2020 (5) TMI 521 - AT - Central ExciseCENVAT Credit - capital goods or not - structural items used for supporting the capital goods - HELD THAT:- From the definition of capital goods, it is clear that anything which can be called as component spare and accessory of the goods falling under Chapters 82, 84, 85 and 90 of the Excise Tariff Act shall also be called as capital goods - In the present case, it is the submission of the appellant that the MS Structure is neither fabricated nor has been erected post fabrication by the appellant, but it has been purchased from the manufacturer of the boiler, the capital good itself. The said broilers are used in manufacture of appellant's final product. It is emphasized that the boiler manufacturer himself is selling the structure, it being utmost necessary for the said boiler to be put to use. The invoices as emphasized by the appellant (as placed on record) sufficiently supports the contention of the appellant. What stands excluded to be called as input is the structure which is fabricated out of the objects like MS Angles/Sheets/ Joints Fights, etc. The same is not true for the structure in the present case. Mere nomenclature of a part of the boiler as MS Structure is not sufficient to falsify the ‘User Test’ principle as was laid down by Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE, JAIPUR VERSUS M/S RAJASTHAN SPINNING & WEAVING MILLS LTD. [2010 (7) TMI 12 - SUPREME COURT]. The issue involved herein is no more res integra. It rather stands decided in favour of appellant itself in another appeal. The appellant has otherwise proved the MS Structure to not to be fabricated by the appellant but to have been purchased as an integral part of his capital goods i.e. biomass boiler, required by appellant to manufacture its final product i. e. Soap - appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
