GST – CONCEPT & STATUS (Updated as on 01st June 2018)

Goods and Services Tax – GST – Dated:- 15-6-2018 – GST – CONCEPT & STATUS Updated as on 01st June 2018 INTRODUCTION: The introduction of Goods and Services Tax on 1st July 2017 was a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a single tax, the aim was to mitigate cascading or double taxation in a major way and pave the way for a common national market. From the consumer point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of a reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, which was estimated to be around 25%-30%. Introduction of GST would also make Indian products competitive in the domestic and international markets. Studies show that this would have a positive impact on economic growth. Last but not the least, this tax, because of its transparent and self-policing character, would be easier to administer. GENESIS: 2. The idea of moving towards the GST was first mooted by the then Union Fin

nd the States were clearly demarcated in the Constitution with almost no overlap between the respective domains. The Centre had powers to levy tax on the manufacture of goods (except alcoholic liquor for human consumption, opium, narcotics etc.) while the States had powers to levy tax on sale of goods. In case of inter-State sales, the Centre had power to levy a tax (Central Sales Tax) but the tax was collected and retained entirely by the originating States. As for services, it was the Centre alone that was empowered to levy service tax. Since the States were not empowered to levy any tax on the sale or purchase of goods in the course of their importation into or exportation from India, the Centre levied and collected this tax as additional duties of customs, which was in addition to the Basic Customs Duty. This additional duty of customs (commonly known as CVD and SAD) counter balanced excise duties, sales tax, State VAT and other taxes levied on the like domestic products. Introduct

tax- UTGST). The Parliament would have exclusive power to levy GST (integrated tax – IGST) on inter-State trade or commerce (including imports) in goods or services. The Central Government will have the power to levy excise duty in addition to the GST on tobacco and tobacco products. The tax on supply of five specified petroleum products namely crude, high speed diesel, petrol, ATF and natural gas would be levied from a later date on the recommendation of GST Council. 5. A Goods and Services Tax Council (GSTC) was constituted comprising the Union Finance Minister, the Minister of State (Revenue) and the State Finance Ministers to recommend on the GST rate, exemption and thresholds, taxes to be subsumed and other features. This mechanism would ensure some degree of harmonization on different aspects of GST between the Centre and the States as well as across States. One half of the total number of members of GSTC would form quorum in meetings of GSTC. Decision in GSTC would be taken by a

y seven meetings of the GSTC have been held so far. The following major decisions have been taken by the GSTC: (i) The threshold exemption limit would be ₹ 20 lakh. For special category States (except J&K) enumerated in article article 279A of the Constitution , threshold exemption limit has been fixed at ₹ 10 lakh. (ii) Composition threshold shall be ₹ 1 crore. As decided in the 23rd meeting of the GSTC, this limit shall be raised to ₹ 1.5 crore after necessary amendments in the Act. Composition scheme shall not be available to inter-State suppliers, service providers (except restaurant service) and specified category of manufacturers. For special category States (except J&K and Uttarakhand) enumerated in article 279A of the Constitution , threshold exemption limit has been fixed at ₹ 75 lakh.

(v) The five laws namely CGST Law, UTGST Law, IGST Law, SGST Law and GST Compensation Law have been recommended. (vi) In order to ensure single interface, all administrative control over 90% of taxpayers having turnover below ₹ 1.5 crore would vest with State tax administration and over 10% with the Central tax administration.

in the country which will naturally benefit the development in the states; (viii) Uniform SGST and IGST rates will reduce the incentive for evasion by eliminating rate arbitrage between neighboring States and that between intra and inter-State sales; (ix) Average tax burden on companies is likely to come down which is expected to reduce prices and lower prices mean more consumption, which in turn means more production thereby helping in the growth of the industries.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX NETWORK: 9. Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has been set up by the Government as a private company under erstwhile Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956 . GSTN would provide three front end services to the taxpayers namely registration, payment and return. Besides providing these services to the taxpayers, GSTN would be developing back-end IT modules for 27 States who have opted for the same. The migration of existing taxpayers has already started from November, 2016. The Revenue department of both Centre and States are pursuing the presently registered taxpayers to complete the necessary formalities on the IT system operated by GSTN for successful migration. 10. GSTN has selected 73 IT, ITeS and financial technology companies and 1 Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (CCT, Karnataka), to be ca

ation to States) Act respectively. Further 58, 62, 58 and 8 rate related notifications each have been issued under the CGST Act, IGST Act, UTGST Act and GST (Compensation to States) Act respectively. Similar notifications have been issued by all the States under the respective SGST Act. 13. Apart from the notifications, 49 circulars and 14 orders have also been issued by CBIC on various subjects like proper officers, ease of exports, and extension of last dates for filling up various forms, etc. ROLE OF CBIC: 14. CBIC is playing an active role in the drafting of GST law and procedures, particularly the CGST and IGST law, which will be exclusive domain of the Centre. This apart, the CBIC has prepared itself for meeting the implementation challenges, which are quite formidable. The number of taxpayers has gone up significantly. The existing IT infrastructure of CBIC has been suitably scaled up to handle such large volumes of data. Based on the legal provisions and procedure for GST, the

ures to more than 60,000 officers of CBIC and Commercial Tax officers of State Governments. Officers of the office of CAG are also participating and getting trained in this training programme. More than 52000 officers (including around 20000 officers from States) have already been trained. Out of these 7000 officers have attended refresher-training course also. 17. It is expected that a momentous reform like GST is popularized and familiarized to the trade and industry who are the vital stakeholders in successful implementation of this reform. 18. CBIC would be responsible for administration of the CGST and IGST law. In addition, excise duty regime would continue to be administered by the CBIC for levy and collection of central excise duty on five specified petroleum products as well as on tobacco products. CBIC would also continue to handle the work relating to levy and collection of customs duties. 19. Director General of Safeguards, CBIC has been mandated to conduct detailed enquiry

But the authority considered the investigative report of the Directorate General of Safeguard (DGS) before ordering the dismissal of complaint. The NAA ruled that in respect of the two invoices dated July 27, 2017, as the installation of the second lift had been completed after coming into force of the CGST Act, 2017, he was liable to be charged GST at the rate prevalent on July 27, 2017.

CGST Rules, 2017 to the Standing Committee alleging that company had not charged GST on the base price of the lift ordered by him from the company, after excluding the pre-GST Excise Duty on the material component and thus he had been charged tax twice on the same material. This was referred by the Standing Committee to DGSG for further investigations. The complaint had subsequently withdrawn his complaint vide letter dated 28.03.2018 sent to DGSG and he also did not availed the opportunity of being heard before NAA. The reason cited for withdrawal was that he was not fully aware of the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017 when he had filed his application on 20.09.2017 and since the issues pertaining to case had been further clarified subsequently, his application should be treated to have been withdrawn. According to law, the supply and installation of lift amounted to Works Contract and as per Rule 2A of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, value of the service portion

ted in the GST regime, and hence the point for levy of tax for supply of material fell under the GST regime and accordingly, two more invoices were issued on 27.07.2017 wherein the applicable GST was correctly charged. The company claimed that the Excise Duty benefit could only be given if the material was dispatched on or after 01.07.2017 and since all the material was delivered before 30.06.2017 and hence, he was not in a position to pass such benefit to the Applicant. The NAA, therefore, finally ordered that there is no substance in the claim made by the applicant and therefore, the Authority accepted the report dated 16-04-2017 filed by the DGSG under Rule 129 (6) of the CGST Rules, 2017. The proceedings were dropped as no violation of the provisions of Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017 has been established. It is understood that NAA has under its sleeve over 50 complaints to be examined and adjudicated. It is hoped that in next few weeks, we may witness more orders from NAA agains

Ruling:- The movement of tyre mounted cranes or crawler cranes from one GST registered office of SML to another registered office of SML for further supply on hire charges to customers would be treated as “taxable supply” under GST law – Further circular No.2i/21/2017- IGST which exempts from tax interstate movement of rigs, tools, spares, and al! goods on wheels [like cranes] where interstate movement of such goods is not for further supply of same goods is not applicable to the facts of present transaction as in the present case interstate movement of goods from SML HO in Maharashtra to SML branches in other states is for further supply of goods on hire.

The question whether the recipient office of SML duty registered under GST receiving such cranes for further supply on hire charges would be eligible to avail input tax credit of GST charged, is not answered by this aut

nsaction stated above in question 1 is liable to tax, whether GST would be payable Only on the movement of tyre-mounted cranes being goods on wheels or GST would also be payable on movement of both types of cranes (i.e. tyre-mounted cranes and crawler cranes)? 5. What should be the value under section 15 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (CGST Act) and the rules made thereunder for discharging applicable GST on movement of cranes from one GST registered office to another registered office in case the said movement is considered to be a taxable supply? 6. 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 s

imported from various countries such as USA, Germany, Japan, Singapore, China, etc. 3. SML owns two types of cranes, viz. i) Crawler cranes (they are fitted with crawler tracks/ chain belts, as seen on military tanks). These cranes cannot be plied on normal roads, and therefore, do not require any registration from the Regional Transport Office (RTO). ii) Tyre-mounted hydraulic cranes ply on the road and require RTO registration. 4. The cost of these cranes is significantly high and their average economic life ranges from 25 to 35 years. These cranes are moved/ transported on trailers, from one location to another, in knock down condition. 5. As the movement of cranes involves significant time and cost, SML has set up various branches ( SML branch offices ) across India at strategic locations to minimize transportation time and costs. II. Under GST, SML has obtained registration for 10 locations across India, including its head office ( SML Maharashtra ) located in Pune, Maharashtra. I

to applicable GST. Thus, under GST, Inter-State branch transactions involving services have been brought under the ambit of tax. As a result, SML had to relook at its existing business model and the way it undertakes transactions both internally and externally with customers. 9. In order to comply with the provisions of GST law and ensure operational feasibility, SML has modified its business model. SML Maharashtra has entered into a formal service arrangement with all SML branch offices by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Wherein SML Maharashtra has agreed to provide cranes and crane components to all SML branch offices on hire charges. As part of the service arrangement, whenever SML branch offices receive a final work order from their customers for providing cranes on hire charges, the said SML branch offices will in turn raise an internal work order on SML Maharashtra for providing the requested cranes on hire charges to them. 10. Thus, for each final work order r

ch offices. 14. For brevity and clarity of facts, an illustration of the transaction flow involved is provided below. 15. For each type of crane given on hire charges, the crane operator maintains a separate monthly log sheet at the customer/ project location, wherein the daily and hourly details of crane usage and idle time are maintained, based on which the monthly service invoice is raised by SML branch offices on respective customers. Further, an invoice from SML Maharashtra is issued to the SML branch office and the value considered for levying GST is approximately 95% of the value charged to the customer by the SML branch, following the principle under Rule 28 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 ( CGST Rules ) read with section 15 of CGST Act. 16. In most cases, cranes are moved from one GST registered office of SML to another registered office when there is an underlying work order received by the recipient branch office. However, in some cases, it may happen that

into a service agreement through an MOU, whereby SML Maharashtra shall provide different types of cranes and crane components to all SML branch offices on hire charges as per the requirement of each SML branch office. 19. The ownership and title of cranes and crane components shall vest with SML Maharashtra, However, as and when any SMK, branch offices receive the final work order from their customers for supply of crane on hire charges, the said crane shall be provided by SML Maharashtra to SML branch offices for further sub-hiring purpose. Method of invoicing- As per the monthly log sheet, SML branch offices raise invoices on their respective customers and on the basis of the same, SML Maharashtra in turn raises taxable invoice on the respective SML branch offices. Valuation adopted-SML Maharashtra recovers hire charges equivalent to approximately 95% of hire charges recovered by SML branch offices from their respective customers and discharges GST as applicable on the said value.

been made and no input tax credit reversal is required to be made for non-payment of consideration. Hence, the recipient SML branch offices can avail credit of IGST charged by SML Maharashtra on the value of hire charges charged on the invoice. Clarification issued under Circular NO. 21/ 21/ 2017-CGST read with Circular No. 1/1/2017-IGST 23. The GST Council in its 23rd meeting held on 10 November, 2017 clarified that inter-State movement of goods like rigs, tools, spares and goods on wheels like cranes, not being in the course of furtherance of supply of such goods, does not constitute supply. This clarification was issued to give major compliance relief to industry, as there are frequent inter-State movement of such kind in the course of providing services to customers or for the purposes of getting such goods repaired or refurbished or for any self-use. Service provided using such goods would in any case attract applicable tax. 24. In order to give effect to the recommendations of t

However, as a result of the afore stated provisions under the GST, each and every movement of such capital goods between distinct persons was subject to tax i.e., the movement of goods between inter-State branch offices was being subjected to tax, thereby, causing undue hardship and compliance burden to the leasing industry. 27. Hence, to provide consequential relief to the leasing industry in general, the Central Government vide the aforesaid Circular has clarified that only such movement of goods that would be further supplied by way of sale, transfer, barter, exchange, license, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made would be treated as taxable supply and subjected to GST. 28.

In the present situation and under the given facts, if GST is payable on the aforesaid transaction, whether the recipient office of SML duly registered under GST receiving such cranes for further supply on hire charges would be eligible to avail input tax credit of GST charged? Answer: – As per section 16(2) of the CGST Act, a registered person shall be entitled to avail credit of any input tax in respect of any supply of goods or services or both to him subject to fulfilment of the following conditions: a. Possession of tax invoice or debit note issued by registered supplier; and b. Receipt of goods or services; and c. Tax charged for such supply is actually paid to the Government; and d.

o IGST if the cranes are moved for internal use for carrying any goods, or for repairs and maintenance, etc., except in cases where such movement is for further supply of the said cranes on hire charges. Further, the registered branch office proving the upkeepment and maintenance service, charges consideration for the same from SML Maharashtra and levies applicable GST on the same. Thus, as the activity of upkeepment and maintenance is already taxed by SML branch offices, the movement of cranes from One registered branch office to another for undertaking repairs and maintenance activity should not be liable to tax under GST, as it would result in double taxation of a single transaction. As the cranes are moved from one GST registered office to another for upkeepment and maintenance activity, which in itself is a taxable service, the said movement of cranes should not attract levy of GST, as it would result in double taxation of a single transaction.

The value of supply include- any taxes, duties, cases, fees and charges levied under any law for the time. As per my opinion, in such a case of supply of Goods and services between deemed district persons, the value of goods or services determined as open market value, 04.

oyed across India as per the requirements of customers. Its head office ('SML HO Maharashtra ) is located in Pune, Maharashtra. SML operated these cranes on wet lease basis (own operate and maintain) and provides the entire operation crew, such as crane operators, riggers, helpers, mechanicals, engineers, etc., whenever a crane is given on rent. SML owns two types of cranes namely crawler cranes and Tyre-mounted hydraulic cranes. Applicant has stated in details about the goods involved in this transaction but what is significant for present purpose is to understand the business model. As per the model as reproduced in vertabum above applicants Branch offices at different locations negotiate with the customer for supply of cranes on hire charges and receive final work order. The applicant's Branch on receipt of final work order in turn raise internal work order on Head office to provide crane on hire charges along with appropriate support and assistance.

crane is moved from one registered branch office to another registered branch office for temporary unkeepment and maintenance purpose. In any case, however, the ownership and title to the crane vests with HO. Whenever crane moves from SML HO to SML branch office for further supply on hire, the invoice is issued by SML HO to SML branch office and the value considered For levying GST is approximately 95% of the value charged to customer by the branch. Whereas when crane move from one registered location to another registered location for upkeepment and maintenance activity the respective branch office providing such services levies charges on H.O. along with applicable rate of GST. ON this factual matrix we have been called upon to answer the questions made in the ARA. We now deal each questions as below: Que: 1 Based on the facts and business model adopted by Sanghvi Movers Limited ( SML or Applicant or the Company ) under the GST regime as discussed below in detail, whether movement of

services. The next issue raised by the applicant for our consideration is under claim that all the branches located in different state are of single legal person and as such the movement of crane for supply on hire from HO in Maharashtra to branch office in another state would not be leviable to under the GST as per the clarification issued by CBEC vide circular No. 21/21/2017-GST r/w Circular No. 01/01/2017. As per general understanding, the HO and branches of one legal entity have no separate existence. However as per section25 (4) of the GST where a person who has obtained or is required to obtain more than one registration, each such registration is treated as distinct person. The relevant section is reproduced as below- Section 25(4): A person who has obtained or is required to obtain more than one registration, whether in one State or Union territory or more than one State or Union territory shall, in respect of each such registration, be treated as distinct persons for the purp

or commerce. And as per section 5 (1) of the IGST Act said interstate supply is taxable under the provisions of the IGST in the hand of the applicant. Therefore, we conclude that in the present case supply of cranes, cranes components and trailers on lease/ hire charges by the SML HO to SML branches in TN and other state constitute interstate taxable supply of service between two distinct person and liable to pay tax under the provisions of IGST Act. Further we find that the issue of IGST exemption on interstate movement of various modes of conveyance between two distinct person as specified in Section 25(4) of the GST Act, 2017 for carrying goods or passengers or both; or for repair or maintenance except in cases where such movement is for further supply of the same conveyance was examined by the Board vide circular No. 1/1/2017 DT. 7.7.2017. And it was clarified that such movement may not be treated as supply and therefore would not be leviable to IGST. Further the Board in order to

lar was extended to rigs, tools and spares, and all goods on wheel. [like crane] In view of these two circulars we have to ascertain whether the clarification is applicable to the facts of the case i.e. cranes supplied/provided by the applicant namely – crawler cranes (they are fitted with crawler tracks/chain belts, as seen on military tanks) and Tyre mounted hydraulic cranes that ply on road. Applicant's case is covered by second circular and as per this circular what is exempted is all goods on wheel [like crane]. As regards Tyre mounted crane there shall be no doubt as said crane are on wheel. The issue before us is whether the crawler crane is covered by the expression goods on wheel (like crane used m the second circular) for this purpose we have to understand the meaning of word ' like which is not defined in the act. We may now take assistance of dictionary meaning of the said word to arrive at certain conclusion. The Dictionary meaning of like is – Preposition: like ha

her supply of goods or supply of service. The reliance by the applicant on this circular to claim interstate movement of cranes as exempt from levy of IGST is misplaced as the cranes moves form SML HO Maharashtra to SML branch in another state for further supply of same cranes. For above deliberation we conclude that IGST would be leviable on the interstate movement of both type of cranes from SML HO to SML branch offices registered in another state for further supply on hire charges to customer and thus the circular 21/21/2017-IGST is not applicable to the facts of the present transaction. Que: 2 In the present situation and under the given facts, if GST is payable on the aforesaid transaction, whether the recipient office of SML duly registered under GST receiving such cranes for further supply on hire charges would be eligible to avail input tax credit Of GST charged?

maintenance purpose and not for further supply of the crane on hire charges. We find that the situation as mentioned above is squarely covered by the clarification issued by Tax Research Unit vide circular no. 21/21/2017- GST DT. 22nd November, 2017. As such the interstate movement of cranes is neither a supply of goods nor supply of services and consequently no IGST would be applicable on such movement. However, tax is leviable on repairs and maintenance done for such goods. Que: 4 If the transaction stated above in question 1 is liable to tax, whether GST would be payable only on the movement of tyre-mounted cranes being goods on wheels or GST would also be payable on movement of both types of cranes (i.e. tyre-mounted cranes and crawler cranes. We have already given answer in respect of question No.1 that both types of cranes i.e. tyre mounted cranes and crawler cranes are covered by the expression 'all goods on wheel [like crane] used in the circular No. 21/21/2017-GST and as s

As per the method SML branch office on the basis of monthly log sheet raise invoices on their respective customer and on the basis of same, SML Maharashtra that is applicant in turn raises taxable invoice on the respective SML branch offices. SML Maharashtra recovers hire charges equivalent to 95% of hire charges recovered by SML branch offices from their respective customers. Applicant discharges GST as applicable on the said 95% value. On this factual matrix we have been called upon to answer the impugned question. As per section 15 of the GST Act, the value of supply of goods or supply of services or both shall be transaction value that is actually price paid or payable provided that the supplier and recipient are not related person and the price is the sole consideration. For the discussion herein above we find that SML HO and SNIL branches situated in other states are distinct persons as per section 25(4) of the GST Act.

nd gear boxes under chapter 84 and applied for classification under CHAPTER HEADING NO. 8901 to 8907 of the schedule to the tariff under the GST regime. Chapter 89 actually attracts classification of SHIPS, BOATS AND FLOATING STRUCTURES thereunder. 9. In this case, it is seen that a very specific description for classification of the parts/spares of MARINE GEAR BOX is found in CHAPTER HEADING NO. 8483 of the schedule of the tariff which is gear boxes and other speed changers Gear boxes of all kinds are classifiable under this heading only. Chapter 89 attracts classification of SHIPS, BOATS AND FLOATING STRUCTURES which is a specific description and does not attract gear boxes to be classified under this chapter. Schedule I and Schedule IV of the NOTIFICATION NO. 1/2017-Central GST (Rate), dated 28-06-2017: while schedule I attracts Central GST @ 2.5 per cent and schedule IV attracts Central GST @14 per cent.

items in set put up for retail sale, those headings are to be regarded as equally specific in relation to those goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or precise description of the goods. (b) Mixtures, composite goods consisting of different materials or made up of different components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3(a), shall be classified as if consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character, insofar as this criterion is applicable, (c) When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3(a) or 3(b), they shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. Explanation: Rule 3(a) states that where 2 or more Headings seem to apply, the one which provides the most specific description of the product in question should be used. This means that a Heading which names the actual product should be used in preference to one only

asses) must classify the goods under the appropriate liquor Heading. The essential character of the item is the liquor itself and not the glasses contained within the set. Explanation; Rule 3(c) is for use in cases in which a good seems to fit in more than one Heading and the essential character cannot be determined. In this case, the product should be classified under the Heading which occurs last in numerical order. Example: A gift set which includes socks (Heading number 6115) and ties (Heading number 6177) cannot be classified by previous rule since neither item gives the gift set its essential character. The gift set must be classified under the Heading number for ties which is the Heading that occurs last in numerical order. 12.1t may be noted that a Gear Box is a device basically designed for changing speed, irrespective of to which device it is coupled/ attached. The gear box will either increase the speed or decrease the speed depending upon desired output needed. Normally gea

Therefore it is strongly felt that the correct classification of IC engine to be under Chapter 8408. Accordingly the gear box which is bearing general description and specifically classified under chapter 84834000 of GST Tariff cannot be classified as parts of Goods falling chapter 89. Similarly Diesel Engine bearing General description Marine Diesel Engine is specifically classified under Chapter 840810. Therefore such Engines cannot be classified as parts of Goods falling under Chapter 89. 04.

In any case and any view of the matter, the refund claims stands filed after a period of one year from the relevant date in terms of Section 11B of the Act – All the refund claims are governed by the provisions of Section 11B and the time limit prescribed therein is required to be adhered to by the Revenue authorities.

The said refund claim was filed by them on 5.5.2016 to the extent of ₹ 30.95 lakhs approximately. 2. The lower authorities has rejected the refund claim on the issue of time bar. It was also seen by the authorities that the VAT has been charged only on the value of the cars and not on the value of the logistics and there was only a demand by the VAT department to include the logistic charges in the value of the cars for the purpose of VAT. The order of the original adjudicating authority rejecting the refund claim was upheld by Commissioner (Appeals) and hence the present appeal. 3. For better appreciation, the reasoning adopted by the Commissioner (Appeals) for rejection of the refund claim is reproduced below: 9 Section 11B of Central Excise, Act, 1944 is a self contained provision governin

However, the Adjudicating Authority was not inclined

the objection was that the petitioner had not filed ST-3 Return for the financial year 2008-09 and they have not paid late fee for the ST-3 Returns filed belatedly. The petitioner forwarded his reply to the notice dated 27th March, 2017, and, tendered explanation. 8 The application came up for hearing on 19th May, 2017, before respondent no.2. It was pointed out that after the period of show-cause notice, there is no further demand made against the petitioner. It was prayed that penalty and prosecution may be waived. The petitioner was called upon to submit documents to the Jurisdictional Revenue Authorities for verification of availability of CENVAT Credit. The petitioner submitted all the required documents vide letter dated 19th May, 2017. No response was received from the office of the Jurisdictional Revenue Authorities till the reminder dated 9th June, 2017, was received requesting for certain documents.

He submits that respondent no.2 has committed an error in holding that the petitioner has not submitted documents, as directed. It is submitted that letter dated 25th May, 2017, which was purportedly issued to the petitioner was not received by them and, thereafter, a reminder was sent to the petitioner on 9th July, 2017. They were directed to submit the documents referred to in the letter dated 25th May, 2017. The petitioner forwarded their response on 12th June, 2017. The Jurisdictional Authority, issued letter dated 14th June, 2017, seeking all documents mentioned therein within two days. The letter was recei

s and submitted all relevant documents vide letter dated 19th May, 2017. The Interim Report of the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority suffers from serious infirmities. The petitioner had forwarded reply dated 30th June, 2017, which speaks otherwise. The impugned order erroneously states that the petitioner has failed to comply with the order and had not provided with documents to the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority despite repeated reminders. Mr.Shah, relied upon the decision of this Court in the case of Poona Tools Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India 2015(323) E.L.T. 572 (Bom.). 10 Mr.Jetly, learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the submissions of the petitioner are devoid of merits. Respondent no.2 has taken into consideration all material aspects and rejected the Settlement Application. He submitted that sufficient opportunity was given to the petitioner to produce requisite documents, but, the petitioner have not responded. The grievance of the petitioner is afterthought. He s

e Authority for verification. It was obligatory on the part of the petitioner to submit records and excuses were made vide letter dated 30th June, 2017. In this case, neither ST-3 Returns were filed at the relevant time nor the petitioner provided the CENVAT Credit Register evidencing the CENVAT Credit. They did not produce original invoice before the Revenue Authority despite directions from the Bench. It is, thus, submitted that no fault can be noted in the impugned order since the Settlement Commission has taken into consideration facts and circumstances of the case and did not find it to be a fit case for settlement under Section 32F(5) of the Central excise Act. 11 We have gone though the documents annexed to the petition. The petitioner has prayed that the order passed by the Settlement Commission be set aside and respondent no.2 be direccted to reconsider the Settlement Application after proper consideration of the facts of the matter and the submissions made by the petitioner.

ter dated 13th April, 2017, stating that the case under reference is allowed to be proceeded with vide order dated 7th April, 2017 of the Bench. Apparently, respondent no.2 has relied upon the report of the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority. The petitioner had dealt with the Interim Report vide reply dated 30th June, 2017, contending that the documents were provided except CENVAT Credit Register, which was maintained by the Chartered Accountant, who was travelling abroad at the relevant time. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Interim Report was sent to respondent no.2 without providing the petitioner an opportunity to submit any documents. Apart from that, the discrepancies in the Report were explained and the amount not paid due to an inadvertent error and the challan showing the same were annexed to the reply. It appears that the reply dated 30th June, 2017, forwarded by the petitioner was not taken into consideration in proper perspective. The impugned order indicates that

received on 16th June, 2017. Respondent no.2 has recorded an adverse finding that no documents, as required were submitted by the petitioner and whereas, it is their case that all relevant documents were forwarded under covering letter dated 19th May, 2017, wherein it was specifically mentioned that any further clarification required may be requested and would be duly provided in the interest of settlement of the matter. 12 The impugned order also mentions that no one from the Revenue had appeared during the hearing on 19th May, 2017, and no Final Report of the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority was forthcoming despite awaiting the same. However, in the reply, the petitioner have stated that certain letters addressed to them were omitted in the Report of the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority. The said report was accepted. The impugned order records that the petitioner has failed to comply with the order and not provided documents to the Jurisdictional Revenue Authority, despite reminders

The petitioner also did not produce original invoices before the Revenue Authority. On these grounds, the application was rejected. It is apparent that the application was basically rejected on the ground of non-production of documents. The contention of the petitioner that all the documents was on record and in the event there was any specific requisition from the respondent no.2 to file certain documents, he was ready to produce the same. For all these reasons stated above, it appears that respondent no.2 has hurriedly rejected the application for Settlement without giving sufficient opportunity to the petitioner. In the decision of this Court in the case of Poona Tools Pvt. Ltd. (Supra) relied upon by the petitioner the order of the Settlement Commission was challenged on the ground that it is in violation of principles of natural justice. It was contended that the procedure contemplated under Section 32E and 32F of the Central Excise Act was scrupulously followed and on being sati

isdictional Revenue Authority further hearing. The impugned order makes the note that no one from Revenue had appeared for hearing on 19th May, 2017 and the final report of the said Authority was not forthcoming. The Interim Report was faulted vide reply filed by petitioner. It appears that the order was passed without appreciation of facts of the matter. 14 In the light of the aforesaid circumstances, it would be appropriate to remand the proceedings back to respondent no.2 for fresh consideration by setting aside the impugned order: 15 In view of the above, we pass the following order: ORDER (i) Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a); (ii) The impugned order dated 21st August, 2017, passed by respondent no.2 is set aside and the respondent no.2 is directed to reconsider the Settlement Application after giving opportunity to the parties concerned and after hearing them and to decide the application in accordance with law; (iii) It is clarified that we have not expressed a
