2015 (12) TMI 234 - HC - Central ExciseRecredit of CENVAT Credit previously reversed - Disallowance of credit on LDO/furnace oil - SCN issued for recredit without proper authoriation - Held that:- appellant had claimed Cenvat credit and had filed the proper invoice bills. The authority was satisfied and credit was allowed for which there is no dispute. However, for whatever reasons, the appellant reversed these Cenvat credit entries and debited the said amount in its books but subsequently, realised that they were eligible for Cenvat credit, inasmuch as furnace oil was an input as defined under the Rules, based on which, the assessee issued a letter dated 25th April, 2005 indicating its intention to again make the reversal of its Cenvat credit entries and also enclosing the original invoice bills. - show cause notice was wrongly issued on a wrong premise that no permission was taken or that original documents were not filed. In fact, we find that the appellant had not only intimated the department about its intention but also had filed the necessary documents. The letter indicated the details of the description of the goods, the invoice bills and the credit to be taken. This was in consonance with the provisions of Rule 9. If the authority had any objection they should have immediately asked the appellant for further clarifications, which in the instant case was not done. - Consequently, the reversal of entry made by the appellant was justified in the given facts and circumstances of the case. - Decided in favour of assessee.
