1998 (4) TMI 134 - SC - Central ExciseWhether the installation and commissioning charges are exigible to excise duty? Held that:- The judgment passed by the Assistant Collector as also by the Tribunal that installation and commissioning charges have to be treated as assessable value of the goods supplied by the appellants are not correct and are liable to be set aside. Since we are disposing of these appeals on merits on coming to the conclusion that the installation and commissioning charges could not be included in the value of the goods, the question of limitation relating to the show cause notice issued under Rule 9(2) read with Section 11A of the Act for the period from 1982-83 to 1987-88 is not decided. The appeals are accordingly partly allowed, the judgment and orders dated May 3, 1985; May 17, 1985 and June 1, 1985 as also the show cause notice dated August 4, 1987 issued by the Collector of Central Excise and his order passed thereon together with the judgment passed by the Tribunal in that regard to the extent they relate to inclusion of installation and commissioning charges are set aside without being any order as to costs.
