2016 (7) TMI 1106 - CESTAT HYDERABADCenvat Credit on returned goods - activity of bringing the cement from Mattampally unit to the appellant unit - claim denied on the goods as not inputs but finished goods - Held that:- Manufacturer can take credit of duty paid on the goods by treating them as inputs. It is seen from the above rule that if goods are brought for any other reason also, the manufacturer is entitled to take credit as if the goods are inputs. The learned counsel for appellant submitted that the appellant unit had railway sliding tracks and this is the reason that the cement was brought from Mattampally unit to the appellant unit and marked with ISI mark and dispatched to the buyer. The contention of Revenue is that the goods being cement/finished product, the credit is not admissible. Rule 16 does not require remanufacturing of goods or that goods should undergo any process after being brought to the factory and before being removed. The goods if brought for being re-made, refined, reconditioned or for any other reason , the rule would apply. Thus, do not find that there is contravention of any of the provisions of Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004. The activity falls within the ambit of Rule 16 of Central Excise Rules, 2002. On such score, the demand of interest and imposition of penalty is unsustainable - Decided in favour of assessee.
