JUDGMENT
Manisha Batra, J.
The facts relevant for the purpose of disposal of the instant appeal are that the respondent-M/s Suraj Solvents & Vanaspati Industries was engaged in the manufacture of Vanaspati Ghee and Refined Vegetable Oil. These goods fell under Chapter 15 of the Schedule 1 to the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985 (for short 'Act, 1985') and were exempted goods. During the course of the manufacture of these exempted goods, soap stock was produced which was captively consumed by the respondent in the manufacture of acid oil which was a dutiable product falling under sub-heading No.3823.00
The court established that proper reversal of Cenvat credit negates the demand for additional payments under Rule 6(3) of the Cenvat Credit Rules.
The Cenvat Credit Rules permit reversal of credit only for inputs used in exempt products, clarifying that services related to dutiable products remain eligible for credit.
