Interest on irregular cenvat credit – Held that - On a plain reading of the above rule it is clear that since the respondent assessee used the Cenvat credit wrongly he became liable to pay duty along with interest as provided under the said rules. The provisions of Sections 11A, 11AA and 11AB provided for procedure for recovery of the said duty along with interest in case the assessee fails to pay the same. - the Tribunal was not justified in reversing the concurrent findings of the Assessing Officer and the First Appellate Authority in levying interest on the amount of credit which was availed by the respondent-assessee wrongly though the same was paid by the assessee prior to issuance of show cause notice. With the result the substantial question of law formulated in this appeal is answered in favour of the appellant Revenue.

Admissibility of credit on capital goods (power unit) which have been sold but not removed from premises - transactions of sale of power unit and simultaneous lease of premises are wisely resorted to by the assessee as a device to avoid the tax liability on it - said purchaser, after purchasing the power unit from the assessee, has been enjoying the same as its absolute owner and has been supplying to the assessee the power generated from the said power unit on payment basis - this being so it is quite evident that the assessee-company lost its ownership and also control over the said power unit - Tribunal without proper appreciation of the said transactions has allowed the appeal of the assessee-company – revenue’s appeal allowed

Issues: 1. Recovery of Cenvat credit and penalty for availing credit on inputs not used in manufacturing excisable goods.
Analysis: The case involved an appeal filed by the Revenue against an order allowing the appeal of the respondents regarding the recovery of Cenvat credit and penalty for allegedly availing credit on inputs not used in the manufacture of excisable goods. The respondents, engaged in manufacturing man-made yarn under the Cenvat credit scheme, cleared yarn after rewinding and repacking, using certain inputs for which they availed credit. The dispute arose when the Revenue contended that the processing of rewinding and repacking did not amount to manufacture, thus the credit on inputs used in such activities should not be allowed.
The Commissioner (Appeals) had set aside the demand and penalty, holding that credit cannot be denied for inputs used in activities like reconditioning or remaking defective products during the manufacturing process. However, the appellate tribunal disagreed with this reasoning. The tribunal found that the rewinding and repacking done by the respondents did not constitute manufacturing but rather amounted to repairing the goods, for which credit on inputs is not permissible. The tribunal emphasized that the manufacturer is not entitled to credit for inputs used in repair activities as repair does not qualify as manufacturing under the Cenvat Credit Rules.
Therefore, the tribunal set aside the impugned order of the Commissioner (Appeals) and restored the order of the adjudicating authority, which confirmed the demand for recovery of Cenvat credit and imposition of penalty on the respondents. The appeal filed by the Revenue was allowed based on the principle that credit on inputs used for repair activities, such as rewinding and repacking, is not admissible under the Cenvat Credit Rules.
