In the BDH Industries [2008 (7) TMI 78 - CESTAT MUMBAI], it was held that the suo motu credit of duty or refund cannot be taken by assessee without sanction by a proper officer. Appeal dismissed - decided against appellant. - Appeal No. E/58508/2013-EX[SM] - Final Order No. 60695/2018 - Dated:- 9-2-2018 - Mr. Devender Singh, Member (Technical) For the Appellant : Sh. B.L. Yadav, Consultant For the Respondent : Sh. Harvinder Singh, A.R. ORDER Per : Devender Singh The appellant are in appeal against the Order-in-Appeal No. 70/CE/Appl/D-II/13 dated 03.04.2013 passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals), Delhi-II. 2.

He also invited attention to para 6 of the Order-in-Appeal and stated that the Delhi Collectorate under Trade Notice No. 83/69 dt. 24.07.1969 clarified that if the assessee makes a mistake in calculating the balance in his PLA or commits an error in calculation on any gate pass, he may make debit or credit entry in PLA.

One of the documents is supplementary invoice issued by the manufacturer from his factory on which the recipient can take the Cenvat credit.

I find that in the said case there was suo motu availment of duty paid twice and the Tribunal took the view that the Larger Bench s judgment of this Tribunal in the case of BDH Industries Ltd vs. Commissioner 2008 (229) ELT 364 (Tri.
