Novel Cut & Polish Diamond Traders Absolved: Customs Tribunal Rejects Fraud Claims, Upholds Valid Import Licenses.

December 30, 2024

Case Laws     Customs     AT

The CESTAT upheld the respondents' case, ruling that the allegations of fraudulently obtaining Duty Free Credit Entitlement (DFCE) licenses and engaging in circular trading of cut and polished diamonds were unfounded. The Tribunal affirmed that the DFCE licenses used for imports were valid, as the DGFT had not cancelled or modified them. Consequently, the demands for duty, confiscation of goods, and penalties were dismissed, and the Revenue's appeal was rejected.
