Commissioner Of Central Excise vs M/S. Bhushan Steel Ltd

Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal24 February 2015

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Tribunal holds that welding electrodes used for the repair and maintenance of plant and machinery are inputs on which Cenvat credit may be availed, following its own earlier final order in the respondent's case for a subsequent period, and that the Commissioner (Appeals) was therefore correct to allow the credit.

M/s. Bhushan Steel Ltd. Respondent

Appearance:

Shri R K Mishra, AR for the Appellants

CORAM:

Hon'ble Shri Ashok Jindal, Member (Judicial)

Date of Hearing /decision: 24.02.2015

ORDER NO. FO/ A 50462 /2015-Ex(SM)

Per Ashok Jindal :

The short issue involved in this matter is that respondent is availing input service credit on welding electrodes which has been used for repair and maintenance of plant and machinery or not.

2. In respondents own case for the subsequent period vide Final Order No. A/50138/2015 SM(Br) dated 20.01.2015, this Tribunal has held that respondent is entitled to avail Cenvat credit on the welding electrodes which has been used for repair and maintenance of plant and machinery. Therefore, following the precedent decision in respondents own case, I hold that learned Commissioner (Appeals) has rightly allowed the Cenvat credit on welding electrodes. Consequently, impugned order is upheld and appeal filed by the Revenue is dismissed.
