..... r Section 27(2) of the said Act stating that the other end dealers have not reported sales turnover. Even in this regard, there is no discussion as to how such an issue was taken up by the respondent for consideration and there is no material borne out even in the show cause notices. Therefore, the proposal to reverse the input tax credit under Section 27(2) of the said Act is also erroneous and not sustainable. With regard to levy of penalty, admittedly there is no allegation that there is any escapement of taxable turnover and when the books were accepted by the Authority, the question of levy of penalty does not arise.

While considering the said case, it was held that the circular issued by the Commissioner clearly states that so long as the vendor is found to be a registered dealer on the files of the Revenue, the claim of the assessee for refund could not be rejected nor delayed.

Section 19(1) states that input-tax credit can be claimed by a registered dealer, if he establishes that the tax due on such purchase has been paid by him in the manner prescribed and that was accepted at the time when the self-assessment was made.
