..... cant further filed two appeals before the Tribunal. The Tribunal by the impugned order, has dismissed both the appeals. The case of the applicant was that it had not realised any amount from its customers and, therefore, the provisions of section 29A of the Act does not apply. It is further contended that the tax has been paid on the turnover determined under the statutory formula contemplated under section 8A of the Central Act and merely because the tax payable was deducted from the amount realised from the customers towards the sale consideration to arrive to the net turnover, it cannot be presumed that the tax had been realised. The Tribunal has held that the applicant had not paid the tax on the turnover determined as per the formula g .....
