2014 (10) TMI 718 - AT - Central ExciseCENVAT Credit - Debit notes - Credit on ethyl alcohol - Captive consumption - Held that:- Debit notes raised every month by the appellant to the Superintendent of Division III of Nasik that the molasses used in manufacture of ethyl alcohol was systematically reversed every month either from RG-23 account or from PLA account and intimated to the department. We have seen the copies of the debit notes. One debit note No. 90/03-04 dated 07.06.2003 bears the stamp of Inspector of the Range. In any case the authenticity of the debit notes has not contested by the Revenue. It is seen from the documents submitted in the appeal that Superintendent Range I had directed the appellant to reverse proportionate credit as per the provisions of then Rule 57CC of the Central Excise Rules which provided for the procedure of payment of duty on inputs used in the manufacture of exempted as well as dutiable final products. On this basis, the appellant was reversing the credit on molasses every month and intimating the department by means of the debit notes. The total amount of duty of ₹ 83,95,165/- on quantity of 16790.330 MT's of molasses has admittedly been paid. Therefore, the demand of duty on molasses used in the manufacture of exempted ethyl alcohol is not sustainable - Decided in favour of assessee.
