It is the claim of the appellant that within ‘capital […]
It is not in dispute that the said electricity is supplied to the factory of the respondent and the same is used for manufacturing activity. Merely because the wind generation plant is situated far away from the manufacturing activity, credit cannot be denied.
Principle of ‘user test’ also need to be considered while deciding the entitlement of assessee to avail CENVAT Credit as laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CCE Vs. Rajasthan Spinning & Weaving Mills Limited 2010 (255) ELT 481 (SC).
It is a settled legal position that when the assessee was not put to notice with regard to the reasons basis which the demand is being sought to be made, the proceedings cannot be legally sustained.
CESTAT Ahmedabad held that arrangement of the appellant with it is associate companies is in the nature of cost sharing and it would not be correct to say that the appellants are providing any services to their associate companies and hence demand of service tax unsustainable.
CESTAT Delhi held that M/s. Parle Biscuits Pvt. Ltd. can distribute credits on input services attributable to the final product on a pro rata basis proportionate to the turnover between the manufacturing plants of Parle and its contract manufacturing units
CESTAT Chennai held that adjudicating authority has ordered confiscation of red sander but refrained from confiscation of container u/s 119 and accordingly penalty u/s 114 on the appellant was not imposed. Matter remanded to re-look into the non-imposition of penalty.
CESTAT Delhi held that services relating to construction of school building or hospital building to a charitable institutions/ trust registered u/s. 12AA of the Income Tax Act is exempt under service tax vide clause 2(k) of notification no. 25/2012-ST.
CESTAT Mumbai held that eligibility of taking credit of the duties is undisputable and also there was procedural aberration in such case refund of credit by cash eligible u/s 142(6)(a) of the CGST Act.
CESTAT Mumbai held that without evincing illicit trafficking of the impugned goods and presuming the same as smuggled goods deprives legal sanctity.
