..... ect to the conditions/provisions prescribed therein . DTA sale is different from De-bonding and DTA sale is available to an EOU which is operating under the said scheme and not for the unit under de bonding ( You may also refer Shiv Industries case in this regard) Further, there is a concept that why to pay duties on FG and WIP at all since after de-bonding , the unit become DTA and whenever the said goods cleared from DTA being liable for duties. ( This view was upheld in Solitaire machine Tools case) However, unless the FTP provisions are not amended, the chances of upholding your view are remote one need to wait for such amendment or one need to represent the DGFT to amend the said para 6.18 and the appendix considering the various .....

..... le any other place in india( Amend after SC decesion in SIV IND)​ the EOU unit do not sale it's finished goods any other place in india. My question it that if gov. not consider it as sale deny the noti 23/2003 ce , then why EOU pay duty on finished goods? As per central excise rule duty liability on finished goods at the time of clearance form factory gate. So I want to ask why EOU apy the duty on finished goods instead of reverce the benefits for manufacturing of finished goods. It mean pay the duty on RM-PM procure without payment of duty take the cenvat credit on it. If EOU pay the duty on finished goods and convert in normal DTA unit,then after the duty liability arrival on clearance of same finished goods.I .....

After receive final exit letter form development commissoner the unit becom normal DTA unit. - Reply By Kishan Barai - The Reply = Respected Hasmukh Patel Jee, According to me you need to pay custom duty on finished goods lying in stock before EXIT from EOU.

..... under protest since the Jurisdictional AC refused to give no objection and duty payment certificate. We have filed the appeals in both the cases and in one case ( amount involved 60 Lakhs) the CESTAT allowed our appeal considering the Solitaire machine tools case. However, the second appeals involving 9+ crores is still pending before CESTAT and if this also decided then one can get some confidence about our argument but it is a time taking process. As stated a representation in the mean time to DGFT/Ministry of commerce requesting for amendment of para 6.18 may yield some result..

..... to pay applicable duties on all the items including FG lying in stock as on the specified date. Whereas, the appellant in that case contended that why cant he pay the concessional rate of duty in terms of Notification No. 23/2003-CE instead of full duties in terms of p ara 6.18 of FTP The Hon'ble Tribunal held that DTA clearance under concessional rate of duty ( NF 23/2003-CE ) is available only to an operational EOU and not for the De bonding/de bonded unit.
