2016 (8) TMI 8 - AT - Central ExciseCENVAT credit - eligible input services - services received at the division / other office - input service distributor (ISD) - Held that:- there is no scope to have two views regarding the status of ILTD, Guntur, which is factually an integral part of ITC Ltd. In other words, ILTD, Guntur which is an input service distributor registered as such with the service tax wing of the Revenue in Guntur is nothing but ITC Ltd, who is the appellant only, for the purpose of enforcing laws of Central Excise and Service Tax. There have all the proofs been available on record giving clear conclusion that ILTD, Guntur is a part of ITC Ltd., who is the appellant claiming CENVAT Credit for the input services utilised directly or indirectly for the manufacture of the final product of the appellant, when the final product is an excisable commodity and on which the appellant is paying Central Excise duty. In the certificate of registration dated 8.2.2006 issued by the Superintendent of Central Excise, Guntur, it is clearly mentioned that credit of input services is distributed or intended to be distributed to their manufacturing factories of ITC Ltd. at Bangalore (Karnataka), Saharanpur (Uttaranchal), Munger (Bihar). Consequently, Revenue s argument that input service distributor s operations are within the mischief of Rule 7(b) of CENVAT Credit Rules is without any foundation and is hereby rejected. Credit allowed - Decided in favor of assesseee.
