A162 (S.C.), has upheld the Tribunal Order Nos. 209 210/95-A, dated 8-3-95 which held that expenses incurred on account of additional tests conducted on customers requisitions are not includible in the assessable value.

As against the above, learned JDR relied upon another circular of Board being No. 643/34/2002-CX., dated 1-7-02.

The same does not relate to the pre-inspection conducted by the manufacturer at the behest of their buyer. The issue stands discussed in detail by Commissioner (Appeals), who has followed the precedent decisions of the Tribunal as also Board's circular. We find no infirmity in the said order of the Commissioner (Appeals). 6. Accordingly, the appeal filed by the Revenue is rejected. (Dictated Pronounced in Court) - - Tax .....
