2015 (12) TMI 1438 - AT - Central ExciseArea based exemption - dispute is about another manufacturing unit (unit II) claimed to have been set up by the appellant company in March, 2010 on the first floor of the same building and this unit is also for manufacture of the same products - Denial of duty exemption under notification no. 49/03CE - Clubbing of clearances - Held that:- Goods manufactured from the new machinery, if any installed, in the name of Unit-II on the first floor would be eligible for duty exemption under notification no. 49/0 3CE. However, since both the Units, - Unit-I as well as Unit-II, are upheld to be one entity and not the independent Units, they would be eligible for exemption under notification no. 49/03CE only for ten years from the date on which the Unit-I had commenced commercial production - if the Unit-I had commenced commercial production sometime in 2004 it would be eligible for exemption under this notification till 2014 only. The attempt to set up the Unit-II as a separate Unit on first floor of the Unit-I appears to be an attempt by the appellant company to enjoy the exemption in the name of Unit-II for another period of ten years. Since, we have held that Unit-II has no existence and Unit-I and Unit II have to be treated as one unit, the same would be eligible for exemption only for a period of ten years from the date on which the unit-I had commenced commercial production - Appeal disposed of.
