Recovery of cost recovery charges under Handling of Cargo in Customs Areas Regulations, 2009 is not sustainable due to lack of statutory mechanism and prescribed rates/manner by Government of India. The Commissioner lacks jurisdiction and authority to recover such charges in absence of specified rates and manner as mandated by Regulation 6(1)(o). Reliance placed on judgments holding that cost recovery charges cannot be demanded without specified rates and manner. Provision of cost recovery charges held ultra vires by Telangana High Court on ground of lack of power u/s 157 of Customs Act, 1962. Revenue's appeal dismissed as recovery itself is without jurisdiction. Commissioner rightly did not confirm charges related to House Rent Allowance and Transport Allowance as assessee provided accommodation and transport facility. Assessee's appeal allowed.
