As a result of closure of factory, the Department initiated proceedings against the appellant and confirmed the cenvat demand along with interest. Penalty was also imposed on the appellant. The reasons assigned for confirmation of demand are as under:- (i) Non-reversal Cenvat credit on cylinder valves (Rs.1,37,378/-) (ii) Non-reversal of cenvat credit on scrap and discarded capital goods at the time of closure of the factory (Rs.4,25,704/-) (iii) Delayed reversal of cenvat credit (Rs.2,20,704/-) (iv) Cenvat credit passed on to the customers under invoices issued in the capacity of the first stage dealer (Rs.50,207/-) 3 .....
