However, having examined the documents available in the Intelligence Report, the Tribunal has concluded that the necessary documents were available only to the extent of the turnover of Rs.1,65,32,500/- and the learned Advocate had not filed the documentary evidence in respect of the remaining portion of the turnover. In RECKITT COLMAN OF INDIA LTD.

Heard Shri. T. Suryanarayana, learned Senior Advocate for the assessee and Shri. Jeevan J.Neeralgi, learned AGA for the Revenue. 3. Shri.

Therefore, the KAT having considered the material on record, has rightly limited the relief. 8. We have carefully considered rival contentions and perused the records. 9. At the outset, we may record that the KAT has noted in para 22 of the impugned order that the exemption was denied on the premise that Bill of lading was not endorsed by the assessee.
