2018 (8) TMI 2044 - AT - Central Excise


Issues Involved:
1. Duty payment on finished goods in stock at the time of debonding for 100% EOU under Foreign Trade Policy.

Analysis:

The case involved the issue of duty payment on finished goods in stock at the time of debonding for a 100% EOU operating under the Foreign Trade Policy of the Government of India. The appellants, after fulfilling their export obligations, requested debonding. The Department granted NOCs considering relevant rules under the Foreign Trade Policy and Central Excise Act/Rules. Subsequently, a show cause notice was issued for duty recovery on finished goods in stock at the time of NOC issuance, even though the goods had been exported before debonding. The appellants contended that no stock was present at debonding, and duty was paid as per Central Excise Act provisions.

The Tribunal analyzed the contentions and referred to a previous case where it was held that even if goods were exported after debonding, duty refund on finished goods in stock at debonding was permissible. Relying on this precedent, the Tribunal found the issue to be identical and unsustainable. Consequently, the order was set aside, and the appeals were allowed. The Tribunal emphasized that since the goods had already been exported before debonding, the duty refund should be granted, following the established legal principles.
