Madras Wire Fabricators vs Collector Of Central Excise on 14 February, 1991
The learned Chartered Accountant submitted that this is sufficient declaration for the purposes of availing Modvat and in support of this contention cited Tribunal's decision reported in 1990 (47) E.L.T. 292 (Tribunal) in the case of Madras Fabricators v. Collector of Central Excise wherein the Tribunal held that declaration for the input lacquered tin sheets can be construed to cover plain tin sheets also. Shri Satnam Singh, the learned Departmental Representative contended that the appellant herein ought to have filed specific declaration indicating aluminium foil as an input. The declaration already recorded is for the packets. This requirement they ought to have fulfilled even for availing Modvat on the foil sheets pursuant to a favourable order for the appellant authority.
