..... this submission also fails. With regard to the other aspects of design and validation fees, it is once again the grievance of the department that the respondent herein had not furnished the bill of material containing components / assemblies for these projects and the constituents of locally procured components etc. before the Adjudicating Authority but produced only before the Appellate Authority. Once again, we state that it is not the case of the department that the bill of material containing the list of component and other bills were not at all filed and what was filed was per se tainted with false documents. There is nothing that prevented the department from calling for these particulars and examine the genuineness of the documen .....

..... revenue and respondent-importer filed appeals before Commissioner (Appeals). The lower appellate authority set aside the addition of value on the subject goods and rejected Revenue's appeal. Hence these appeals by Revenue. 2. Heard Shri K. Veerabhadra Reddy, JC (A.R) for the appellant-Revenue and Shri P. Saravanan, Advocate for the respondent-importer. 3. The Ld.

The payment towards Engineering Design and Development is in respect of W 201 plastic fuel tank assembly which is to be manufactured in India.
