Commissioner Of Central Excise-I,New ... vs M/S S.R. Tissues Pvt. Ltd. & Anr on 5 August, 2005
On the facts of the present case, we have first,
therefore, to arrive at whether there is “manufacture” at all
and only subsequently does the question arise as to if this
is so, what is the valuation of the processed goods and
whether duty is payable upon them. We have found on facts
that for the purposes of the proviso to Rule 57F(ii), the
inputs that were not ultimately used in the final product but
were removed from the factory for home consumption remain the
same despite ED coating and consequent value addition. We
follow the law laid down in S.R. Tissues Pvt. Ltd.'s case and
state that on account of mere value addition without more it
would be hazardous to say that manufacture has taken place,
when in fact, it has not. It is clear, therefore, that the
inputs procured by the appellants in the present case,
continue to be the same inputs even after ED coating and that
Rule 57F(ii) proviso would therefore apply when such inputs
are removed from the factory for home consumption, the duty
of excise payable being the amount of credit that has been
availed in respect of such inputs under Rule 57A.

Siddhartha Tubes Ltd vs Commissioner Of Customs & Central ... on 16 December, 2005
Shri Guru Krishna Kumar, learned senior counsel, then
cited Siddhartha Tubes Ltd. v. Commissioner of Customs &
Central Excise, Indore (M.P.)[(2005) 13 SCC 559]. This case
again concerned manufacture of galvanised pipes. This court,
in a very significant passage, stated:
Brakes India Ltd. vs Supdt. Of Central Excise And Ors. on 13 March, 1997
One such decision, namely, Brakes India
Limited v. Superintendent of Central Excise and others [1997
(10) SCC 717] dealt with brake lining blanks. It was found
on facts that these brake lining blanks purchased by the
C.A. NO. 8190 OF 2003 12
appellant could not be used as brake linings by themselves
without the process of drilling, trimming and chamfering.
Siddhartha Tubes Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Central Excise on 16 March, 2000
First, he referred us to
'Sidhartha Tubes Limited v. Collector of Central Excise'
[2000 (10) SCC 194]. Since this judgment was also the only
judgment relied upon by CEGAT in the impugned order, it is a
little important to understand what exactly was held therein.
In this case, the appellant manufactured mild steel pipes and
tubes. At this stage, the product was known as “black pipe”.
Part of the production of the black pipe was then taken to a
separate shed in the appellant's factory premises and
galvanised. On facts in that case, the appellants had
C.A. NO. 8190 OF 2003 9
themselves in their classification list separately declared
black pipes and galvanised pipes as their products. In such
a situation, this Court held that while the process of
galvanisation by itself may not amount to manufacture, yet
since it added to the intrinsic value of the product declared
by the appellants themselves separately as galvanised pipes,
the value of galvanised pipes would include the element of
the cost of galvanisation.
Union Of India & Ors. Etc vs J.G. Glass Industries Ltd. Etc on 9 December, 1997
It was then held following Union of India v. J.G.
Glass Industries Ltd.[ 1998 (97) E.L.T. 5] that there is a
fundamental distinction between manufacture and processing.
Decorative Liminates (India) Pvt. Ltd vs Collector Of Central Excise, Bangalore on 31 July, 1996
In the case of Decorative Laminates
(India) Pvt. Ltd. v. Collector of Central Excise,
Bangalore reported in 1996 (86) E.L.T. 186, this
Court held that the process of application of
phenol resin on duty paid plywood under 100% heat
amounts to manufacture and in that connection
observed that value addition and separate use are
also relevant factors which the Courts should
consider in deciding the applicability of Section
2(f) of the Act. Therefore, value addition based
on price difference only without any change in
the name, character or end-use is a dangerous
criteria to be applied in judging what
constitutes “manufacture”. Lastly, the end-use
in both the entries 4803 & 4818.90 is the same,
namely, for sanitary or household purposes. In
the circumstances, value addition criteria as
applied by the Commissioner is erroneous.”
Shri Guru Krishna Kumar, learned senior counsel, also
cited two other decisions in support of the proposition that,
in fact, manufacture had taken place on the facts of the
present case.
