2020 (5) TMI 530 - HC - VAT and Sales TaxRevision of order - change of opinion - Notification No.A-5-1-94/ST-V (55) dated 30.03.1994 - section 9 (2) of Central Tax Act, 1956 read with section 19 (1) of the M.P. General Sales Tax Act, 1958 - exemption from payment of tax granted on “all kinds of footwear made of PVC and chappals made of rubber and straps there of the sale price of which did not exceed ₹ 50/- per pair”. Whether proper interpretation has been done by the Madhya Pradesh Commercial Tax Appellate Board by holding that the notification was not general to class of goods, and therefore, the assessee was not entitled for the benefit of exemption from payment of tax under Section 8 (2A) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956? HELD THAT:- The notification in the present case exempting all kind of footwear made of PVC, chappals made of rubber and straps there of the sale price of which does not exceed ₹ 50/- per pair, can never said to be a general exemption, as it is conditioned by specified circumstances - the Madhya Pradesh Commercial Tax Appellate Board was justified in holding that the exemption granted from payment of tax is not a general exemption and the assessee is not entitled to the benefit of exemption from payment of tax under Section 8 (2A) of the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. The questions of law are accordingly, answered in affirmative.
