All the appeals are arising out of the common order-in-original based upon the investigation against Muni Group of companies relating to fraudulent availment of CENVAT credit amounting to Rs. 11,61,61,197/- (Eleven Crore Sixty One Lakh Sixty One Thousand One hundred Ninety Seven only) and thereafter passing it so as to get it encashed or utilise it for payment of duty liability.

RE-1s or invoices by the merchant exporter/Rule 12B manufacturers, the cheques were discounted and cash payments against the cheque were made back to the merchant exporters/Rule 12B manufacturers subject to payment of certain commission to the middleman and to the cheque discounting man. Investigation also revealed that as and when account payee cheques were issued by the merchant exporters/Rule 12B manufacturers these cheques were deposited in different accounts of Muni Group of Companies and equal amount of bearer cheques were issued to the merchant exporters/Rule 12B manufacturers from these accounts. In some cases, some payments have been shown to be made in the account to the local supplier of Surat against supply of fabric/textile item, etc. which have been exported against ARE-1s/Rule 12B manufacturers. The claim of the merchant exporter/Rule 12B manufacturers relating to the transport of the goods from the Muni Group of companies to the purported buyers viz: merchant exporter/Rule 12B manufacturers were found to be false as the transporters were found to be non-existent and bogus.

In respect of appellant No. 4 and 6, it was submitted that they are Rule 12B manufacturer and they have purchased grey fabrics from Muni Group of Companies and availed CENVAT credit of the duty paid by Muni Group of Companies. Such goods were processed by job-workers who pay duty on the processed fabrics by availing CENVAT credit of duty paid by Muni Group of Companies as well as through PLA on account of value addition. It was submitted that the processed fabrics were then exported under claim for rebate. It was submitted that no rebate has been received by them in respect of 12B manufacturers. Also penalties imposed under Rule 26 on the ground that the fabrics received by them were not manufactured by Muni Group of Companies but were procured from the open market and that such goods are liable to confiscation. It was submitted that the Commissioner, however, has not indicated that as to how and under which provision of law the goods allegedly procured from the market and exported are liable to confiscation. 5.3. As far as appell .....

There is no evidence that the goods procured from the local market are liable to confiscation. It was further submitted that the goods procured from the open market are to be taken as duty paid unless shown otherwise. In support of the said contention, following case laws are quoted: (i) Commissioner of Central Excise vs. Decent Dyeing Co. 1990 (45) ELT 201 (SC); (ii) Nagpur Re-Rolling Mills vs. Commissioner of Central Excise 2001 (136) ELT 423. 5.5. It was submitted that the Commissioner has not indicated as to how and under which provision of the law goods procured from the open market and exported are liable to confiscation and no penalty can be imposed under Rule 26. 5.6. In rebuttal of ARs contention, learned counsel also submitted that the case of Sanjay Vimalbhai Deora vs. CESTAT reported in 2014 (306) ELT 533 (Guj.) quoted by the learned AR is in different context and is in the context of clandestine removal of excisable goods. It was subm ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... contraventions by all the three firms on the basis of his statement that he looked after the affairs of the three firms. It was also submitted that a penalty has been imposed only on the basis that the appellant could not explain as to how detailed packing lists could be prepared without opening the packages, failure on the part of the appellant to give name and address of the representative of the Muni Group of Companies who approached the three firms and on the basis that the actual beneficiary of certain cheques issued to M/s. Muni Group of Companies by the three firms were firms like M/s. Eagle Textile, Metro Industries etc. indicating that they were actual suppliers and not Muni Group of Companies. The learned counsel submitted that the rebate claims preferred by Daffodil Exports and Prime Exports were initially allowed in revision application but the department approached the honble High Court who in turn remanded the matter to the revisionary authority. The revisionary authority remanded the matter back to the adjudicating authority who held adversely against the aforesaid firms. The appeal against the said order has been rejected by the Commissioner (Appeals) and the revi ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... imply ignored the said order. It was also submitted that the Commissioner has given the findings in para 91 that the exporters were not required to follow any of the provisions of Central Excise law and the so-called 12B manufacturer were also not alleged for contravention of any of the provisions of Central Excise law or the rules made thereunder. It was also submitted that as per the decision of the honble Delhi High Court in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise vs. Balaji Trading Co. 2013 (290) ELT 200 the provisions of Rule 25 would be attracted only against the four category of persons mentioned therein and thus the said rule cannot be made applicable in the case of present appellant and hence since the goods cannot be confiscated penalty under Rule 26 cannot be imposed on the appellant. It was also submitted that Rule 26 was amended w.e.f. 01/03/2007 and the present dispute is for the period prior to that and therefore, Rule 26(2) is not applicable as held by various courts and hence no penalty can be imposed prior to 01/03/2007.

Apex Corporation. The said investigation are also already subject matter dispute in another show cause notice F. No. V-Adj(52,54,63)/CSCN/M-I/15-16/2008 dated 09/07/2008. The said show cause notice was adjudicated and penalty on the present appellant was imposed under Rule 26. It was submitted that a person cannot be penalized twice for the same offence. It was submitted that the appellant is a customer of Apex Corporation and no role can be attributed to the present appellant as he is neither a supplier of goods/invoices to M/s. Apex Corporation on which M/s. Apex Corporation would have availed credit nor it is a merchant exporter. It was submitted that the allegation that that they have received the amount in cash is untrue as their employee Mr. Ashish in his statement dated 25/04/2007 has categorically denied the same.

In respect of appellant No. 3, it was submitted that, Vikram Industries and Deepika Overseas are merchant exporters and they obtained ARE-Is from the Muni Group of companies without getting any goods, purchased locally non duty paid goods. Export rebate was claimed against the ARE-Is of Muni Group. It was submitted that the details from the banks and enquires with agents doing cheque discounting confirmed that whatever payment was made to Muni Group of companies, same was received back by these two companies in cash. Statement of transporters proves that goods did not move from Muni Group of Companies but somewhere else. 6.4. In respect of appellant No. 4, it was submitted that they have claimed inadmissible CENVAT Credit on the invoices of Muni Group without receiving any goods. Para XXVIII on page 52 and para 10 on page 130, para viii on page 174 of the impugned order were referred to explain the issues. 6.5.

It was further submitted that the appellant was also found to be proprietor of M/s K.V. Corporation and was getting the cheques discounted and collecting the cash back. His role as discussed in Para V and para (a) on page 56, para VII (a), (b) on page 57 and 58, para 5 on pg. 92, para 8 on pg 128 of the impugned order, was explained in detail. 6.11. As far as appellant No.11 is concerned, appellant is a merchant exporter and has claimed rebate against the ARE-Is of Muni Group without actually receiving any goods. The Commissioner has given findings in para V on page 173 of the impugned order. Para 63 on page 65, 66 and para 9 on page 129 of the impugned order details his role. 6.12. In respect of appellant No. 12, it was submitted that, again the appellant is a merchant exporter, obtained ARE1 from Muni group and claimed rebate.

It was the contention of the learned counsels that Commissioner has not indicated as to how and under which provisions of law the goods allegedly procured from the market and exported are liable to confiscation. 8.1. We have given considerable thought to the submission. We reproduce Rule 25 and 26 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 as under: "RULE 25. Confiscation and penalty. (1) Subject to the provisions of section 11AC of the Act, if any producer, manufacturer, registered person of a warehouse or a registered dealer, - (a) removes any excisable goods in contravention of any of the provisions of these rules or the notifications issued under these rules; or (b) does not account for any excisable goods produced or manufactured or stored by him; or (c) engages in the manufacture, production or storage of any excisable goods without having applied for the registration certificate required under section 6 of the Act; or (d) c .....

However, immediately, thereafter, Muni Group of Companies have issued cheques in the name of some other entities. These cheques were, in turn got discounted by the merchant exporter/appellants. In some cases, the amounts were paid by crossed bearer cheques to Muni Group of Companies. However, these cheques were, in reality, not deposited in the accounts of Muni Group of Companies, but were deposited either in the name of certain dealers or got discounted from various bill discounters/shroffs. In nutshell, the money which was purported to have been paid to Muni Group of Companies for purchase of material was not paid to them but either was taken back by the appellants-merchant exporters, or in some cases, some amount was paid to certain dealers in fabric. (Perhaps, some fabrics might have been purchased from them.) Thus, it is evident that the invoices of Muni Group of Companies and the goods purported to be covered by such invoices were dealt by the merchant exporter-appellants. There can be no doubt, that these goods are liable to c .....

The learned counsel for the appellant has also submitted certain judgments wherein honble Supreme Court and other courts have held that the goods purchased from the market are deemed to be duty-paid. We have gone through the said judgments. We find the facts in the present case are very different. In fact, if the goods were duty paid, there was no reason for the appellants to approach Muni Group of Companies and procure the fraudulent invoices. In that situation, the appellants could have got the invoices from the seller of the goods and could have claimed the rebate. The very fact that this fraudulent exercise has been done indicates that the goods which were exported and procured from the market were non-duty paid goods. In case of some appellants, the goods were produced in their own unit and if in their own unit they would have paid duty, there was no reason for them to procure the invoices from Muni Group of Companies. 8.7. Various counsels have submitted that Rule 26 was amended w.e.f. 01/03/2007 wherein dealers were also become liable to penalty and thus, prior t .....

From the investigation statements made by Shri Babul Jain, partner of Rainbow Silks and other details as discussed in the impugned order, it appears that the appellant is an established exporter of textiles for the last so many years and they procured certain textile material i.e., printed polyester fabric through one broker, Shri Ajay Mittal who supplied them the said goods vide Central Excise invoice No. 73, dated 20/04/2014, invoice No. 99 dated 25/04/2004 and 108 dated 15/05/2004 and the corresponding ARE-1s. These ARE-1s are of M/s. Globe Traders, Bhiwandi, a Muni Group of Company. From the investigation, it is clear that the appellant has paid the amount through account payee cheques deposited in the accounts of Globe Traders. It is also clear that, thereafter, the cheques were issued by Globe Traders in the name of local parties of Surat. From the investigation it comes out that the appellant had no connection with Shri K. K. Gupta, Shri Dashrath More, Shri Deepak Jare, and also Shri M.K. Patel, Superintendent and he was dealing with Shri Ajay Mittal from whom they have bought the goods in good faith. It also appears that fo .....

Faced with such details, no proper explanation was given by the present appellant. From large number of documents it is very clear that the appellant exported the goods manufactured from the unit located in Adarsh Chemical Factory but he showed invoices and ARE1s of Muni Group of Companies to claim the rebate. 10.1. Learned counsel for the appellants main submission is that the appellant has not received the show cause notice which was issued to the appellant at his residential address and hence the order-in-original was passed in gross violation of natural justice. It was also submitted that in his statement, the appellant has stated that he was not concerned with Monica Impex in any way and hence no penalty is imposable on him. 10.2. We are not impressed by any of these arguments. We find from the impugned order that the show cause notice was serviced on all the appellants. It is not the appellants case that the show cause notice was not served on the old address. It was his responsibility to ensure that such documents which are sent at his old residential address are re-directed to the new address .....

The details of investigation are indicated in para 50, 53, 53.1 to 53.14, which relates to financial flow/flow back and 54.4 relating to transport as also (xv) which indicates the conduct of the appellant during investigation and (xvi), (xvii) which are again relating to financial transaction. From the investigation it is clear that no goods were transported from the Bhiwandi godown to Surat by Muni Group of Companies and the concerned transporter was found to be fake and non-existent. Money transaction between the appellant and Muni Group of Companies clearly brings out that the appellant has issued two types of cheques viz. account payee and the other 'crossed bearer'. In respect of account payee cheques, the cheques were deposited in the account of Muni Group of Companies. However, on the same date other cheques were issued from such banks/accounts in the name of certain textile firms which in turn were encashed or got discounte .....

These facts have not been denied by the appellant before this Tribunal. Learned counsel for the appellant have also not made any submission about the findings of the Commissioner or about anything stated in the order-in-original. The only submission made by him is that the Commissioner has not indicated as to how and under which provisions of law the goods allegedly procured from the market and exported after processing are liable to confiscation. We have already discussed in para 8 to 8.6 how the goods in such cases will be liable to confiscation and penalty under Rule 26. We also note that the penalty imposed is not on the higher side keeping in view the CENVAT credit availed by the appellant. Under the circumstances, we dismiss the appeal filed by the appellant. 13. Appeal No. E/676/2010: Shri Prakash Poddar appellant is authorised signatory of Karishma Overseas & Sheetal Exports. The investigations have revealed that present appellant was following similar modus operandi as is in the case of Shri Yudhishtir Batra and also exported the goods as merchant exporter. In his st ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... Group of Industries. The grey fabrics were purchased from somewhere else and got processed and fraudulent CENVAT credit was utilised for payment of duty on processed fabric. In fact in the statement, Shri Rameshwar Bansal has admitted that he has received the invoices in his firms name but were endorsed to different mills from where he used to receive the processed fabrics and on such invoices he took credit of about Rs. 1 crore on the basis of such invoices. During investigation he could not give the details of mills from where the goods were processed. Investigation also revealed that the payments purported to have been made to Muni Group of Companies were followed by cheques issued from Muni Group of Companies which were discounted by his partner and cash received back as per the statements of the shroffs. During the confrontation he could not explain any of these details. We also note that during the arguments before this Tribunal the appellant has not disputed the fraudulent nature of the transactions carried out by them. The learned counsel has only disputed the applicability of Rule 26 in their case. We have already discussed the same in para 8 to 8.6 and in view of the sa .....

All the three firms were operating from the same premises and all the three firms were being looked after by the appellant Shri Ayush Murarilal Agarwal. It is seen from the investigation that all the three firms were working as merchant exporters and were also Rule 12B manufacturers. In the present case, during investigation, appellant was not even able to give name and address of the representative of Muni Group of Companies who approached the three firms. Similarly, he was not able to explain, in the absence of any packing list, etc. how he was able to repack and export the goods. Financial investigation also revealed the modus operandi similar to the case of Shri Yudhishtir Kumar Batra in para 11 above. A detailed investigation was taken up regarding the financial transactions and it was found a large number of cheques purported as payment made to Muni Group of Companies were actually not deposited into their account and large number of such cheques were discounted through shroffs Sh ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... appellant had the knowledge that the goods which have been exported are liable to confiscation. In view of this position, no penalty can be imposed. 16.3. Learned counsel submitted that vide order No. 01/M/2009/ST dated 03/02/2009 Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai I in an identical situation has dropped penalty under Rule 26 and the said case was submitted before the adjudicating authority and the adjudicating authority has given no comments on the said order. Further, the department has not challenged the said order and therefore, has achieved finality. 16.4. It was also submitted that Rule 25 is attracted only in four categories of persons mentioned therein i.e. producer, manufacturer, registered person of a warehouse or a registered dealer. Since the appellant is none of them, therefore, provisions of Rule 25 is not applicable and hence no penalty can be imposed under Rule 26. It was further submitted that if it is presumed that the person Muni Group has not supplied any goods to the merchant exporter, then also no penalty can be imposed under Rule 26 prior to 01/03/2007 as merchant exporter has only acted as a dealer. It was also submitted that the case laws submit ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... is neither binding on this Tribunal or other Court or other Commissioner. 16.9. Learned counsels argument that goods purchased from market are also duty paid goods, the order of the Honble Apex Court is in different facts and circumstances. In the present case, if these were duty paid rebate should be claimed based upon the duty paying documents and not based upon fraudulent documents. 16.10. We therefore do not find any merits in the appeal and is therefore dismissed. Penalty imposed is also not on the higher side. 17. Appeal No: E/733/2010: Shri Ajit Singh B Choraria is the Proprietor of Shubham Silk Mills, and also Authorised Signatory of Shubham Textiles, Shubhlaxmi Textiles and Shubhlaxmi Exports. The appellant is a Rule 12B manufacturer. In the case of the present appellant, he purported to have procured grey fabrics from certain sources, got it processed from certain processors and thereafter, the appellant has issued his invoices to Muni Group of Companies in respect of the processed fabrics. The case of the Revenue is that no processed fabrics was actually supplied to Muni Group of Companies by the appellant and only invoices purportedly showing payment of duty were .....

Further, it appears that, fictitious transport documents were also provided by Shri Ajay Mittal to some of the buyers. Further, in the financial transaction he seems to have major role inasmuch as the money was withdrawn and then handed over. Role Shri Ajay Mittal is discussed in para (v)(a) of page 56 of the impugned order as also in para (vii) (a), (b) of page 57 and 58. From the investigation it appears that he was maintaining accounts in number of banks such as UTI, IDBI, Metro, Century and Rajkot Banks. It also appears that Shri Ajay Mittal has also used Shri Shyam Sunder Sharma for his nefarious activities. From the investigation it is very clear that the appellant was concerned with the invoices of Muni Group covering purported sale of certain goods and therefore, the same are liable to confiscation under Rule 25(1)(d) and appellant is liable to penalty under Rule 26. Submission of the learned counsel for the appellant has been on ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... to Apex Corporation was in reality discounted at Surat and the name of discounting party was Shri Ashish, his employee and phone number was also of Doshi Impex. His employee Shri Ashish later on accepted that he got the cheque discounted as per the instruction of Shri Naresh Doshi. The investigation details in para 63.2 very clearly indicates the involvement of Doshi Impex even though in the statement Shri Naresh Doshi tried to deny. 19.2. Keeping in view the over all facts of the case, it is clear that the appellant knowingly involved in the fraudulent availment of CENVAT credit on the bogus documents of Muni Group of Companies without receiving any goods. The appellant is, therefore, liable to penalty under Rule 26. The penalty imposed on him is not on the higher side and is upheld. The appeal filed by Shri Naresh Doshi is dismissed. 20. Appeal No: E/797/2010: The appellant in this case is one Shri Farooq Razazk Gazi, proprietor of M/s Glory Exports. In his statement, the appellant has submitted that one Shri Tejas Desai had approached him on behalf of Muni Group of Companies and stated that he would arrange goods on 1% brokerage basis with door delivery and accordingly he had ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... led on page 41 of the impugned order wherein Shri Parmeshwar Pareek described the modus operandi and admitted that they have exported cheaper quality of goods under the cover of documents obtained from M/s. Venkatesh Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. to avail higher rate of rebate and DEPB. Further investigation were taken up through the banking channels, and reasons are detailed at para 58.1(ii) of page 40, para a, b, c, on page 41, para 11, 11(a) of page 72 of the impugned order, the details as to how the cheques were presented and who were the ultimate beneficiary and how the same were bought and encashed through the discounters are detailed. From these details it is very clear that no money had gone to M/s. Venkatesh Mercantile Pvt. Ltd. but were received back by Ayush Export. 21.2. Keeping in view the above facts, it is very clear that the appellant knowingly procured the cheap fabrics from somewhere else and invoices were only procured from Muni Group of Companies. The goods exported are purported to be covered by invoices of Muni Group of Companies which are liable to confiscation under Rule 25(1)(d) of the Central Excise Rules, 2002. Penalty is therefore imposable on the appellant and ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... tigation. Conduct of appellant during investigation speaks of itself. We do not find any genuine or proper explanation on various discrepancies found during the investigation. It also appears that the appellant was working in close coordination with Shri Ajay Mittal who was one of the main seller of the invoices of Muni Group of Companies in the above fraud. During investigation, the appellant was not able to explain anything about the transportation and storage of the goods and how such goods transportation has taken place between them. Investigation also indicated that the discounted amount was received back by the present appellant. From the investigation it is clear that the appellant was instrumental in fraud which lead to availment of CENVAT credit based on the invoices of Muni Group of Companies without purchase of any goods from Muni Group of Companies. The appellant is therefore liable to penalty under Rule 26. Keeping in view the level of fraud conducted by the present appellant the penalty imposed on him is not on the higher side. The appeal filed by the appellant is dismissed. 24. Appeal E/1621/2010: In this case, the appellant is one Shri Mahendra Agarwal who is the a ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
