Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant submits that the lower authorities have not considered the factual aspect of the case in its correct perspective. It is his submission that the valuation of the physician sample has to be done based upon the cost construction method. It is also his submission that the appellants' manufacturing activity consists of physician samples on their own account i.e. for the products manufactured by them for which physician samples are cleared and outright sale of physician samples to the customers.

CCE, Ahmedabad - 2008 (232) E.L.T. 245 (Tri. - LB) have laid down the law which clearly states that the physician samples have to be valued based upon the pro rata price of the sale pack of the very same said products. It is his submission that the appellant has not followed the law as has been laid down by the Larger Bench for the period in question and hence has mis-declared the value. It is his submission that that the limitation is correctly invoked as the appellant did not indicate in the monthly returns whether duty on such clearance of sample was being paid on pro-rata basis of the value of the MRP of the identical goods or otherwise. 5.

On the question of limitation, which was raised before the adjudicating authority, we find that the adjudicating authority has recorded the following findings. Regarding the contention of the assessee that the demand is time barred, I find that they have not declared in their monthly returns whether the duty on such clearance of physician samples was being paid on prorata basis of value of MRP of the identical goods or otherwise. They have not declared their contention to the department. Moreover it is patent to note that the initial burden of the department has gone with the statutory provision like approval/acceptance of list/declaration/defacement of duty paying documents e .....
