dicating authority has been upheld by the Commissioner (Appeals-I), Central Tax, Pune. 2. Factual backdrop of the case is that appellant company was availing cenvat credit of capital goods and input services as well as using those towards central excise duty on finished excisable goods. There was no restriction for such adjustment of credit prior to 01.09.2014. By insertion of 6th proviso in the Rule 4 of Cenvat Credit Rules 2004 w.e.f. 01.09.2014 taking of cenvat credit after 6 months of date of issue of any documents specified in sub- Rule (1) of Rule 9 was disallowed. Appellant on the end of that month i.e. on 30.09.2014 took credit of the above referred amount against the bills raised between 2010 and August 2013. On scrutiny of ER returns for the month of September 2014, the assessing officer pointed out the irregularity and issued show-cause accordingly.

eriod of limitation in three contingencies if within six months credit was taken for the first time and subsequently reversed. Under such situation, it would be irrational to deny credit would be given to the documents against which credit might have been availed, had the insertion of proviso stipulating six months to avail such credit been not brought into force. Therefore, in conformity to the judicial precedent set by this Tribunal in 2018 decision referred supra, the only inference that can be drawn is that such Notification is applicable to the invoices/ documents raised after 11.07.2014. The other presumption could be that date of invocation should be considered as deemed date of invoice in respect of all previous documents/ invoices available with the manufacturing and supplying agency to avail such cenvat credit, that too in the earliest possible opportunity, within six months restriction to be counted from 11.07.2014. in the case in hand, since appellant had availed the credit

G – CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS. UTTRA IMPEX PRIVATE LTD is engaged in trading of various poultry feed products But company is facing some ambiguity in correct classification of Products (which are those products is not specified in question). In companies view products shall be covered under the HSN CODES 2301, 2302, 2308, 2309 AND effectively products will be exempted. However due to technical description of the products, there can be another school of thought and the tax may be levied at different rates by revenue authorities on the said products. SUBMISSION AND VIEW OF JURISDICTIONAL OFFICER- From the reading of application/ANNEXTURES submitted by the dealer, it is observed that; 1) The dealer is trading in Poultry feed products which are covered by CGST notification No. 2/2017. On which whole of central tax is exempted. The relevant entry is as follows: Sr.No. Chapter Heading Description of goods. 102 2303, 2304, 2305, 2306, 2308, 2309 Aquatic feed including shrimp feed and prawn feed

which GST is Ievied, which are related/similar to Poultry feed. These goods though not included in above mentioned poultry feed CGST notification No. 2/2017, GST shall not be levied on these goods also. According to dealer on the import documents, it is specified that these products are not for food or not for human consumption and those are of feed grade category, hence shall be classified under poultry feed and shall get exemption from GST. 4) Tax under GST levied as per commodity classified under HSN CODE and as per notification under the law only commodities covered by HSN CODE NO. 2302, 2304, 2305, 2306, 2308 and 2309 are classified as POULTRY FEED and exempted from GST. Thus while classifying poultry feed, law has excluded some entries like 2303/2307 from same HSN CHAPTER NO 23. On this background commodities which are classified and declared as taxable under HSN NO 2930/2922/3004 CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS POULTRY FEED. 5) The dealer s contention is not tenable. There are specific

perations and Sh. Rushabh Gondha, C.A. and Sh. Arjun Madnurkar, Sr. Technical Manager appeared and made oral and written submissions. They were requested to give detailed write-up, Catalogue and composition of the products under present proceedings and whether they are of chemical origin or otherwise individually latest by 12.08.2018 without fail. The Jurisdictional Officer was not present but telephonically informed that their earlier submissions may be relied upon. 05. OBSERVATIONS- We have gone through the facts of the case and the submissions made by the applicant and the department. We find that – 1) Applicant is mainly engaged in trading of various poultry feed products. In the course of its business the products namely DL Methionine, bicarbonate, Phytase, Betaine, Monodicalcium, Tryptophan, UT Vit 50, Threonine, Lysine and Creamino are imported by the applicant. Applicant submits the said products are feed supplements for consumption as poultry feed only and are not capable of b

to take call on whether impugned products are covered by the description of goods mentioned in the entry – 102 and in particular poultry feed, cattle feed, supplement, concentrate and additives. We also find that other products covered by the said entry are self-explanatory and require no discussion. Further we find that the expression which are central point of discussion i.e. poultry feed, animal feed, supplement, concentrate and additives are not defined in the statute or in the notification issued under the Act. As such we may refer the Wikipedia or dictionary to understand these expressions: Definition of feed – as per dictionary to furnish something essential to the development, sustenance, maintenance, or operation of reading feeds the mind CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY to give food to a person, group, or animal As per WIKIPEDIA Animal feed Animal feed is food given to domestic animals in the course of animal husbandry.

be broadly classified as concentrates and roughages, depending on their composition. Concentrates are feeds that contain a high density of nutrients, usually low in crude fiber content (less than 18% of dry matter (DM)) and high in total digestible nutrients. Roughages are feeds with a low density of nutrients, with a crude fiber content over 18% of DM, including most fresh and dried forages and fodders. Concentrates may be high in energy, referred to as energy concentrates, such as cereals and milling by-products, or high in protein, with over 20% crude protein, referred to as protein concentrates. Concentrates may be fed in raw or milled forms as individual feeds (sometimes referred to as straights), or may be blended or formulated into balanced rations for particular production purposes (compound CONCENTRATE MEANING MERRIAM WEBSTER DICTIONARY a feedstuff (such as grains) relatively rich in digestible nutrients ADDITIVES MEANING.

oviding nutrient required for animal based upon the nature of husbandry such as meat, milk, egg etc. Further we find that entry 102 of the exemption notification is not open ended. It cover those goods that are falling under chapter Heading 2301, 2302,2304,2305,2306,2308 and 2309 and which satisfy the description of goods as animal feed, supplement, concentrate and additives. These imported goods alone are eligible to avail the benefit of tax exemption under the GST ACT. It is therefore imperative to examine in detail chapter 23 of the CET – We find that Chapter 23 is related to the Residual and Waste from the food Industries prepared Animal fodder and therefore goods classifiable under the tariff codes as stated above are only covered and eligible for exemption benefit under entry no. 102 of the exemption notification mentioned above. Thus the benefit under Entry No. 102 is restricted as above:- We find that the details of tariff code (HSN) and its description as per tariff are as und

On the basis of above, it is evident from the description of animal feeds that only those products that merit classification in the corresponding to HSN code as per details above are eligible for exemption from payment of GST vide entry 102 of the exemption notification. On perusal of chapter 28 & 29 of the Customs Tariff Act we find that goods covered therein are Organic and in organic chemicals and further we find that the products requested for classification in ARA are squarely covered by chapter 28 and

2018 (12) TMI 1087 – AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULING, MAHARASHTRA – TMI – Supply or not – transfer of machines & moulds (capital goods), from the premises of the job-worker to another job-worker, which were originally received by said job-worker – Circular No. 637/28/2002-CX., dt. 08.05.2002 – Held that:- From a reading of the Circular quoted by the applicant it is seen that nowhere it is mentioned that provisions of Rule 4(5)(b) of erstwhile Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 for receipt back of such capital goods/ moulds by principal manufacturer within stipulated time lime of two years are not applicable.

ught on record any details to show that either the first Principal manufacturer or the applicant has submitted the declaration electronically in FORM GST TRAN-I and included the said capital goods in his TRAN-I, as provided under Rule 117 of the CGST Rules, 2017 – Since the details regarding the subject goods have not been carried forward by the applicant or the first principal manufacturer from the earlier law to GST laws, the goods cannot now be brought Into the GST fold.

It appears that neither they, nor the first principal manufacturer have carried forward the capital goods into the GST regime by following the procedure prescribed by Section 117 – Hence the subject transaction Of transferring the capital goods from the first job worker to the second job worker would be an independent and fresh transaction for which the same would be treated as supply of goods and will be liable to tax under the GST Laws.

r GST. At the outset, we would like to make it clear that the provisions of both the CGST Act and the MGST Act are the same except for certain provisions. Therefore, unless a mention is specifically made to such dissimilar provisions, a reference to the CGST Act would also mean a reference to the same provision under the MGST Act. Further to the earlier, henceforth for the purposes of this Advance Ruling, a reference to such a similar provision under the CGST Act /MGST Act would be mentioned as being under the GST Act 02 FACTS AND CONTENTION – AS PER THE APPLICANT The submissions, as reproduced verbatim, could be seen thus- STATEMENT OF THE RELEVANT FACTS HAVING A BEARING ON THE QUESTIONS: That originally machines & moulds were transferred to M/s.

That prima facie the machines & moulds were originally transferred by M/s. MWV India Pvt. Ltd. to the job-worker under erstwhile Central Excise Act, 1944. That further due to change in the constitution as detailed in annexure A to this application, M/S.

od not exceeding two months: Provided further that if such inputs are not returned within the period specified in this sub-section, the input tax credit shall be liable to be recovered in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) of sub-section (8) of section 142. That on bare reading it can be construed that the provisions detailed hereinabove confine themselves to inputs only, whereas goods under consideration are capital goods in the nature of machines and moulds. Accordingly, in absence of any specific provision under the transitional provisions in respect of receipt of capital goods by job-worker under erstwhile Central Excise Law & lying with him as on appointed date of GST, present transfer of capital goods will not entail any GST liability. iii. That in support of the said contention we crave leave to refer and rely upon below detailed case laws: 2014 (299) ELT 3 (Mad.)- Metal Weld Electrodes = 2013 (11) TMI 240 – MADRAS HIGH COURT Held: Interpretation of statutes – Legi

It was further held in that case that if the language of the statute does not admit of the construction sought, wishful thinking is no substitute for that, thereby holding that purposive interpretation is always progressive in nature. 2010(262) ELT 50(SC)- Balwant Singh = 2010 (7) TMI 556 – SUPREME COURT OF INDIA Held: Interpretation of statutes – Legislative intention – Provisions of statute including every word to be given full effect keeping legislative intent in mind to ensure achieving projected object – No provision treatable as enacted purposelessly – Court not to give interpretation to provisions to render them ineffective or odious. iv. That accordingly when the statue fails to provide any mechanism then intention of the legislature cannot be assumed. Implying thereby that when the legislature fails to provide for an enactment the subordinate legislation cannot not introduce enactment which was otherwise not provided in law. Hence when the transitional provisions have not det

standing can be attained that if the job worker intends to move goods to another job worker the same can be done by issuing a Challan either by the principal or the job-worker on endorsement of the challan by the principal. Implying thereby that the goods can be transferred by the principal manufacturer from one job-worker to another job-worker without any GST. Accordingly, in absence of any transitional provisions for receipt of capital goods by job worker under erstwhile Central Excise Law & lying with job worker as on appointed date of GST Law, the transactions of subsequent transfer of said items of machines & moulds (being Capital Goods) to another job worker upon request of principal manufacturer under job work process would not constitute as Supply & accordingly GST is not payable on such transfer.

Ltd (2nd Job worker), hence in light of the said provision of law & factual matrix no GST shall be leviable on such transfer of capital goods/ moulds. That further section 141 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides for transitional provisions in respect of inputs specifically, whereby it was provided that if the job worked inputs are returned after six months, the input tax credit shall be required to be returned. That admittedly the goods in questions are capital goods and moulds and in absence of anything specifically c provided in the law for transfer/return of capital goods/mould, provisions of Section 14 of CGST Act,2017 cannot be made applicable to capital goods/mould and the same can be removed even after expiry of six months without payment of any duty.

That under the present application, the capital goods/ moulds were originally transferred by M/s. MWV, principal manufacture to M/s. Shaily, 1st Job worker, and Cenvat Credit on such transfer of capital goods/ mould was availed by M/S.

the principal manufacturer M/s. Silgan would not be applicable in absence of any restriction stipulated under erstwhile Cenvat Law. Thus, aforesaid transactions of transfer of goods by 1st job worker to 2nd jobworker would be termed as Transfer of Goods under Job Work Procedure & should not constitue as Supply That in support of the said contention we wish to draw reference to section 174 of the CGST Act, 2017 which provides as below detailed: Repeal and saving. 174. (1) Save as otherwise provided in this Act, on and from the date of commencement of this Act, the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944.)

years for receipt back of capital goods by principal manufacturer after completion of job work cannot be extended retrospectively to a transaction which was principally & originally undertaken under the erstwhile Central Excise Act, 1944 as the CGST Act, 2017 neither can receive anything which was not in force at the time of repeal nor affect any privilege accrued under repealed act and especially in absence of any transitional provisions which governed the transition of the erstwhile law to the present law. viii. That moreover, Hon ble Mumbai Bench in the case of Balmer Lawrie & Co. Ltd. as reported in 2014(301) ELT 573 = 2014 (2) TMI 545 – CESTAT MUMBAI has held that Every statutory provision is prospective unless explicitly provided to be retrospective by legislature – Interest liability upheld – Rule 14 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 read with Section 11AB of Central Excise Act, 1944. ix. That similarly, the Hon ble Gujarat High Court in the case of Goyal Traders as reported

ld be considered prospective unless statute either specifically or by necessary implication gives such provision retrospective effect. xi. That accordingly, the condition of 3 years to bring back the capital goods as provided under section 143 of the CGST Act, 2017 cannot retrospectively be made applicable to a transaction which per se was not subjected to restriction of 2 years provided under the erstwhile Central Excise Act, 2017. Accordingly, the said transaction has to be viewed prospectively and the condition of 3 years to bring back the capital goods has to prospectively introduced from the date of transfer of capital goods from the 1st Job worker to 2nd job worker. Hence, all the conditions stipulated under section 143 stands complied with in present case for transfer of capital goods by 1st job worker to 2nd job worker under job work procedure . xii. That notwithstanding anything contained above, no time limit is prescribed in case of moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures, or tool

the same can be done by issuing a Challan either by the principal or the job-worker on endorsement of the challan by the principal, Implying thereby that the goods can be transferred by the principal manufacturer from one job-worker to another job-worker without any GST. xvi. Accordingly, in absence of any transitional provisions for receipt of capital goods by job worker under erstwhile Central Excise Act, 1944, the transactions of subsequent transfer of capital goods/ moulds from 1st job worker to 2nd job worker upon request of principal manufacturer under job work process would not constitute as Supply & accordingly GST is not payable on such transfer.

his case, the capital goods are not received back from the job worker i.e. M/s. Shaily Engineering Plastics Limited even after three years and it appears that the first principal manufacturer has not paid the Central Excise duty or debit the CENVAT account.

Shaily Engineering Plastics Limited to another job-worker namely M/s. Vasanth Tools Crafts Pvt. Ltd. The case laws mentioned by the applicant are not applicable in this case. 7.

was availed by the first job worker as provided/ permitted under provisions of Rule 4(5)(b) of erstwhile Cenvat Credit Rules,2004, provisions of Rule 4(5)(b) of erstwhile Cenvat Credit Rules,2004 for receipt back of such capital goods/ moulds by principal manufacturer within stipulated time lime of two years are not applicable as provided in light of Circular No. 637/28/2002-CX., dt. 08.05.2002. Hence in terms the Circular dt. 08.05.2002, the stipulated time of two years as provided under rule 4(5)(b) was not applicable in case where cenvat Credit was availed by the first job worker as consignee/ recipient of goods on behalf of principal manufacturer. We reproduce the said Circular No. 637/28/2002-CX., dt. 08.05.2002 which is as below:- Circular No.637/28/2002-CX 8th May, 2002 F.No. 267/12/2002-CX-8 Govt of India, MOF, Department of Revenue CBEC Subject: Admissibility of CENVAT credit to inputs and capital goods used by the manufacturer outside the factory premises.

Rules as those items which are used in the factory of the manufacturer of final products. Moreover, as per Rule 3(1) of the said Rules, credit on inputs is also admissible when inputs are used in the manufacture of intermediate products by a job worker availing the benefit of notification No.214/86-CE dated 25.3.86. Further, in terms of Rule 4(5), capital goods may be sent to a job worker's premises for production of goods. Therefore, in view of the said statutory provisions contained in Cenvat credit Rules, 2001 cited above, Cenvat Credit is admissible only when the inputs or Capital goods are used by the manufacturer within the factory premises [except when inputs or capital goods are used/sent for job work outside factory]. This position remains unchanged in the present Cenvat Credit Rules, 2002. From a reading of the Circular quoted by the applicant it is seen that nowhere it is mentioned that provisions of Rule 4(5)(b) of erstwhile Cenvat Credit Rules,2004 for receipt back of

that para. 8.4 of Circular dated 26.03.2018 provides that where goods are sent from one job worker to another job worker, the goods may move under Challan issued either by the principal or the job worker. In the alternative, the challan issued by the principal may be endorsed by the job worker sending the goods to another job worker, indicating therein the quantity and description of goods being sent. Hence according to them, in absence of any transitional provisions for receipt of capital goods by job worker under erstwhile Central Excise Law & lying with job worker as on appointed date of GST Law, the transactions of subsequent transfer of said items of machines & moulds (being Capital Goods) to another job worker upon request of principal manufacturer under job work process would not constitute as Supply & accordingly GST is not payable on such transfer. Under Rule 4(5)(a) of the erstwhile CCR, 2004, the cenvat credit was allowed even if any inputs or capital goods as su

goods were received back in his factory. However, the above referred Rule was substituted vide the Budget, 2015 and which read as follows:- (a)(i) The CENVAT credit on inputs shall be allowed……….., as the case may be: Provided that credit shall also be allowed even if any inputs are directly sent to a job worker…………………..; (ii) the CENVAT credit on capital goods shall be allowed even if any capital goods as such are sent to a job worker for further processing, testing, repair, re-conditioning or for the manufacture of intermediate goods necessary for the manufacture of final products or any other purpose, and it is established from the records, challans or memos or any other document produced by the manufacturer or the provider of output service taking the CENVAT credit that the capital goods are received back by the manufacturer or the provider of output service, as the case may be, within two years of their being s

service. From the submissions made by the applicant we find that they have contravened the above provisions of the Erstwhile CCR, 2004. The goods were not received back by them within the time frame mentioned above and they had also not reversed the credit availed in such case. Now that GST has been introduced in the year 2017, they want to avail the benefit of sending the said capital goods from their first job worker to their second job worker. We find that in the subject case, M/s. MWV India Pvt. Ltd., (ie. first principal manufacturer) sent capital goods for job work to Ms. Shaily Engineering Plastics Limited (first job worker) during the period 2012-13 & 2013-14. The applicant took over the business (including the capital goods) of first principal manufacturer in August, 2017. Till such time the capital goods was there with the first Job worker (ie. for more than 3 years). As per the above Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004, if the capital goods were not received back within two years

he said capital goods in his TRAN-I, as provided under Rule 117 of the CGST Rules, 2017. Since the details regarding the subject goods have not been carried forward by the applicant or the first principal manufacturer from the earlier law to GST laws, the goods cannot now be brought Into the GST fold. The definition of supply as per the Section 7 CGST Act, 2017 is as follows:- 7. (1) For the purposes of this Act, the expression supply includes- (a) all forms of supply of goods or services or both such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, licence, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business; (b) …………………………………..; (c) the activities specified in Schedule I, made or agreed to be made without a consideration; and (d) the activities to be treated as supply of goods or supply of services as referred to in Schedule II.

rate has been prescribed on all kinds of beet and cane sugar falling under heading 1701. 4.2 Doubts seem to have arisen in view of S. No. 32 A of the Schedule II of notification No. 1125-F.T. dated 28.06.2017, which prescribes 12% GST rate on All goods, falling under tariff items 1701 91 and 1701 99 including refined sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter, sugar cubes (other than those which attract 5% or Nil GST) . 4.3 It is clarified that by virtue of specific exclusion in S.No. 32 A, any sugar that falls under 5% category [at the said S.No. 91 of schedule I of notification No.1125-F.T. dated 28.06.2017] gets excluded from the S.No. 32 A of Schedule II. As all kinds of beet and cane sugar falling under heading 1701 are covered by the said entry 91 in Schedule I, these would get excluded from S. No. 32 A of Schedule II, and thus would attract GST @ 5%. 4.4 Accordingly, it is clarified that beet and cane sugar, including refined beet and cane sugar, will fall under head

Therefore it is clarified that supply of drinking water for public purposes, if it is not supplied in a sealed container, is exempt from GST. 7.1 GST rate on Human Blood Plasma: References have been received about the varying practices being followed in different parts of the co

f the Schedule-I-5% of the above-mentioned notification. 9.2 The heading 5809 and 5810 cover embroidery and zari articles. These heading do not cover yarn of any kinds. Hence, while these headings apply to embroidery articles, embroidery in piece, in strips, or in motifs, they do not apply to yarn, including Kasab yarn. 9.3 Further all types of metallised yarns or threads are classifiable under tariff heading 5605. Kasab (yarn) falls under this heading. Under heading 5605, real zari manufactured with silver wire gimped (vitai) on core yarn namely pure silk and cotton and finally gilted with gold would attract 5% GST under tariff item 5605 00 10, as specified at entry no. 218A of Schedule-I-5% of the GST rate schedule. Other goods falling under this heading attract 12% GST. Accordingly, kasab (yarn) would attract 12% GST along with other metallised yarn, whether or not gimped, being textile yarn, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal including

No. 257 A of Schedule I of the notification No. 1125-F.T. dated 28.06.2017]. However, such cotton quilts, with sale value exceeding ₹ 1000 per piece attract a GST rate of 12% (as per S. No. 224A of Schedule II of the said notification). Doubts have been raised as to what constitutes cotton quilt, i.e. whether a quilt filled with cotton with cover of cotton, or filled with cotton but cover made of some other material, or filled with material other than cotton. 11.3 The matter has been examined. The essential character of the cotton quilt is imparted by the filling material. Therefore, a quilt filled with cotton constitutes

The wording of the GST notification is similar to the central excise notification except certain changes to meet the requirements of GST. Thus, changes were necessitated as GST applies on the supply of goods while central excise duty was applicable on manufacture of goods. Accordingly, fertilizers falling under heading 3102, 3103, 3104 and 3105, other than those which are clearly not to be used as fertilizers, attract 5% GST [S.

On the other hand, Ld. A.R Shri B.
