2015 (10) TMI 2078 - AT - Central ExciseDenial of Input credit - Non maintenance of separate accounts - Held that:- Requirement of Rule 6(3), wherein on assessee does not maintain separate records of inputs consumed in the manufacture of duty paid and exempted output, the assessee is required either pay an amount at the fixed percentage (10%/6%) of value of the exempted goods/services or pay an amount as determined under sub-rule (3A). Sub-rule (3A) provides for reversal of proportionate amount attributable to the inputs consumed in the manufacture and clearance of goods without payment of duty. Further sub-rule (3A) provides for filing of an intimation by the assessee giving details as-the name, address, registration number, number of manufactured goods, date from which the option under the clause is exercised or proposed to be exercised, description of dutiable and exempted output and Cenvat Credit of inputs and input services lying in the balance as on date as exercising the option. Only for the reason of non-filing or delayed filing of intimation under sub-rule (3A), as assessee cannot be required to pay the fix percentage by way of reversal under Rule 6(3), where the assessee have paid the amount by way of reversal which amounts to substantial compliance. It is further admitted fact that the assessee has intimated the fact of reversal by making categorical mention in the ER-1 returns. I hold that the appellant had made substantial compliance of sub-rule (3A) of Rule 6 of Cenvat Credit Rules. - Decided in favour of assessee.
