notice dated 09.12.2016 proposing to deny the Cenvat credit availed by the appellant during the period December, 2014 to March, 2015. The appellant, during the course of adjudication took a categorical stand that prior to 01.09.2014, there was no restriction to avail the credit within the period of six months from the date of issuance of the invoices. Inasmuch as, in the present case the invoices in question were issued either in the year 2013 or in the first half of year 2014, the same would not be covered by such restriction created w.e.f. 01.09.2014, inasmuch as, the notification cannot be held to be retrospective. As regards the availment of credit in respect of capital goods, they contended that no such restriction was introduced for

Mr. Pradeep S. Jetly, a/w Mr. J.B. Mishra, for the Applicant/Appellant.  
1. Shri. Jetly, the learned Counsel appearing in support of the Motion, states that the Respondents have been served and undertakes to file Affidavit of Service within a week from today.
2. This Motion seeks condonation of 639 days delay in taking out this Motion to set aside the order dated 25th August 2016 passed by the Prothonotary & Senior Master rejecting the Appeal under the Rule 986 of the Bombay High Court (Original Side) Rules for non removal of the office objections.

s not absolve that the officers of the Revenue to keep themselves abreact of the proceedings in this Court and/or taking appropriate steps to appoint new advocate for the first panel. Not taking steps in the above regard is itself evidence of negligence on the part of the Revenue.
5. In fact, this Court in Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Reliance Industries Limited [2017]84 Taxmann. Com 313 (Bombay) while dealing with a direct tax Appeal had made the following observations:
“8. We have found that if the number of appeals filed by the Revenue are approximately thousand per year or more, then, we expect the Revenue to appoint and depute responsible officials and to follow up the legal cases and matters in this Court. The officers cannot pass on the buck to some junior level employees or clerical staff. This is routinely happening inasmuch as the Departmental heads have not been attending the cases by taking a periodical review of the proceedings or appeals lodged in this Court. They han

years the Revenue officials have not noticed the lodging, filing or pendency of an appeal, a conditional order of the Registry, then, it must set its own house in order by sacking and removing the delinquent and negligent officials or penalising them otherwise so as to sub-serve larger public interest. If they are found to be hand-in-glove with the assessee and adopt such tactics deliberately, then, we do not think that the Court is responsible for the same. The Registrar (O.S.) has been drawing up a list and notifying the appeals regularly and intimating the parties and their Advocates through the High Court website that they must attend to these cases or else all consequences including dismissal without adjudication on merit, will follow…..”  
The aforesaid observations apply equally to the present facts.
6. In the above view, we are not satisfied with the reasons set out in support of the Applicant to condone the delay as it evidences negligence on the part of the Revenue.

The appellant has filed this appeal against the impugned order passed by the Ld. Commissioner (Appeals), Indore, vide which he has upheld the order passed by the lower Adjudicating Authority vide Order-in-Original: 07/AC/ST/IND/2017-18 dated 13.11.2017.
2. The brief fact of the case is that the appellant is provider of service and it registered wi

yment of service tax by the noticee. The appellant has not paid the interest as demanded by the Revenue and accordingly, they were visited with the Show Cause Notice No. V(ST)3-81/SCN/Petromarine/2016 dated 29/5/2017. This case was adjudicated and the amount was confirmed. The appellant was not successful in appeal before Commissioner (Appeal) and hence this appeal.
3. Ld. Advocate, on behalf of the appellant, submits that the demand is time barred as the Show Cause Notice has been issued for the period starting from 2009-2012 on 29/5/2017. Year wise calculation chart, for demand is not also appended with the Show Cause Notice. Accordingly, he said that the original Adjudicating Authority as well as Commissioner (Appeal) in the impugned or

. The Appellant has also requested to void the interest. In this regard I find that there is no any provision to void the liability of interest in any circumstances. Therefore, no relief on this account can be granted to the Appellant. As such I hold that the confirmation of interest on payment of service tax after being pointed out by the Audit is justified”.
Accordingly he justified the impugned order.
4. I have considered the rival submissions made by both the sides and also perused the appeal records.
5. I find that in this case the Commissioner (Appeal), in the impugned order has not considered the aspect of limitation as demand is raised for the period from 2009 to 2012, vide the impugned Show Cause Notice on 29/1/2017. Thus the d

was replied as includible. This reply from the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner of Central Tax asked to refer to the provisions of section 15 read with rule 27 of the CGST law. However, he stated that the customers are of the view that the amortization cost is not includible to arrive at the value for the purpose of GST unlike the erstwhile Central Excise Law. In the absence of clarity on the matter, the applicant preferred the ruling.
c. He stated that the it appears that the valuation provisions under the CGST Law is the same as that provided in the erstwhile Central Excise Law. Therefore, the applicant is of the view that the cost of amortization is to be added to the value of the goods supplied for the purpose of payment of GST. In this regard, he referred to the decision of the Hon'ble High Court in the case of TATA Johnson Controls Automotive Ltd v/s State of Maharashtra 2017 (7) GST GSTL 271 (BOM) = 2017 (8) TMI 344 – BOMBAY HIGH COURT. He has also enclosed the working for

Section 15
(2) The value of supply shall include:-
(a) . . . . . . .
(b) Any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the recipient of the supply and not included in the price actually paid or payable for the goods or service or both.
(c) . . . . . . .
(d) . . . . . . .
(e) . . . . . . .
(4) Where the value of the supply of goods or services or both cannot be determined under sub-section (1), the same shall be determined in such manner as may be prescribed.
Rule 27: Value of supply of goods or services where the consideration is not wholly in money:
(a) be the open market value of such supply
(b) If the open market value is not available under clause (a), be the sum total of consideration in money and any such further amount in money as is e

He added that his customers paid the invoice value including excise duty on the amortised cost of the value of the tools under the erstwhile Central Excise Law. However, the same customers are not paying the GST amount charged on the supply of goods stating that the amortised cost of the tool is not includible under the GST.
g. The applicant has also referred to the following decisions:
1. TATA Johnson Controls Automotive Ltd v/s State of Maharashtra 2017 (7) GST GSTL 271 (BOM) = 2017 (8) TMI 344 – BOMBAY HIGH COURT
2. GSTAMP Automotive India Pvt Ltd v/s Commissioner of Central Excise reported in 2017 GSTL 337 (Tri) = 2017 (7) TMI 889 – CESTAT MUMBAI
3. Lear Automotive India Pvt Ltd v/s Commissioner reported in 2014 ELT 65 (Tri) = 2013 (12) TMI 1453 – CESTAT AHMEDABAD
4. FINDINGS & DISCUSSION:
4.1 The transaction of the applicant is verified and found that there are two supplies involved in the entire

raised invoices towards their manufacture / supply and received the due consideration from the recipient. Therefore entry number 1 of Schedule I is the closest entry to the issue at hand. As the tools are supplied by the recipient to the applicant for the limited purpose of manufacture / supply of components, the activity does not amount to permanent transfer of the business asset of the recipient. Therefore, the activity of free supply of tools by the recipient to the applicant does not amount to supply as defined in Section 7 of the CGST Act 2017.
4.3 Now we proceed to examine the provisions of Section 15 of the CGST / KGST Act 2017 in order to address the question raised by the applicant.
Section 15(1) of the said Acts provides as follows:
“The value of a supply of goods or services or both shall be transaction value, which is the price actually paid or payable for the said supply of goods or services or both when the supplier and the recipient of the supply are not related and

e else or the recipient could supply them free of cost. In case the applicant procures the tools from a third party, then they would incur a cost and the cost could be included in the value of taxable supply to the recipient. There is no scope of any dispute in this situation about the fact that the cost of the tools is an essential element to be included in the cost of the component finally supplied by the applicant. This is also because without the tools the final component could not have been manufactured. However, when the first or third situation prevails, then the applicant has not spent any amount in respect of the tools. Nevertheless the applicant could not have manufactured the components without the tool. Here the cost the tool is borne by the recipient of the supply whereas the same should have been borne by the applicant, as evident from the situation discussed above, (where the applicant procures the tool from a third party).
Therefore we are of the considered opinion tha

assification of Services attached to Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017. There are six Groups of various Education Services under the Heading 9992 covering all services from pre-primary education services to specialized education services.
4.3 Serial No. 66 of the said Notification No. 12/2017 is a general entry in relation to exemption of services provided by an educational institution and /or to an educational institution. Educational institution means an institution providing services by way of (i) pre-school education and education up to higher secondary school or equivalent; (ii) education as a part of a curriculum for obtaining a qualification recognised by any law for the time being in force; (iii) education as a part of an approved vocational education course. Therefore all educational services provided by an institute, which leads to a qualification/ degree, recognized by the law, for the time being in force, are exempt from payment of GST. The appli

rned, the provisions contained in Serial no. 67 alone shall apply. The constitution of the Notification does not allow selective application of Serial No. 67 in respect of educational programmes like (a) two year full time Post Graduate Programmes in management for the Post Graduate Diploma in Management, to which admissions are made on the basis of Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institute of Management; (b) fellow programme in Management; (c) five year integrated programme in Management and application of Serial number 66 for the rest of the educational programmes. In conclusion we are of the opinion that when Notification number 12/2017 provides for a specific entry for the Indian Institutes of Management at serial no. 67, the provisions of serial number 66 shall not apply to them.
4.5 Similarly, the second question also relates to the applicability of entry no. 66 in the presence of specific entry no. 67. Therefore the same view holds good for the second questi

Present for the Respondent: Mr. Vinay Kumar Shraff, Advocate
This Appeal has been filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Central Tax, Sankrail Division, Howrah CGST & CX Commissionerate (hereinafter referred to as “the Appellant”) on 08.08.2018 against Advance Ruling No. 09/WBAAR/2018-19 dated 06.07.2018 = 2018 (7) TMI 391 – AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULINGS, WEST BENGAL, pronounced by the West Bengal Authority for Advance Ruling in th

peal against the above Advance Ruling requesting to set aside/ modify the impugned Advance Ruling passed by the Authority for Advance Ruling or pass any such further or other orders as may be deemed fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case on the following grounds:
i) The Respondent had themselves declared that they manufacture woven sacks of plastic materials of Chapter 39. The learned Advance Ruling Authority referred to Note 1(h) to Section XI of the Tariff Act which covers “textile and textile articles from Chapter 50 to 63 and does not include woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics of Chapter 39”, and hence the learned Advance Ruling Authority has erred in interpreting the true essence of this Chapter note;
ii) When every word in the above Chapter note is separated by comma then each word should be given equal weightage and from that perspective the word 'woven' should have been considered as an exclusion word in its own right. Hence the Advance Ruling is n

The Appellant also submitted that the rule of estoppel by election is applicable in the matter as the Respondent themselves declared the item in question under Tariff Sub-Heading 3923 29 90 and enjoyed the duty draw back as per Duty Drawback Schedule of DGFT. The Appellant further submitted that the same product cannot be cleared for export and in DTA under two different Tariff Headings.

(i) Manufacturing process includes manufacturing of polypropylene strips (tapes) which is woven to produce man-made textile material which is commercially known as Leno Fabric;

The said HR Coils was being received through Rail and Railways were charging service tax for transportation of the same, which were shown in the Railway Receipt (RR), on the basis of which the appellant was claiming the credit.

dit and the credit availed by the consignee i.e., appellant is not proper. The appellant brought to the notice of the Adjudicating Authority a circular issued by the Board being Circular No. 1048/36/2016-CX dated 20.09.2016 wherein it was clarified that if the consignor is not availing the Cenvat Credit, the same can be availed by the consignee. The said circular was not followed by the Adjudicating Authority on the ground that the same stands issued in September, 2016 whereas the period involved in the appeal is from July, 2014 to March, 2015. It was also observed that since the STTG certificate was not issued by the Railways in the name of the appellant, the same would not form eligible document for the purpose of availment of credit. Hence demand to the tune of Rs. 10.58 lakhs approximately were confirmed along with confirmation of interest and imposition of penalty of identical amount.
The said order was upheld by Commissioner (Appeals). Hence the present appeal.

The competent Railway Authority shall issue the STTG certificate accordingly, even though it will require issuance of more than one STTG certificates to the customer (consignor) for a particular month. The consignor shall transfer the consignee-wise 'STTG certificate' in original to the consignee concerned. The consignee may avail the CENVAT credit on the strength of this certificate.

Key 8 suggestions on Annual Return Format – Form GSTR-9

Key 8 suggestions on Annual Return Format – Form GSTR-9
By: – Bimal jain
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 24-10-2018

In terms of Section 44(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, every registered person, other than an Input Service Distributor, a person paying tax under Section 51 (TDS deductor) or Section 52 (TCS collector), a casual taxable person and a non-resident taxable person, shall furnish an Annual Return for every financial year on or before the 31st day of December following the end of such financial year. The Government vide Notification No. 39/2018 – Central Tax dated September 4, 2018 has notified the format of Annual Return Form GSTR-9 (for normal taxpayers) and Form GSTR-9A (for composition taxpayers).
Considering the complexity of Form GSTR-9 under the given time frame of 3 months for due date of 31st December, following suggestions are compiled by Mr. Bimal Jain, Chairman, Indirect Tax Committee, PHD Chamber of Commerce towards making Annual Return format si

n-taxable supply”
Thus, when definition of exempt supply itself includes Nil rated supplies, separate mention of the same under Part E above will add to confusions.
* Clarity on meaning of non-GST supply – As seen supra that definition of exempt supply includes non-taxable supply i.e. a supply of goods or services or both which is not leviable to tax under this Act [Section 2(78) of the CGST Act, 2017], hence, scope of non-GST supplies is not understood. This confusion persists in current format of GSTR-3B as well which requires separate reporting of non-GST outward supplies apart from exempted outward supply, which includes non-taxable supplies, Nil rated supplies and exempted supply. Thus, clarity on items included in non-GST supplies is required.
II Table 6: No need for bifurcation of ITC into inputs, input services and capital goods

available in initial period of GST introduction.
Further, in terms of Section 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, ITC in respect of invoices/ debit notes of a FY shall not be available after the due date of furnishing of return for September month following the end of financial year or furnishing of relevant annual return, whichever is earlier. In other words, taxpayers are required to complete the reconciliation process with their vendors latest by September 30, 2018 (Due date for filing GSTR 3B for the month of September 2018 is October 20, 2018), being the last day for claiming credit pertaining to the last FY.
* Technical glitches of GSTN portal – But it needs to be appreciated that owing to shortcomings of the GSTN portal, the envisaged system of ITC matching & mis-matching through Form GSTR-2 and GSTR-3 got indefinitely suspended and therefore, the matching mechanism could not be brought into action.
* Extension of due dates for filing GSTR-1 till October 31, 2018/ December 31, 20

n 16(4) of the CGST Act, 2017 specifically refers to the return under Section 39 (GSTR-3) and the Annual Return but does not stipulate or refer to any return under Section 168 (GSTR-3B ). Thus, the last date for availing ITC of any invoice/debit note for a financial year, say 2017-18, would be the earlier of the due dates for filing the GSTR-3 for September 2018 and the Annual Return for the year 2017-18. Since, filing of GSTR-3 is suspended, the last date within which input tax credit for invoices/debit notes of 2017-18 can be taken is the date of filing of the Annual Return for 2017-18, i.e., 31st December 2018.
Suggestion(s):
* Extending date of ITC reconciliation from last date of September 30 – Considering the challenging task of completing reconciliation of ITC with vendors by September 30, 2018, the government may consider the case for extending this date of September 30. Else, suitable modification in Form GSTR-9 may be carried to allow ITC for invoices pertaining to FY 2017

rsed during the FY and reclaimed in next FY
In terms of second proviso to Section 16(2) of the CGST Act, 2017, reversal of ITC is required to be made where the recipient fails to pay to the supplier the amount towards value of supply along with tax payable thereon. However, on the payment of consideration, ITC can be reclaimed. In case 180 days reversal happened in 2017-18 and reclaimed in 2018-19, how to disclose, disallow or reclaim such credit.
Suggestion(s):
* Clarity required for disclosure of ITC reversed but reclaimed in 2018-19 – It may happen that ITC reversal happened in 2017-18 and reclaimed in 2018-19. Clarity may be provided as how to disclose such credit.
