..... volving duty pending . The petitioner computed the concession under the Scheme by taking the amount of Rs. 4,86,628/-, which was determined in order in original dated 27.08.2015, as the amount payable. After reckoning 70% as the relief thereon, the petitioner had offered to pay a sum of Rs. 95,988.40/-. In response thereto, by the impugned order, the respondent adopted the sum of Rs. 28,26,192/- mentioned in the show cause notice dated 19.11.2008 as the amount due and worked out the 70% deduction thereon.

The above clause indicates clearly that the applicant under the Scheme would be entitled to waiver of 70% of the tax dues if the tax dues relate to a show cause notice or an appeal and the amount of duty is Rs. 50,00,000/- or less. In this case, the amount is undoubtedly below Rs. 50,00,000/-.
