ORDER
Confirmation of duty demand, interest and penalty on washing and ironing services (Dhulai/Estri) by the Commissioner (Appeals) against appellant has been assailed in this appeal.
2. Facts of the case, in a nutshell, is that appellant company is registered as cooperative society and also service provider which has been carrying out activities of washing and ironing of clothes of the customers in its premises on agreed upon charges, duly accounted in its books of accounts. During investigation, central excise officers verified the transactions, recorded statement of the General manager and issued show-cause cum deman

appellant Shri J.N. Somaiya submitted that appellant is a cooperative society of rural ladies who were ignorant of the applicability of new service tax Rules post negative list regime and since the entire transactions were reflected in the books of Account, basing on which duty demand is made, there was no suppression of fact and under the bonafide belief that such dhulai/estri were not taxable services the same was not collected from the customers and paid to the government. While conceding that no ST-3 returns were filed, the ld. Counsel for the appellant pointed out that bonafideness of the appellant was apparent since there was no intention to evade payment of service tax especially when up to 03.06.2012 their activities were not taxable and for service provided thereafter also they have not collected any tax from the customer. In citing judicial decision of Bordubi Engineering Works vs. UOI 2016 (42) STR 803 (Guj), K.T. Murukan 2017 (5) GSTL-248 (Ker.) and Uniworth Textiles Ltd. 2

relied upon by the adversaries. Admittedly appellant is a unit constituted under Cooperative Society Act and as its name indicates the members of the society are ladies but it has acquired the status of a limited company registered under the Service Tax way back in 2005 and was engaged in providing Business Auxiliary Service and transportation of goods by road services besides these two disputed services namely washing and ironing. As found from the order-in-original, appellant started paying service tax voluntarily on these two services from 01.04.2015 as laundry activities. In his detail order, the Commissioner (Appeals) has given his finding that prior to 01.07.2012 only dry cleaning was taxable and appellant's washing procedure was not scrutinised to find out the use of solvent which is most important for the purpose of determination of cleaning procedure and as the washing charges were mentioned in the invoice and same has been stated in the book of accounts, he accepted the subm

that it would be improper to invoke Rule 7C and Section 70 of the Act to impose maximum penalty by equating the delay in filing with non-filing of return. Since respondent department has not challenged the same reduction of penalty, such reduction of penalty under Section 77(2) appears to be reasonable.
7. Now coming to the penalty imposed under Section 78 of the Act, it is imperative to have a look at the order-in-original where appellant was given an option to pay reduced penalty of 25% if duty demand along with interest was to be paid within 30 days from the receipt of this order. This itself is indicative of the fact that the amount of service tax was determined under sub-rule (2) of 73 and the reflection of detail related to such transaction are recorded in the specified records for the period beginning with 08.04.2011. moreover, when notice of show-cause is issued by extending the period of limitation to 5 years, it does not necessarily mean that fraud, collusion, wilful missta

uppression of fact is relevant. It was further noted by the Hon'ble apex court that if the same were to be true then what would amount to ordinary default? Ultimately it was held that a specific or more serious niche is to be shown to construe the act of the appellant is fit for the applicability of proviso to Section 73(1). Further it has been rightly held in case law reported in 2016 (37) ELT 482 (SC), as submitted by the ld. Counsel, that mere omission to disclose would not amount to suppression of fact unless there was deliberate attempt to evade duty and in the instant case as there was no proof furnished by the department that suppression had taken place and finding in the order-in-original reveals that appellant had started voluntarily paying the service tax, penalty of equivalent amount under Section 78 of the Act would be a travesty of justice. Hence the order –
8. The appeal is allowed in part and the order passed by the Commissioner (Appeals) is modified as follows.

rmal) Energy and Light (Photo) Energy. Therefore Solar Power Devices are classified as Solar Thermal (eg. Solar Water Heater) devices and Solar Photovoltaic Devices. They further submit that Solar 'Power' does not mean Solar 'Electricity' as the Sun does not give the Electricity directly, but the solar power based devices use solar energy as their input.
5. They further submit that the Solar Power based Devices need Solar Panels to covert light energy and the ETC is One such mode of panels. The Solar Water Heater works on “Black body heat absorption principle'. The energy generated by this device is used to heat water and not for any other home consumption and no other form of energy or device is required as an intermediary between this device and heating. Therefore the applicant claims the said device as Solar Power based Device.
6. The Applicant claims the classification of the instant product “ETC” under 8419 19 and thereby claims the benefit of Sl.No.234, Schedule-I of Notificati

They further submit that the ETC tubes are basically devices which carry out the process of heating the cold water and are not merely part of the solar device in the sense of nuts and bolts of the storage tank. They further contend that their product (ETC tubes) does not fall under Sl.No. 121 of Schedule – IV, attracting the GST at the rate of 14%, as the said entry is for the water heaters other than solar water heater & system.
7.2 The Applicant, in response to the query raised in the hearing, vide their letter dated 05.12.2018 submitted the following additional submissions.
a) The Solar evacuated tube collector is a part of solar water heater and is used specifically for the particular function and in terms of Section notes, of Section XVI, which covers chapters 84 and 85, it is very Clear that parts, if suitable for use solely or prin

the Applicant in their application for advance ruling as well as the submissions made by Sri. Vijay Rajesh, Advocate, the authorized representative, during the personal hearing. We have also considered the issues involved on which advance ruling is sought by the applicant and relevant facts of the issue involved.
8.1 The Applicant, filed the instant application dated 03.07.2018 for advance ruling, seeking clarification as to Whether Evacuated / Vacuum Tube Collectors (VTC) falls under Chapter 84 of HSN which is covered SL no. 234 of Schedule -I under notification 1/2017 IGST rate dated 28.06.2017 ?
8.2 The Applicant, in the instant ease, presumes that their product falls under Chapter 84 and hence claims the benefit of the concessional rate in terms of the aforesaid notification.

hich basically comprises of the said tubes and an insulated tank. Therefore we are of the Opinion that the instant product merits to be a part of solar water heater systems under the chapter heading 8419.
8.4 The second part of the question is whether the product of the applicant is entitled for concessional rate under SL.No.234 of the Notification supra or not. The notification No.1/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017, effective from 01.07.2017, under Sl.No. 234 of Schedule l, notifies the Integrated Tax of 5% in respect of the following goods falling under Chapter 84 or 85.

(c) Solar power generating system
(d) Wind mills, Wind Operated Electricity Generator (WOEG)

downwards. The solar Water heater consists of array of tubes arranged side by side and the entire system works on the basis of the phenomenon of natural Thermosyphon circulation. This process by which the sunlight (solar energy) is converted to heat energy, does not involve generation of electricity. In other words the solar energy is not converted into electric-energy which may heat the water. Here the solar energy is absorbed by the coated surface of the inner tubes, thereby, heating them, which in turn heats the water contained therein. Thus the solar water heater in question does not appear to be a 'Solar Power Based Device'. Now it is pertinent to understand the term 'Power' as used in the term 'Solar Power Based Device'.
8.7 The term 'Power' has not been defined either in the GST Acts or explained in the Chapter / Section Notes of Customs Tariff. Therefore we 'place reliance on The Electricity Act' 2003' to delve into the definition / meaning of the term 'Power'. In this regard
