The ld Counsel for the appellant submitted, inter alia, that the provisions of Rule 10A of the Valuation Rules are not applicable in the instant case as the finished goods were neither sold by them in the market as directed by HSCIL, (Principal manufacture) nor cleared to any depot of HSCIL whereas the said goods cleared by the appellant was used for further processing by HSCIL. It was also submitted that the provisions of Rule 8 of the Valuation Rules were not applicable as the said goods were sold by the appellant and nothing was captively consumed for manufacture of any other final product, hence duty paid as per Section 4 of the E .....

In this case, we find that the intermediate products are not consumed by the appellant, neither are they used on their behalf in the production of other articles. In fact, they are job workers of intermediate goods and the final product is manufactured by M/s Procter Gamble. We find in such situation Rule 8 cannot be made applicable. 4.

The general principle which has been followed for determining the value in such cases is that the value, at which the principal manufacturer sells the goods, after it is received from the job worker, is considered as the assessable value. Following the said general principle, it is felt that where the goods manufactured by a job worker are used for captive consumption by the principal manufacturer, in such cases their value would be determined in terms of clause (iii) of Rule 10A read mutatis mutandis with Rule 8 of the Valuation Rules which provides for taking of 110% of the cost of production of the goods. .....

A perusal of the above Rule makes it clear that it relates to valuation of excisable goods not sold by the assessee but are used for consumption or on his behalf in the production or manufacture of other articles . This is clearly not the case here. The goods are not being captively consumed by the assessee himself or on his behalf by somebody else. There could be no argument that this rule has any relevane to the present case. Learned counsel for the appellants has also pointed out that the valuation carried out under the im .....

Under the new valuation provisions, introduced with effect from 1-7-2000, there is no departure from the principles laid down by the Apex Court in the above two decisions, in respect of goods manufactured on job work basis. In other words goods manufactured on job work basis after 1-7-2000 will continue to be valued in the same manner as they were being valued before 1-7-2000. In other words, after 1-7-2000, in respect of goods manufactured on job work basis, valuation would be governed by Rule 11 of the new Valuation Rules of 2000 read with Rule 6 read with the above two decisions of the Apex Court. 3.
