2003 (4) TMI 99 - SC - Central ExciseWhether the price is affected by the fact of interest free advance or remains uniform for all? Held that:- The mere fact of making an interest free advance by a buyer to the manufacturer, by itself will not be a sufficient ground to reload the assessable value with notional interest. It would be necessary for the revenue to show that such advance has influenced in the lowering of the price and that it is not depicting the normal price of the goods. In the present appeals, neither there is any evidence or proof on the record nor it is the case of the appellant on facts, that the interest free advance has influenced the price and the price lower than the normal price had been charged by the respondents. We do not think it necessary to deal with facts of each case separately since it is not in dispute that interest free advances were made by the buyers but at the same time it is also not in dispute that such advances had never influenced the price charged by the manufacturers from buyers. Appeal dismissed.
