EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HISTORY OF TAXATION
In India, the system of taxation as it is known today has been in force in one form or
another even from ancient times. There are references both in Manu Smriti and
Arthasastra to a variety of tax measures.
The origin of the word "Tax" is from "Taxation" which means an estimate. The levies
and taxes in various forms were imposed to meet the needs of the governments for
their military and civil expenditure, safety towards the common needs of the citizens.
CONCEPT OF INDIRECT TAXATION
Indirect taxes, ranging from VAT and customs duties to environmental levies, affect
the supply chain and the financial system. They create unique challenges to multi-
national tax functions.
CONSTITUTIONAL BACKGROUND OF INDIRECT TAXATION
Indian Constitution has given powers to Central Govt. and State Govt. to levy various
taxes and duties. Powers of Central and State Govt. are enlisted in Seventh Schedule
to our Constitution.
Excise is a duty on excisable goods manufactured or produced in India. Each word of
this definition is vitally important to fix liability of Central Excise Duty. Power to
levy excise duty is derived from Constitution.

3. THEOROTICAL BACKGROUND
INDIRECT TAX SYSTEM IN INDIA
India has a well developed tax structure with a three-tier federal structure, comprising
the Union Government, the State Governments and the Urban/Rural Local Bodies.
The power to levy taxes and duties is distributed among the three tiers of
governments, in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Constitution.
The main duties that the Union Government is empowered to levy are Income Tax,
Customs duties, Central Excise and Sales Tax and Service Tax.
The principal taxes levied by the State Governments are Sales Tax (tax on intra-State
sale of goods), Stamp Duty (duty on transfer of property), State Excise (duty on
manufacture of alcohol), Land Revenue (levy on land used for agricultural/non-
agricultural purposes), Duty on Entertainment and Tax on Professions & Callings.
Union Government
State Governments
Urban/Rural Local Bodies

The Local Bodies are empowered to levy tax on properties (buildings, etc.), Octroi
(tax on entry of goods for use/consumption within areas of the Local Bodies), Tax on
Markets and Tax/User Charges for utilities like water supply, drainage, etc.
SINCE 1991 TAX SYSTEM IN INDIA HAS UNDER GONE RADICAL
CHANGES.
Reduction in customs and excise duties Lowering corporate tax Widening of the tax base and matching up the tax administration
INDIRECT TAXES REFORMS
The indirect tax rule in India is still in the early stages of growth. Both the Centraland State governments charge a multitude of indirect taxes. The central
government charges tax on goods at the point of import (Customs duty),
manufacture (Excise duty), interstate sales (Central sales tax or CST) and on
provision of services (Service tax).
The state governments charge tax on goods sold within the state (Sales tax/ValueAdded Tax or VAT), and on the goods that enter the state (Entry tax).
In the present scenario corporate would have to analyze the tax cost involved in atransaction, have enough backup documentation to support their tax positions and
keep looking for ways for tax maximization.

WHAT IS A TAX?
A compulsory contribution made by the assessee to the government from his earnings.
HOW MANY TYPES OF TAXES ARE THERE?
There are two types of Taxes in India
DIRECT TAXES INDIRECT TAXESDirect tax refers to the type of tax which has to be paid by the person on whom it is
imposed and cannot b transferred on another person, ex-corporate tax and income tax.
Indirect tax refers to the type of tax which is imposed on one person but is transferred
to another. Ex-vat and sales tax are the taxes which are imposed on a product and
therefore on a retailer but the retailer realize it from the customers.
CONCEPT OF INDIRECT TAXATION
An indirect tax is a tax collected by an agent (such as a retail store) from the person
who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax (such as the consumer). The agent
later files a tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to government with the return. In
this sense, the term indirect tax is contrasted with a direct tax which is collected
directly by government from the persons (legal or natural) on which it is imposed.

IMPORTANCE OF TAXATION:
Without taxation there is no nation. Without some form of formal governance, no
group larger than a small village can operate. Things that are jointly needed, like
roads, hospitals, armed forces for protection, police, etc, all require taxation to
operate.
A nation cannot be built by individuals. It requires the combined efforts of all
members of society. It means that some must work entirely for the public good, for
example building roads or canals, ports, etc, and they must be provided for by the rest
of society. The only practical way to do that is through some form of taxation.

TYPES OF INDIRECT TAXES
A] THE CENTRAL EXCISE:
The Central Excise duty is levied in terms of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and the
rates of duty are prescribed under the Schedule I and II of the Central Excise Tariff
Act, 1985. The taxable event under the Central Excise law is manufacture /
production and the liability of Central Excise duty arises as soon as the goods are
manufactured or produced. As per the Central Excise Act, duty is leviable only on
excisable goods. I.e. Goods specified in Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985.
The Central Excise Officers are also entrusted to collect other types of duties levied
under Additional Duties (Goods of Special Importance) Act, Additional Duties
(Textiles and Textiles Articles) Act, and Cess etc.
In 2001, new Central Excise (No.2) Rules, 2001 have replaced the Central Excise
Rules, 1944 with effect from 1 July 2001. Other rules have also been notified namely,
CENVAT Credit Rules, 2001, Central Excise Appeal Rules, 2001etc.
There are less numbers of rules, only 32 as compared to 234 earlier. With the
introduction of the new rules several changes have been effected in the procedures.
The new procedures are simplified.
Excise duty is an indirect tax levied and collected on goods manufactures in India.
An excise or excise tax (also called an excise duty) is a type of tax charged on goods
produced within the country. It is a tax on the production or sale of a good. This tax
is now known as the Central Value Added Tax (CENVAT).

WHAT IS CENTRAL EXCISE? HOW IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER TAXES:
"Excise', as stated in the Oxford Dictionary, was originally 'acise' , a word derived
from the Latin, 'accensav', meaning 'to tax'.
The primary and fundamental meaning of 'Excise Duty' or 'Duty of Excise' is tax on
articles produced or manufactured in the taxing country and intended for home
consumption (i.e. consumption within the same country).
It is an indirect duty which the manufacturer or producer passes on to the ultimate
consumer, that is, its ultimate incidence will always be on the consumer.
IMPORTANT ROLE OF CENTRAL EXCISE IN INDIA:
Central Excise revenue is the biggest single source of revenue for the Governmentof India.
The Union Government also tries to achieve different socio-economic objectivesby making suitable adjustments in the scope and quantum of levy of Central
Excise duty.
The scheme of Central Excise levy is suitably adapted and modified to servedifferent purposes of price control, industrial growth, promotion of small scale
industries and the like.
WHO ARE LIABLE TO PAY EXCISE DUTY?
The liability to pay tax excise duty is always on the manufacturer or producer of
goods. There are three types of parties who can be considered as manufacturers:
Those who personally manufacture the goods Those who get the goods manufactured by employing hired labour Those who get the goods manufactured by other parties

TYPES OF CENTRAL EXCISE DUTIES
Under the custom laws, the following are the various types of duties which are
leviable.
There are three types of Central Excise duties collected in India namely
Basic excise duty
This is the duty charged under section 3 of the Central Excise Act, 1944 on all
excisable goods other than salt which are produced or manufactured in India at the
rates set forth in the schedule to the Central Excise tariff Act, 1985.
Additional duty of excise
Section 3 of the Additional duties of Excise (goods of special importance) Act, 1957
authorizes the levy and collection in respect of the goods described in the Schedule to
this Act. This is levied in lieu of sales tax and shared between Central and State
Governments. These are levied under different enactments like medicinal and toilet
preparations, sugar etc. and other industries development etc.
Special excise duty
As per the Section 37 of the Finance Act, 1978 Special excise Duty was attracted on
all excisable goods on which there is a levy of Basic excise Duty under the Central
Excises and Salt Act, 1944.Since then each year the relevant provisions of the Finance
Act specifies that the Special Excise Duty shall be or shall not be levied and collected
during the relevant financial year.

B] CUSTOMS
Customs duty is on imports into India and export out of India. Section 12 of Customs
Act, often called charging section, provides that duties of customs shall be levied at
such rates as may be specified under The Customs Tariff Act, 1975, or any other law
for the time being in force, on goods imported into, or exported from, India.
TYPES OF CUSTOM DUTIES
Basic Customs Duty
All goods imported into India are chargeable to a duty under Customs Act, 1962 .The
rates of this duty, popularly known as basic customs duty, are indicated in the First
Schedule of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 as amended from time to time under
Finance Acts. The duty may be fixed on basis or specific rate basis. The duty may be
a percentage of the value of the goods or at a specific rate. The Central Government
has the power to reduce or exempt any good from these duties.
Safeguard Duty
Central Government is empowered to impose 'safeguard duty' on specified imported
goods if Central Government is satisfied that the goods are being imported in large
quantities and under such conditions that they are causing or threatening to cause
serious injury to domestic industry. Such duty is permissible under WTO agreement.
Safeguard is a step in providing a need-based protection to domestic industry for a
limited period, with ultimate objective of restoring free and fair competition

Protective Duties
Tariff Commission has been established under Tariff Commission Act, 1951. If the
Tariff Commission recommends and Central Government is satisfied that immediate
action is necessary to protect interests of Indian industry, protective customs duty at
the rate recommended may be imposed under section 6 of Customs Tariff Act. The
protective duty will be valid till the date prescribed in the notification.
Anti Dumping Duty
Often, large manufacturer from abroad may export goods at very low prices compared
to prices in his domestic market. Such dumping may be with intention to cripple
domestic industry or to dispose of their excess stock. This is called 'dumping'. In order
to avoid such dumping, Central Government can impose, under section 9A of
Customs Tariff Act, anti-dumping duty up to margin of dumping on such articles, if
the goods are being sold at less than its normal value. Levy of such anti-dumping duty
is permissible as per WTO agreement. Anti dumping action can be taken only when
there is an Indian industry producing 'like articles'.

C] SERVICE TAX
Service Tax was first brought into force with effect from 1 July 1994. Service Tax is a
form of indirect tax imposed on specified services called "taxable services".
Service tax cannot be levied on any service which is not included in the list of taxable
services. Over the past few years, service tax been expanded to cover new services.
The objective behind levying service tax is to reduce the degree of intensity of
taxation on manufacturing and trade without forcing the government to compromise
on the revenue needs.
The intention of the government is to gradually increase the list of taxable services
until most services fall within the scope of service tax
Some of the major services that come under the ambit of Service Tax are:
Telephone Stockbroker General Insurance Courier agencies Air travel agents Architects Management Consultants Practicing Chartered Accountants Real Estates Agents/Consultants Credit Rating Agencies Underwriters Agencies

MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
To understand the concept of Cenvat credit and the charging section of the same. To understand the situations in which Cenvat credit can be availed. To know the various section relating to penalties if the Cenvat credit is wrongly
availed.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
The accusation about wrong availment of Cenvat credit made on the party isbasically wrong because the process of manufacture can be seen as a process of de
coiling, slitting, notching etc are intermediate stages of manufacture and thus no
doubt these activities are as per the said definition.
In addition to this the reason that Cenvat credit is legally claimed is because thecoil which is purchased is an input for manufacture of final product and thus credit
is allowed on it.

3.2 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
CENVAT
Meaning: The term CENVAT refers to excise duty under Sec 3 of the central Excise
Act 1944. CENVAT is a scheme under Central excise and service tax law which
enables manufacturers to take credit of their specified duties paid on eligible inputs
and capital goods as well as Service tax paid on notified input services which are
received with specified duty/tax paying documents and used in, or in relation to
manufacture and clearance of dutiable final product.
1986 Modified value added tax i.e. modvat introduced by the central government
which enabled the manufacturers to avail credit of excise duty paid on the input used
in or in relation to manufacture of end product.
Offset of duty paid on input stage against duty payable at the final stage.
In 1994, modvat was extended to capital goods modvat scheme was changed to be
called central value added tax scheme i.e. Cenvat scheme.
In 2000 with the object to combine and unify the rules 57aa to 57ak for capital goods
and input goods into one set of rules the Cenvat credit rules, 2001 was framed it was
further simplified and reviewed into new Cenvat credit rules 2002.
Scheme designed to reduce the cascading effect of indirect taxes on final products.

THE BENEFITS OF CENVAT
One of the reasons why Cenvat is chosen as a tax system is that it is said to stimulate
the production of goods and services within a country. This is because under this
system manufacturers get credits when they choose to buy their materials locally and
these credits can be used against tax on the finished product. This is good for the local
economy because it means that the manufacturer will be less tempted to buy materials
abroad in countries where there is less tax to be paid.
The fact that the manufacturer pays less tax on their finished goods due to credits
because they bought materials locally means that they can then sell their product for
less. This encourages people to buy and so this will further stimulate the local
economy. All in all this type of system is seen as a good way to keep a country
prosperous and producing plenty of goods.
As well as stimulating local production there are also many other benefits to the
Cenvat scheme. As we have already mentioned it is based on the same idea as value
added tax and this has been shown to be a very successful form of taxation. This is
because there tends to be a lot less tax evasion and thus increased compliance and
more tax revenue for the government. The other notable benefit of this type of
taxation is that it is a lot more transparent than other forms of taxation.

CENVAT IN ACTION
The scheme was originally called Modvat (modified VAT) and the purpose of this
was to allow the manufacturer to take credit of excise duty paid on raw materials that
they use to make their products. The Modvat scheme was later renamed Cenvat; it
also changed slightly because Cenvat had less restrictions than Modvat. The use of
Cenvat proved very successful in India because it provided manufacturers with a great
incentive.
ADVANTAGES OF CENVAT:
The CENVAT scheme is very liberal and user friendly. All industries will certainly derive of the benefit of the CENVAT scheme,
more so when the applicability has become wider and record keeping has been
made much easier.
Due to easy compliance and acceptance of the scheme by many industriesthere will be better compliance by the assesse which will ultimately increase
revenue to government.

MEANING OF LEVY
Section 3 uses the words levy and collection. Article 265 of Constitution also uses the
same words. Levy means imposition of tax. Once a tax or duty is imposed, it has to be
quantified (assessed) and then collected. Once a duty is levied it has to be collected.
However, constitution specially uses the words levy and collection.
Hence, it has been held that the term levy includes both impositions of tax as well as
assessment.
ASSESSEE AND ASSESSMENT
The assessee means one who is assessed.
He himself has to determine classification and valuation of goods and pay duty
accordingly.
Assessment means determining the tax liability.
Duty is paid by the manufacturer on his own while clearing goods from the
factory/warehouse, on self assessment.
GOODS
The word goods define goods as goods include all materials, commodities and
articles. As per judicial explanation, for purpose of levy of Excise Duty, an article
must satisfy two requirements to be goods i.e.
Goods must be movable Goods must be Marketable.EXCISABLE GOODS
Goods excisable even if exempt from Duty Excisable goods do not become non-
excisable goods merely because they are exempt from duty by an exemption
notification.

completion of manufactured product or (ii) which is specified in relation to any goods
in the Section or Chapter notes of the 1st schedule to the Central Excise Tariff Act,
1985 as amounting to manufacture or (iii) which in relation to goods specified in 3rd

PROCESSING AND MANUFACTURE
Processing can amount to manufacture if a new & identifiable product known in the
market emerges.
In the Central Excise Tariff Act, operations like labeling, sorting, packing and
repacking from large pack to small pack etc. have been termed as Process.
In the manufacture of goods the entire process carried out by the dealer of converting
raw materials into finished goods should normally include the entire process carried
out by the dealer of converting raw materials into finished goods.
MANUFACTURE MUST BE IN INDIA
Under Section 3 of Central Excise Act is that excisable goods must be manufactured
or produced in India. Thus, excise levy cannot be imposed on imported goods or
goods manufactured in Foreign Countries. This is also true if goods are imported in
Semi knocked Down or Completely Knocked Down condition and they are only
assembled in India, as no new product is emerges. However if goods are classified as
per rules of classification as complete machine as per legal fiction but actually
components or subassemblies are imported, its assembly in India will amount to
manufacture and excise duty will be payable.

4.3 CASE DESCRIPTION
The issue involved in this case is in respect of refund claims of the respondent
company rejected by the adjudicating authority
But on appeal, the Commissioner (Appeals) allowed the appeal of the respondent
company.
The refund claim ought not to have been sanctioned to the respondent company, as
they had issued Credit Notes to their Purchasers.
The Commissioner, in this context, relies upon the decided case-laws wherein it has
been settled that refund cannot be sanctioned on the basis of Credit Notes being issued
to the Purchasers of the goods.
None appeared for the respondent company, despite notice.
Considered the submissions made by Commissioner and perused the records. It was
found that the Commissioner (Appeals) in his findings observed the followings:-
When going through the order in original; there is no dispute that the appellant made
over-payment because of some calculation mistake. Therefore, the amount claimed by
the appellant did not represent excise duty at all. The amount, therefore, should be
refunded to the appellant.
No evidence in support of this finding was shown in the negotiation order.
Besides, the authority did not find it necessary to consider the appellant's request that
credit notes were issued to their buyers maintain their claims that the amount was not
bear by their customers as excise duty.
-
8/3/2019 EXIDE New New
57/79
57
The appellant also issued commercial bills showing the correct amount of excise duty.
Therefore, it was unable to accept the adjudicating authority's finding that the amount
was passed on to the buyers.
From the above, it is very clear that the Commissioner (Appeals) had considered all
the aspects of the case-laws relied upon by the authority before me.
Coming to the conclusion that the payment of duty by the respondent company is due
to a mistake, and the said mistake has resulted in excess payment of amount to the
government.
Since the excess amount has not been recovered by the respondents from their
purchasers, the respondents were eligible for refund of the said amount.
