This appeal is filed against OIA No.SRP/33/DMN/2013-14, dt.30.04.2013, passed by Commissioner (Appeals), C.Ex. S.Tax, Vapi. 3. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the Appellants had availed CENVAT Credit of ₹ 1,56,325/- on the inputs, the value of which was shown to have been written off, under the category of other income , in their books of accounts.
