In the show cause notice dated 23 April 2012, it is alleged that pursuant to audit it was found that the appellant availed credit of Rs. 28,15,915/- on MS bars and Saria on the strength of invoices issued by the manufacturers. Such MS bars were supplied by the manufacturers to the address of appellant at Transport Nagar, Jaipur, which is not declared as a storage place by the appellant assessee.
