As regard plea of revenue neutrality raised by the appellant, we find strong force in the contentions as there is no dispute that clearances were made by M/s STI to their own DTA Unit and the credit of SAD and CVD was available to the DTA Unit, hence the entire issue is revenue neutral. In such case it cannot be said that there has been intentional evasion of payment of duty by the appellant-assessee. It is found that the goods were cleared on invoices indicating all the particulars and we do not find any deliberate act on the part of the assessee to evade payme .....

The Audit party took an objection to non-payment of SAD on the ground that clearance made to their sister concern would fall under the category of exempted from payment of sales tax hence they are liable to pay SAD. It was also contended that M/s STI has made less payment of CVD and therefore liable to pay such non-paid SAD and less paid CVD.

It is also his submission that even the quantification of demand was not made correctly. 8. The Ld. Counsel also draws our attention to the fact that since the goods were cleared to their sister concern on invoices to whom the credit of such SAD and CVD is available, the whole issue is revenue neutral and therefore there cannot be any demand r .....

In our considered view, the ratio of the decision of this Bench in the case of Micro Inks (supra) squarely settles the law in so far as this point. We are of the view that the demand of SAD on goods cleared to its own DTA Unit does not survive, accordingly, we do not find any merit in appeal of the revenue. 11. As regard CVD we find from the annexure to the show cause notice that in show cause notice and the impugned order no allegation or reasoning of any nature in raising such a demand was indicated and the demand was confirmed merely by relying upon demand chart which is an annexure to the SCN. As we find no allegations for demand has been stated either in the show cause notice nor there are any reasoning i ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
