On 08.06.2018 nobody appeared for the appellant nor have any copies of agreements been submitted or sent so far. In order to give further opportunity to the appellant to present their case, the matter was adjourned to today. Still nobody appeared on behalf of the appellant, nor has any request been sent explaining why they could not be able to appear.

On the question of limitation of time, I find that the appellant had disclosed the full value of the credit which they have taken in the ER-1, but they have not disclosed the components of the credit which they have taken. The ER-1 during the relevant period also did not provide details of the credit taken. However, working in the scheme of self assessment, it is the responsibility of the appellant to ensure that the amount of credit which they have taken is as per the eligibility under the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.
