, rebate and baggage at the first stage appeal before Commissioner(Appeals), no pre-deposit would be payable in such cases while filing appeal before the JS (RA). Same principle will apply to Central Excise cases under section 35EE of the Central Excise Act, 1944 where appeal against the order passed by the Commissioner (appeals) lies before JS (RA)
