Modvat/Cenvat - Inputs gone in waste - Credit on inputs gone in waste during process of repacking of detergent powder not deniable

The Supreme Court Bench comprising Hon’ble Mrs. Justice Ruma Pal and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ashok Bhan on 7-10-2002 after condoning the delay dismissed the Civil Appeal No. D17281 of 2002 filed by Commissioner of Central Excise, Delhi against CEGAT Order No. A/373/2002-NB, dated 7-3-2002 and reported in 2002 (150) E.L.T. 175 (Tri. - Del.) =  2002 (3) TMI 176 - CEGAT, NEW DELHI (Commissioner v. I.P.F. Vikram India Ltd.). While dismissing the appeal, the Supreme Court passed the following order :-

“Delay condoned.

The civil appeal is dismissed on merits”.

The Appellate Tribunal in its impugned order had held that for the purpose of Modvat, where process of repacking the bulk detergent powder into small containers amounts to manufacture, credit on inputs gone in waste during the process not deniable.

Clear-cut percentage is not available. In view of the decision of the Supreme Court and Board's circular, analogy can be applied.
