Rectification of Mistake - an oversight of a fact cannot constitute an apparent mistake rectifiable – in the garb of application for rectification, assessee cannot be allowed to reopen and reargue the whole matter :HC;

Assessee claims interest to be computed under income from business and profession and 90% of it reduced thereof as per clause (baa) of explaination of Sec.80 HHC for purpose of computation of deduction under Sec.80HHC - Income which is once included under one head at the time of assessment cannot be treated differently for other purpose - Assessee's interest income was assessed as income from other sources at the time of assessment which has not been disputed, thus cannot be included in income from business just for purpose of Sec.80HHC - Revenue 's appeal accepted :HC;

XCuSE on Service Tax

CENTRAL EXCISE SECTION

2007-TIOL-896-CESTAT-MUM.doc + indorama story.doc

Notification 29/2004CE - Since the primary issue is whether separate registration of DTY unit is proper or not, prayer of appellant for waiver of pre-deposit of duty is to be granted - Stay ordered from recovery of duty, penalties etc. by Tribunal.

As for Revenue's stay applications, the effect of granting stay would be to restore the order of the Deputy Commissioner revoking the separate registration granted to DTY unit, which order stands cancelled by the Commissioner(A) and this would amount to granting the Revenue's prayer in the appeal at the interim stage, which is not permissible.:Cestat;

2007-TIOL-895-CESTAT-MUM.doc

Assessable value of unprinted glass bottles should be in accordance with the established principles of accounting and should be arrived at as per CAS-4 and not by adopting the backward calculation method starting from the cost/sale price of printed bottles of Unit No.II - Matter remanded

Commissioner's decision to demand duty based on the sale value of the printed bottles on the main ground that the sale of unprinted bottles claimed is of 'cooked up' or 'manipulated' sale cannot be accepted as the printed bottles are not excisable and the sale price of printed bottles includes expenses like packing charges, etc, which will not be relevant in determining the assessable value of unprinted bottles at earlier stage.

Price lists filed approved provisionally & differential duty demands raised were dropped by Asstt. Commr - Commissioner's order confirming demand during the period when the above price lists were in vogue cannot be sustained. :Cestat;
