Schedul Xiii of the Companies Act 1956 Being Amended- Unlisted Companies Shall not Require Government Approval for Managerial Remuneration Where they have no Profits

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued today a notification on Managerial Remuneration in unlisted companies having no profits/inadequate profits. The notification reads as under:

Managerial Remuneration in unlisted companies having no profits/ inadequate profits

Companies are divided into private limited and public limited companies. Public limited companies are of two types – listed companies (whose shares are listed on a stock exchange) and unlisted companies. Normally, the general public does not hold shares in unlisted companies. Private limited companies are not subject to any limits on managerial remuneration. Public limited companies (listed and unlisted) with no profits/ inadequate profits are currently required to approach the Ministry for approval in those cases where the remuneration of Directors/ equivalent managerial personnel exceeds certain limits.

2. The matter has been re-examined in the light of the evolving economic and regulatory environment. The primary purpose of regulations over managerial remuneration is to protect stakeholders, particularly shareholders and creditors. Unlisted companies are in several respects similar to private limited companies. A substantial number of the applications coming to the Ministry fall under this category and the Ministry’s limited manpower is disproportionately involved in this exercise. In the case of unlisted companies so long as the conditions specified in Schedule XIII, including special resolution of shareholders and absence of default on payment to creditors, are fulfilled approval will not be needed hereafter.

3. Accordingly, Schedule XIII of the Companies Act 1956 is being amended to provide that unlisted companies (which are not subsidiaries of listed companies) shall not require Government approval for managerial remuneration in cases where they have no profits/ inadequate profits, provided they meet the other conditions stipulated in the Schedule.

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO .35/2010-CUS
Dated: September 17, 2010
Subject: All Industry Rates of Duty Drawback, 2010-11 - Reg.
The Ministry has announced the revised All Industry Rates (AIR) of Duty Drawback vide Notification No. 84/2010-Cus. (N.T.), dated 17/09/2010. The rates of drawback have been made effective from 20.9.2010. The Notification may please be downloaded from CBEC website www.cbec.gov.in and perused for details.
2. Like in previous years, the drawback rates have been determined on the basis of certain broad parameters including, inter alia , the prevailing prices of inputs, Standard Input Output Norms (SION), share of imports in the total consumption of inputs and the applied rates of duty. The incidence of duty on HSD/Furnace Oil has been factored in the drawback calculations. The incidence of service tax paid on taxable services which are used as input services in the manufacturing or processing of export goods has also been factored. The Commissioners may ensure that the exporters do not avail of the refund of this tax through any other mechanism while claiming the All Industry Rates of duty drawback.
3. The Drawback Schedule includes some new entries such as Denim Fabric and cotton garments containing 1% or more by weight of Spandex / Lycra / Elastane, garments of blend containing wool & Man Made Fibre(MMF), woven carpets and floor coverings of jute, knotted carpets and floor coverings of MMF, brass parts of ball or roller bearings and silk embroidery. The Schedule may please be perused for details.
4. The drawback rates have undergone changes in line with the changes in the prices of inputs, duties etc. Thus the drawback rates have been changed in most cases. The more important changes are discussed below:-
(i) Leather and Leather Articles (Chapters 41, 42 & 64)
The Drawback rates for all the goods falling in the Chapters 41, 42 and 64 have been decreased by 5% - 15% approximately. The caps have also been revised downwards. It may be noted that value cap for headings 420501 and 420502 has been changed from Rs. 585 per piece to Rs. 15 per sq. ft. This change was necessitated because of representations received from the field formations and the trade in respect of Leather Sofa cover being exported in SKD/CKD condition which was being denied drawback rate as ‘per piece'.
(ii) Textiles and Textile Articles (Chapters 50-63)
(a) Silk: The drawback rate for silk fabric has been increased from 9.8% with a drawback cap of Rs. 295 to 11% with a drawback cap of Rs. 330/kg. The rate for fabric of noil silk has also been revised upwards.
(b) Wool: In the case of wool tops, woollen yarn and fabrics the drawback rates have been decreased by 5% - 20% approximately. The caps have also been revised downwards.
(c) Cotton Yarn and Fabrics: The drawback rates for grey cotton yarn and dyed cotton yarn continue to be Nil for the present. As for cotton fabrics, the new rate is 3.7% (grey)/4.2% (dyed) with a drawback cap of Rs. 12 per kg (grey)/Rs. 14 per kg (dyed). In case of denim fabrics the new rate is 4.3% with a cap of Rs. 16.2/kg. The new entry for Denim Fabric with 1% or more by weight of Spandex / Lycra / Elastane has been created with a drawback rate of 4.6% and value cap of Rs. 17.4 per Kg.
(d) Man-made Filaments and Man-made Staple Fibres: The Drawback rates for most of the goods falling in the Chapters 54 and 55 have been marginally reduced.
(e) Carpets and Floor Coverings: The Drawback rates for most of the goods except for silk carpets, falling in the Chapter 57 have been decreased by 10% approximately. For silk carpets, there is no change. New entries have been created for carpets and floor coverings of Jute and Coir under heading 5702 with drawback rates of 3.5%.
A new entry for carpets and floor coverings of cotton has been created under heading 5702 to cover cotton woven durries/rugs etc. Earlier these goods were being classified under the heading 570501. Representations were received that these goods were correctly classifiable under the heading 5702. Accordingly, the change has been made in this Drawback Schedule. As regards the past consignments, no demands may be raised as the intention was always to allow these goods the rate specified under heading 570501.
There has been a dispute about the heading 570301 as to whether the existing description “hand tufted carpets” covers hand- held gun tufted carpets or not. In order to resolve this dispute, the word “hand” has been deleted from this heading and the description now reads only “tufted woollen floor coverings, all sorts”.
(f) Ready Made Garments & Made Ups: In the readymade garment sector, except for silk garments, drawback rates have been decreased by 10% - 15% approximately. The caps have also been revised downwards. The new drawback rate for cotton garment is 7.5% as against the earlier rate of 8.8%. For garments of blend containing cotton and (MMF), the new drawback rate is 8.6% as against the earlier rate of 9.8%; for garments of MMF the new drawback rate is 9.5% as against the earlier rate of 10.5%; for readymade garments made of silk and of wool, the rates are 10% and 7.5% respectively. The new entries for garments of blend containing wool and MMF and for those made of cotton with 1% or more by weight of Spandex/Lycra/Elastane have been created with drawback rates of 8.6% and 8% respectively.
In the made up category, the revised drawback rate for cotton made-ups is 7.1% with a cap of Rs. 60 per kg. The drawback rates and caps for made-ups of MMF and of blend containing cotton and MMF have also been reduced.
(iii) Base Metals and Articles of Base Metals (Chapters 72-83)
The duty drawback rate for stainless steel utensils falling under Chapter 73 and stainless steel cutlery falling under Chapter 82 has been reduced from 12.5% to 8.8%. For other articles of iron and steel where there is a composite rate, the same has been reduced by 25% to 30%. The drawback rate for handicrafts, hardware and other items of brass has been decreased from 15% to 11%. The drawback rates for hand tools have been decreased by 30% approximately. The caps have also been revised downwards.
In order to resolve the dispute whether the description handicrafts/art ware of galvanized iron with brass includes products which are coated/plated , the entry ‘732603' has been amended to read as “Handicrafts/ Art ware of Iron with or without plating / coating, galvanized or otherwise, with Brass”.
(iv) Machinery and Equipment (Chapters 84 and 85)
The new entry for brass parts of Ball or roller bearing has been created with a drawback rate of 3% under heading 848202.
(v) Bicycle & Bicycle Parts (Chapter 87), Sports Goods (Chapter 95) and Writing Instruments (Chapter 96)
The drawback rates for bicycles and bicycle parts have been revised downwards. The new rate for complete bicycle is 9%. Further, a value cap of Rs. 10/- per Kg. has been introduced for the residuary entry ‘Others' (871423). The drawback rates for Sports Goods and Writing Instruments have also been revised downwards by about 10% and 20% respectively.
(vi) Miscellaneous
(a) In the earlier schedule, wooden artware and handicrafts were covered under the heading 4420. On representations from the exporters that a number of wooden handicraft items are not covered under the said heading, it has been decided to have a uniform rate of 2.5% for wooden items of headings 4414, 4419 and 4420. A specific entry has also been created for wooden handicraft and artware under the residuary head 4421 with a drawback rate of 2.5%.
(b) The description under heading 22071090 has been changed to read as “Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol, Rectified Spirit / ENA or otherwise containing more than 94.5% Ethyl Alcohol”.
(c) References have been received seeking clarifications as to what should be the minimum percentage of MMF in a garment or made-up for it to be considered as a blended garment /made-up. The issue has been examined and the term ‘blend' has been explained in the Notification. It may be noted that the term ‘blend' in chapters 61, 62 & 63 refers to only two types of blends i.e. cotton & MMF and wool & MMF. It shall mean that MMF shall be more than 15% but less than 85% by weight in such garment or made-up. Further, the garment or made-up shall be classified as of cotton or wool or MMF or silk or noil silk if the percentage of the concerned fibre is 85% or more by weight in such garment or made-up.
(d) The earlier notification (No. 103/2008 Cus. (N.T.) dated 29.08.08 as amended) provided that the rates of drawback in the Drawback Schedule would not be applicable to products manufactured or exported by availing the rebate of Central Excise duty paid on materials used in the manufacture of export goods in terms of Rule 18 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002, or if such raw materials were procured without payment of Central Excise duty under Rule 19 (2) of the Central Excise Rules, 2002. References have been received that exporters are being denied 1% of drawback, which is the customs component of the AIR drawback, on the basis of the above condition although the manufacturers had taken only the rebate of Central Excise duties in respect of their inputs / procured the inputs without payment of central excise duties; and the Customs duties which remained unrebated should be provided through the AIR drawback route.
The issue has been examined. The present notification No. 84/2010-Cus. (N.T.) dated 17.09.2010 provides that customs component of AIR drawback shall be available even if the rebate of Central Excise duty paid on raw material used in the manufacture of export goods has been taken in terms of Rule 18 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002, or if such raw materials were procured without payment of Central Excise duty under Rule 19 (2) of the Central Excise Rules, 2002.
(e) The earlier notification provided that the gold and silver jewellery exports under the Drawback scheme would be examined by the Customs Appraiser/ Superintendent (Jewellery Expert). Problems have been reported since the jewellery experts are not available at all ports. Accordingly, the notification has been modified. Now such exports may also be examined by other Appraisers/Superintendents who have not been recruited as jewellery experts. It is however advised that officers may be posted to these positions after adequate training. Efforts should also be made to provide electronic Carat Meters to them.
(f) The earlier notification provided that the rates of drawback in the Drawback Schedule shall not be applicable to products manufactured or exported by availing the facility under the DEPB (Duty Exemption Pass Book) scheme. References were received seeking clarification whether an exporter who manufactured the export goods with raw material imported against DEPB scrips, shall be eligible for drawback on such exports even if DEPB benefits is not claimed. The doubt appeared to have arisen because the above mentioned notification debarred benefit of AIR drawback if the export goods had been ‘manufactured' availing the benefit of the DEPB scheme.
In order to resolve the matter, the word ‘manufactured' has been deleted in the present notification and the condition has been modified to read that the drawback will not be available if the goods are ‘exported' availing the benefits of the DEPB scheme.
6. The Notification and the new Drawback Schedule may be perused carefully to note the changes made therein. Though all care has been taken, the possibility of inadvertent errors/omissions cannot be ruled out. It is requested that any error/omission noticed during the implementation of the rates be brought to the notice of the Board immediately for suitable corrective action.
7. The Public Notice and Standing Order for guidance of the trade and staff may be issued. Difficulties faced, if any in implementation of the changes may be brought to the notice of the Board at once.
Kindly acknowledge receipt of this Circular.

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO.15/2010-Cus
Dated: June 29, 2010
Subject: Fraudulent claim of 4% SAD by unscrupulous importers - reg.


Attention is invited to Notification No. 102/2007-Cus dated 14.09.2007 which provides exemption in the form of refund of 4% SAD paid on goods imported and subsequently sold on payment of VAT/ST.

  2. Instances have come to notice of the Board where some importers of ‘timber logs' have undertaken certain processes and subsequently sold ‘sawn' or ‘cut logs' after payment of VAT. These importers are claiming the refund of 4% SAD paid at the time of importation of goods in terms of Notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.09.2007. As per the said Notification , refund of SAD is available only in case the imported goods are subsequently sold on payment of VAT, without carrying out any process. However, at the time of claiming refund of 4% SAD, these importers have manipulated the facts by showing that goods sold were imported timber logs only and not ‘sawn' or ‘cut logs'. In terms of the classification of the First Schedule to Customs Tariff Act, 1975, round logs/round squares are classified under the heading 4403 whereas the ‘sawn' woods are classified separately under heading 4407. Thus, there is distinct classification for the imported and the final products that are sold in the market on which VAT is paid. Hence, since the goods imported and subsequently sold were different goods falling under different tariff headings, the benefit of Notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.09.2007 by way of refund of 4% SAD is not available to importers.
3. In certain other cases, refund claims have been filed with the department wherein forged documents were submitted for availing the refund envisaged in the notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.09.2007. In such cases, it is reported that the importers were preparing duplicate set of invoices of the same serial number. Scrutiny of these two sets of invoices establishes that the invoice submitted to the department shows description of goods as ‘Malaysian round logs' whereas the invoices obtained from the buyer shows the description of goods as ‘imported timber'. The other difference is that in the invoice submitted to the department the quantity of goods in number / pieces are not mentioned whereas in the invoices of the buyer the quantity in number/pieces is clearly mentioned. This fact of preparing duplicate invoices is further substantiated by the other documents such as related transit passes and lorry receipt. These importers are thus defrauding the government revenue by resorting to this modus operandi of submitting the forged documents for claiming refund fraudulently.
4. It is apprehended that above mentioned modus-operandi may have all India ramifications and may be prevalent in other field formations and are not limited only to a few cases.  In view of the above, all field formations are directed to be alert and vigilant to ensure that unscrupulous importers do not avail fraudulent refunds of 4% SAD in terms of Notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.9.2007 by resorting to the above-mentioned modus operandi.

Dated: June 29, 2010

Subject: Examination under Regulation 8 of the ‘Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations (CHALR), 2004' – Clarification – regarding.


Attention is invited to regulation (6) (a) of ‘Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations (CHALR), 2004' which specifies certain professional qualification such as MBA from any institute or University recognised by the Government to be possessed by an applicant or his employee referred to in clause (b) of the sub regulations (2) and (3) of regulation 5 of CHALR, 2004 to appear in examination under regulation 8 of the said Regulations. However, in this regard, it was clarified vide Board's Circular No.42/2004-Customs dated 10.6.2004 that, no degree holders equivalent to MBA are entitled to appear in the said examination. However, references have been received in the Board from field formation pointing out that some well known institutes like Indian Institute of Management are not awarding MBA degree rather such institutes are awarding PGDM which is equivalent to MBA. It is represented that these PGDM holders should be allowed to appear in regulation 8 examinations under CHALR, 2004.
2. The issue has been examined in the Board. It has been decided by the Board that MBA degree or the equivalent degree PGDM, granted by an institute or university recognised by Government / AICTE under Ministry of Human Resource Development shall be acceptable qualification for degree holders to appear in the examination under CHALR, 2004.
3. The Board Circular No.42/2004-Customs dated 10.6.2004 stands modified to above extent.
4. These instructions may be brought to the notice of the field officers by issuing suitable Standing orders/instructions.  Difficulties faced, if any, in the implementation of the Circular may please be brought to the notice of the Board, at an early date.

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO.18/2010-Cus
Dated: July 8, 2010

Subject: Refund of 4% Additional Duty of Customs (4% CVD) in pursuance of Notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.9.2007 – Special Drive for clearance of pending 4% SAD refund claims - reg.


Your kind attention is invited to the Notification No.102/2007-Customs dated 14.9.2007 and Board's C irculars No.6/2008-Customs dated 28.4.2008 and No.16/2008-Customs dated 13.10.2008 regarding refund of 4% Additional Duty of Customs (4% CVD). Attention is also invited to the Board's Circulars No.24/2007-Customs dated 2.7.2007, No.22/2008-Customs dated 19.12.2008 and No.7/2008-Customs dated 28.5.2008 which relate to general refund cases.
2. In this regard, several representations from the trade and industry, associations continue to be received in the Board complaining about the delay in refund of 4% CVD or denial of the refund on one pretext or the other, causing them great hardship.
3. In view of the fact that all the doubts of the field formations had been clarified by the Board vide above mentioned Circulars, it is viewed that there may not be any difficulty in timely disposal of refund claims. However, on review of the pending refund claims as on 31.3.2010 at major Custom Houses, it has been noticed that more than 80% of pending claims relate to 4% CVD cases. Hence, the Board has decided to further simplify the procedure for claiming 4% CVD refund in the following manner.
4.1. In respect of Accredited Clients registered with Customs in terms of Circular No.42/2005-Customs dated 24.11.2005 (ACP clients), the amount of 4% CVD refund shall be sanctioned in full, on preliminary scrutiny of the following documents: (a) TR-6 Challans (in original) for CVD payment; (b) VAT/ST payment Challans (in original); (c) summary of sale invoices; and (d) certificate of statutory Auditor / Chartered Accountant, for correlating the payment of ST/VAT on the imported goods with the invoices of sale and also to the effect that the burden of 4% CVD has not been passed on by the importer to the buyer. The procedure for pre-audit for ACP clients shall be done away with and detailed scrutiny should be done only at the stage of post-audit. The refund claims shall be sanctioned within the maximum time period of 30 days in all such cases.
4.2. Submission of sale invoices shall be required only in electronic form (CD or other media) in respect of 4% CVD refund cases and submission of paper documents is accordingly dispensed with.
5. In order to enable timely payment of refund in case of 4% CVD, a system of optional facility of directly crediting the applicant's bank account, through RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) or NEFT (National Electronics Funds Transfer) System is being prescribed. This facility is already functioning in Mumbai Customs Zone-II and has been found useful for the trade. Hence, Board has decided to extend this facility on optional basis to all other Customs formations also. Necessary authorisation for payment of refund amount directly to Bank Account may be taken in such cases from the importer/ authorised signatory of the importer in the form annexed. (Annexure-I)
6. Some field formations have also raised certain doubts whether the audited Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account have to be examined in respect of the current financial year for scrutiny of unjust enrichment aspect. It is stated that a large number of refund claims relating to the current year were held up for want of such verification. In this regard, the issue has been examined by the Board and it has been decided that the field formations shall accept a certificate from Chartered Accountant for the purpose of satisfying the condition that the burden of 4% CVD has not been passed on by the importer to any other person. Further, the importer shall also make a self-declaration along with the refund claim to the effect that he has not passed on the incidence of 4% CVD to any other person. Hence, there is no need for insisting on production of audited Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account in these cases. It may also be noted that recently the Board has also notified the list of documents required to be filed by the applicant along with the refund claim (Annexure-II) which is also displayed in the departmental website. Hence, other than these aforesaid documents, no other document would be required in the normal course of granting 4% CVD refund.
7. Board also desires that the Commissioner of Customs shall personally monitor all cases of 4% CVD refund claims pending for more than 30 days so as to ensure that these are disposed of within the overall time limit of three months.
8. A suitable Public Notice and Standing Order may be issued for the guidance of the trade and staff.  Difficulties faced, if any, in implementation of this Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board at an early date.

Subject: Display at Airports - LCS about prohibition of import - export of Indian currency notes of denomination of above Rs.100 in India and in Nepal – regarding
As you may be aware, the export and import of currency notes of Government of India and Reserve Bank of India notes (other than notes of denominations of above Rs.100 in either case) is not allowed to and from Nepal and Bhutan in terms of Notification No. FEMA 6 / RB-2000 dated 3.5.2000 issued under Foreign Exchange Management (Export and Import of Currency) Regulations, 2000 by the Reserve Bank of India. Similarly, the Indian currency notes in the denomination of Rs.1000 and Rs.500 are not permissible for exchange for banking transaction in Nepal in terms of guidelines issued by Ministry of Finance, Government of Nepal and Nepal Rashtra Bank. In fact, the current legal provisions in Nepal provide that notes of these denominations are liable for seizure and the persons carrying them are to be fined or imprisoned for upto three years.
2. Instances have come to the notice of the Board that many Indian nationals travelling to Nepal by Air or by land routes and carrying Indian currency notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denomination primarily due to ignorance of the law, are not only violating the RBI regulations issued in this regard but also get entangled in legal proceedings for possession of these notes in Nepal, like criminal prosecution along with confiscation of such currency notes.
3. The matter has been examined in the Board. In order to check such illegal import / export of currency notes of denomination of above Rs.100 and to prevent harassment and avoidable legal issues, it is felt necessary to educate / sensitize the people travelling between Nepal and India through Air or land routes regarding aforementioned legal provisions. Accordingly, since the import and export of Indian currency notes of denomination of above Rs.100/- (in either case) is prohibited as per Indian law and the use of Indian currency notes of denomination of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 is also prohibited in Nepal, Board hereby desires that at prominent places at the Airports and Land Customs Stations in India from where the passengers depart, to put up a display / notice board mentioning that “Import / export of Indian currency notes of the denomination of above Rs.100 from / to Nepal is prohibited and would attract penal provisions. The use of such currency notes of the denomination of Rs.1000 and Rs.500 is also prohibited in Nepal. Therefore, these notes are liable to be seized and the persons carrying them are liable to be fined or imprisoned for upto three years in Nepal.”
4. The concerned airlines can also be requested to sensitize the passengers at the time of departure by displaying such advisory at their Check-in Counters.

Renting Immovable Property - Are We headed for more confusion
Delhi High Court decision on Renting of Immovable Property_ More Developments

The Delhi High Court in a Writ Petition filed by Home Solutions Retail Ltd has granted a stay from recovery of Service tax under the recently amended entry of Renting of Immovable Property service, where an amendment was made vide the Finance Act 2010 with retrospective effect from June 1, 2007.

Background

The Finance Act, 2007 had introduced Renting of Immovable Property service with effect from June 1, 2007. The taxable service was defined under Section
65(105)(zzzz) as:

(zzzz) to any person, by any other person in relation to renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce

Upon introduction of the above service, Writ Petitions were filed in various High Courts challenging the levy on the following main grounds:
(i) Merely allowing use of land/ building does not amount to provision of a service.
(ii) Service tax is on a service provided along with the renting of immovable property and not on renting per se.
(iii) Levy of Service tax on Renting of Immovable Property amounts to levy of tax on land / buildings, which fall within the State List and is not within the purview of the Central Government.
Post the above Writ Petitions, the Supreme Court transferred all the Writs to the Delhi High Court for appropriate disposal. The Delhi High Court in Home Solutions Retail India Ltd. & Ors. v. Union of India [2009 (237) ELT 209 (Del.)], held as under:

35Consequently, the renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business of commerce by itself does not entail any value addition and, therefore, cannot be regarded as a service. Of course, if there is some other service, such as air conditioning service provided alongwith the renting of immovable property, then it would fall within Section 65(105)(zzzz).

36. In view of the foregoing discussion, we hold that Section 65(105)(zzzz) does not in terms entail that the renting out of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business of (sic) commerce would by itself constitute a taxable service and be exigible to service tax under the said Act. The obvious consequence of this finding is that the interpretation placed by the impugned notification1 and circular2 on the said provision is not correct. Consequently, the same are ultra vires the said Act and to the extent they authorise the levy of service tax on renting of immovable property per se, they are set aside.

Post the above decision, Revenue went to appeal before the Supreme Court, where the honble Supreme Court did not grant stay to the Delhi High Courts order.

Recent Amendment in the Finance Bill, 2010

The Finance Bill 2010 (which became the Finance Act, 2010 on May 8, 2010) had proposed to amend the taxing entry of Renting of Immovable Property services with retrospective effect from 01.06.2007, inter alia, as under:

to any person, by any other person, by renting of immovable property or any other service in relation to such renting, for use in the course of or, for furtherance of, business or commerce.;

In this regard, the Circular issued by the TRU dated February 26, 2010 clarified as under:
Amendments are being made in the definition of the taxable service Renting of immovable property [section 65 (105) (zzzz)] to (i) provide explicitly that the activity of renting itself is a taxable service. This change is being given retrospective effect from 01.06.2007;
With the above retrospective amendment, renting of immovable property became taxable with effect from June 1, 2007 and therefore, the Delhi High Court decision was nullified.

Recent Developments

The Delhi High Court while granting the stay has considered the decision of the Division Bench of Delhi High Court in Home Solutions Retail India Ltd. & Ors. v. Union of India [2009 (237) ELT 209 (Del.)], wherein it was held that renting of real estate by itself cannot be by any stretch of imagination be regarded as a service. It was also observed that the renting by itself did not entail any value addition, and therefore, cannot be regarded as a service.
The Delhi High Court has also acknowledged that on the basis of aforesaid decision, which is presently pending adjudication before the Supreme Court, that the present amendment has been introduced to Section 65 (105)(zzzz) by virtue of the Finance Act, 2010 and in particular to Section 76 thereof.

It was argued by the petitioner that the amendment sought to be introduced, puts the petitioner in a worse position than the original provision which has already held not to have any element of service so as to be exigible to Service tax.
The Honble Delhi High Court, while granting the stay under the amended taxing entry of
Renting of Immovable Property service has stated as under:

Prima facie, it appears that renting of immovable property itself has been regarded as a service by virtue of the recent amendment even though this Court by virtue of the said decision on 18.04.2009 had categorically concluded that renting of immovable property by itself cannot be regarded as a service.

The respondents shall file the counter-affidavits within four weeks and the petitioner shall file the rejoinder / affidavits thereto within two weeks thereafter. In the meanwhile, there shall be no recovery of Service tax from the petitioner in respect of renting of immovable property alone. No such service tax would be recovered from respondents 5-10 in the meanwhile.
It is made clear that in the event the writ petition is dismissed, the liability to pay Service tax along with any other liability as a result of demand made will solely be that of the petitioner. We make it clear that there is no challenge in this writ petition to the second part of the aforesaid provision, namely, any other service in relation to such renting and consequently, if there is any other such service, the service provider would be liable to pay service tax on such service and in respect of this portion of the provision there is no stay.
Conclusion

The Delhi High Court in its erstwhile Order dated April 18, 2009 had held that renting of immovable property by itself cannot be regarded as a service. The proposed amendment vide the Finance Bill 2010 in the definition of taxable service was sought to bring within the Service tax net the activity of renting of immovable property per se. The proposed amendment thus, seeks to nullify the position settled by the decision of the Honble High Court of Delhi in Home Solutions Retail India Ltd. The above in fact has also been observed by the Delhi High Court in its Stay Order dated May 18, 2010.
It is important to note that the above stay order shall be applicable only to the petitioner, i.e., Home Solutions Retail India Ltd and not to any other party.

However, what remains unclear is whether something which is not a service per se can be deemed to be a service and whether Service tax can be levied on the same. Further, whether the Central Government is competent under the legislation to tax immovable property, which is the subject area of taxation for the State Governments is a matter left unanswered

Service Tax Circular
No. 122/03/2010-ST
Dated 30-4-2010

Clarification regarding availment of CENVAT credit on input services
Representations have been received by Board regarding denial of CENVAT credit on input services in certain cases. Some of the cases where doubts have been raised by field formations are given below:
2. As per Rule 4 (7) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, the CENVAT credit on input services is available only on or after the day on which payment of the value of input service and service tax is made. The section 67 (4) of the Finance Act, 1994, provides that gross amount charged includes payment made by issue of credit / debit notes or by entries in the books of account, where the transaction is with any associated enterprise.
A doubt has arisen as to whether CENVAT credit can be taken by "Associate Enterprises" when debit is made in book of accounts or when book adjustments/ debit or credit in accounts is made, or if the CENVAT credit of the service tax paid on input service is available only after the actual payment of the value of input service has been made in money terms.
3. As per sub-rule (7) of Rule 4 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004,
"Credit in respect of input service shall be allowed, on or after the day on which payment is made of the value of input service and the service tax paid or payable as is indicated in invoice, bill or as the case may be, challan referred to in Rule 9".
A doubt raised is as to whether the receiver of input service can take credit only after the full value that is indicated in the invoice, bill or challan raised by the service provider, and also the service tax payable thereon, has been paid. It has been represented that in many cases, after the invoice is issued by the service provider, the service receiver does not make the full payment of the invoiced amount on account of discount agreed upon after issuance of invoice; or deducts certain amount due to unsatisfactory service; or withholds some amount as security to be held during contract period. Due to these reasons the value paid may not tally with the amount indicated in the invoice, bill or challan. In such cases the department has raised objections to the taking of credit as it does not meet the requirement of the said sub-rule (7).
4. Thus the following issues relating to availment of CENVAT credit need clarification,-
Whether CENVAT credit can be claimed
(a) when payments are made through debit/credit notes and debit/credit entries in books of account or by any other mode as mentioned in section 67 Explanation (c) for transactions between associate enterprises; or
(b) where a service receiver does not pay the full invoice value and the service tax indicated thereon due to some reasons.
5. Matter has been examined and clarification in respect of each of the above mentioned issues is as under,-
(a) When the substantive law i.e. section 67 of the Finance Act, 1994 treats such book adjustments etc., as deemed payment, there is no reason for denying such extended meaning to the word 'payment' for availment of credit. As far as the provisions of Rule 4 (7) are concerned, it only provides that the CENVAT credit shall be allowed, on or after the date on which payment is made of the value of the input service and of service tax. The form of payment is not indicated in the same and the rule does not place restriction on payment through debit in the books of accounts. Therefore, if the service charges as well as the service tax have been paid in any prescribed manner which is entitled to be called 'gross amount charged' then credit should be allowed under said rule 4 (7). Thus, in the case of "Associate Enterprises", credit of service tax can be availed of when the payment has been made to the service provider in terms of section 67 (4) (c) of Finance Act, 1994 and the service tax has been paid to the Government Account.
(b) In the cases where the receiver of service reduces the amount mentioned in the invoice/bill/challan and makes discounted payment, then it should be taken as final payment towards the provision of service. The mere fact that finally settled amount is less than the amount shown in the invoice does not alter the fact that service charges have been paid and thus the service receiver is entitled to take credit provided he has also paid the amount of service tax, (whether proportionately reduced or the original amount) to the service provider. The invoice would in fact stand amended to that extent. The credit taken would be equivalent to the amount that is paid as service tax. However, in case of subsequent refund or extra payment of service tax, the credit would also be altered accordingly.
6. The contents of this circular may be suitably brought to the notice of the field formations. In case any difficulty is faced in implementing these instructions, the same may be brought to the notice of the undersigned

Therefore, if the service charges as well as the service tax have been paid in any prescribed manner which is entitled to be called 'gross amount charged' then credit should be allowed under said rule 4 (7). Thus, in the case of "Associate Enterprises", credit of service tax can be availed of when the payment has been made to the service provider in terms of section 67 (4) (c) of Finance Act, 1994 and the service tax has been paid to the Government Account.
(b) In the cases where the receiver of service reduces the amount mentioned in the invoice/bill/challan and makes discounted payment, then it should be taken as final payment towards the provision of service. The mere fact that finally settled amount is less than the amount shown in the invoice does not alter the fact that service charges have been paid and thus the service receiver is entitled to take credit provided he has also paid the amount of service tax, (whether proportionately reduced or the original amount) to the service provider. The invoice would in fact stand amended to that extent. The credit taken would be equivalent to the amount that is paid as service tax. However, in case of subsequent refund or extra payment of service tax, the credit would also be altered accordingly.
6. The contents of this circular may be suitably brought to the notice of the field formations. In case any difficulty is faced in implementing these instructions, the same may be brought to the notice of the undersigned

Procedure for Electronic filing of Central Excise and Service Tax returns and Electronic Payment of Taxes
In continuation of its efforts for trade facilitation, CBEC has rolled-out a new centralized, web-based and workflow-based software application called Automation of Central Excise and Service Tax (ACES) in all 104 Commissionerates of Central Excise, service Tax and large Tax Payer Units (LTUs) as on 23rd December, 2009. ACES is a Mission Mode project (MMP) of the Govt. of India under the national e-governance plan and it aims at improving tax-payer services, transparency, accountability and efficiency in the indirect tax administration in India. This application has replaced the current applications of SERMON, SACER, and SAPS used in Central Excise and Service Tax for capturing returns and registration details of the assessees and hence, in supercession of the CBEC Circular No.791/24/2004-CX. dated 1.6.2004 and CBEC Circular No. ST 52/1/2003 dated 11.03.2003, this revised circular is being issued.

6. System-generated E-Acknowledgement
7. Online tracking of the status of selected documents
8. Online view facility to see selected documents
9. Internal messaging system on business-related matters
IV. Registration Process:
To transact business on ACES a user has to first register himself/herself with ACES through a process called 'Registration with ACES'. This registration is not a statutory registration as envisaged in Acts/Rules governing Central Excise and Service Tax but helps the application in recognizing the bonafide users. Described below are steps for taking registration by a new assessee , existing assessee , non- assessee and a Large Tax Payer Unit (LTU).
(a) New Assessee
1. The user needs to log onto the system, through internet at http://www.aces.gov.in
2. He/she chooses the Central Excise/Service Tax button from the panel appearing on the left of the webpage.
3. Clicks the button "New Users Click here to Register with ACES" in the Log-in screen that appears after clicking Central Excise/Service Tax button.
4. Fills in and submits the form "Registration with ACES", by furnishing a self-chosen user ID and e-mail ID. User ID, once chosen is final and cannot be changed by the assessee in future.
5. The system will check for availability of the chosen User ID and then generate a password and send it by e-mail, mentioned by him/her in the Form.
6. ACES provides assistance of 'Know your location code' for choosing correct jurisdictional office.
7. The user then re-logs-in and proceeds with the statutory registration with Central Excise/Service Tax, by filling-in the appropriate Form namely A-1, A-2 or ST-1 etc. by clicking the " Reg " link in the Menu bar that appears on the top of the screen. For security reasons, the password should be changed immediately.
8. The system instantaneously generates an acknowledgement number after which the registration request goes to the jurisdictional Assistant or Deputy Commissioner (AC/DC). Depending on the instructions in force, assessees may be required to submit certain documents to the department for verification. After due processing, the AC/DC, in case of Central Excise and Superintendent /Commissioner (for centralized registration only), in case of Service Tax, generates Registration Certificate (RC) and a message to this effect is sent to the assessees electronically. The assessee can view this and take a print-out of this.
9. Depending on the option chosen by the assessee , the signed copy of the RC can be sent by post or can be collected by assessee in person.
10. While submitting registration form, if the assessee makes a mistake in choosing a wrong jurisdiction ( Commissionerate /Division/ Range), ACES provides a facility to the AC/DC to forward the application to the correct jurisdictional officer to issue registration and a message to this effect is sent to the assessee for information.
11. The registration number will be same as the current 15-digit format with minor change such as
For-PAN based Assessees
1-10 digits - PAN of the Assessee
11-12 digits-EM (Excise Manufacturer), ED (Excise Dealer), SD (Service Tax)
13-15-Systems generated alphanumeric serial number
For non-PAN based assessees
1-4 digits TEMP
5-10 Systems generated alpha numeric number
11-12 EM (Excise Manufacturer) or ED (Excise Dealer), SD (Service Tax)
13-15-Systems generated alphanumeric serial number
(b) Existing Assessee
1.The existing assessees will not have to take fresh registrations. They will have to only register with the ACES application. This can be done in the following manner :
ACES application will automatically send mails to the e-mail IDs of the assessee , as available in the existing registration data base, indicating a TPIN number, and password. The mail will contain a hyperlink to the website.
++ Assessee clicks on the hyperlink and is taken to ACES application
++ Assessee submits the form after filling the requisite information including the password provided in the e-mail, a new User ID and new password. User ID, once chosen is final and cannot be changed by the assessee in future.
++ On successful registration with ACES, the assessee can transact business through ACES.
1. Existing assessees should note that they should register with ACES by following the procedure at (1) above and they should not register with ACES through the direct method, meant for new assessees , as discussed under (a) above. They should also not fill-in registration forms again as it will lead to allotment of new registration numbers by the system.
2. Assessees should ensure that their contact details in the department's registration data base are updated to include their valid and current e-mail ids, otherwise they will not receive any such mail. Those assessees who have not yet furnished their email IDs to the department or even after furnishing the ID have not received the TPIN mail from ACES are advised to contact the jurisdictional Range Officers or LTU Client Executives and furnish their email IDs in writing. The officer will thereafter incorporate the email ID in the ACES registration database of the assessee and arrange to send the TPIN mail to the assessee's email ID.
(c) Non- Assessee
1.This category of registration is given in ACES to any individual, firm or company which requires to transact with the Central Excise or Service Tax Department, though not an assessee such as (a) merchant exporter, (b) co- noticee , (c) refund applicant, (d) persons who have failed to obtain CE/ST registration as required under the law and against whom the Department has initiated proceedings and (e) persons who are required to tender any payment under CE/ST Act /Rules. The Non- assessees are not required to file any tax returns.
2. Where such persons desire to seek non- assessee registration they follow same steps as in case of new assessee except that while choosing the registration form in step (vii) they have to choose and fill in the Non- assessee form.
3. In case the assessee is taking such registration for claiming any refund or rebate it is mandatory to furnish his/her valid PAN.
4. A Non- assessee registration can also be done by the designated officer of the Commissionerate , on behalf of the non- assessee .
(d) Large Tax Payer Unit (LTU) Assessee /Client
1. The consent form will have to be submitted manually by the New LTU assessees to the jurisdictional LTU office which will be processed off line
2. The approved consent form will be uploaded by the competent officer of the Group LTU (GLTU) into ACES
3. Any new unit of an existing LTU, which applies for registration with ACES will be automatically attached with the LTU Commissionerate based upon PAN details in the registration form
4. As soon as the new or existing unit is attached with the LTU Commissionerate , a suitable intimation will be automatically sent by the ACES to the existing jurisdictional Commissionerate and the pending items of work will be transferred to the LTU Commissionerate
5. For existing LTU assessees , the process of registration is same as explained in Sub Para (b) above.
IMPORTANT:
i. The user ID once selected will be permanent and cannot be changed. However, it is desirable to frequently change passwords
ii. The User ID should be of 6-12 alphanumeric characters, no special character such as ! @#$%*&( )+ or spaces except underscore '-' shall be allowed.
iii. New assessee seeking registrations in Central Excise and Service Tax will also submit to the jurisdictional Range officer, a printout of the application form submitted online duly signed by the authorized signatory along with required documents.
iv. Assessees should note that the e-mail ID is furnished to the department in writing, and they will be responsible for all communications to and from this email ID. Currently, ACES provides for communication to one email ID only. After registration with the ACES, assessees , on their own, can modify their registration details online, including their e-mail ID.
v. In the interest of security and data protection, assessees are advised to change their passwords regularly and not to share it with unauthorized persons. In case of any dispute, the person whose user ID and Password has been used to access the application will be held liable for the action and any other consequences.
V. E-filing of Returns
The assesses can electronically file statutory returns of Central Excise and Service Tax by choosing one of the two facilities being offered by the department at present: (a) they can file it online, or (b) download the off-line return utilities which can be filled-in off-line and uploaded to the system through the internet.
a. Steps for preparing and filing returns
(i) Returns can be prepared and filed on line by selecting the 'File Return' option under RET module after logging into the ACES.
(ii) All validations are thrown up during the preparation of the return in this mode and the status of the return filed using the online mode is instantaneously shown by ACES.
(iii) Returns can also be prepared and filed off-line. Assessee downloads the Offline return preparation utility available at http://www.aces.gov.in (Under Download)
(iv) Prepares the return offline using this utility. The return preparation utility contains preliminary validations which are thrown up by the utility from time to time.
(v) Assessee logs in using the User ID and password.
(vi) Selects RET from the main menu and uploads the return. Instructions for using the offline utilities are given in detail in the Help section, under 'Download' link and assessees are advised to follow them.
(vii) Returns uploaded through this procedure are validated by the ACES before acceptance into the system which may take up to one business day. Assessee can track the status of the return by selecting the appropriate option in the RET sub menu. The status will appear as "uploaded" meaning under process by ACES, "Filed" meaning successfully accepted by the system or "Rejected" meaning the ACES has rejected the return due to validation error. The rejected returns can be resubmitted after corrections.
(viii) Once the Central Excise returns are filed online in ACES or uploaded to the system using the off-line utility, the same can not be modified or cancelled by the assessee . The Service Tax returns, however, can be modified once as per rules up to 90 days from the date of filing the initial return.
(ix) Self-assessed CE returns, after scrutiny by the competent officer, may result into modification. Both the 'Original' and the 'Reviewed' return can be viewed by the assessee online.
b. Using XML Schema for filing Dealers Return
Currently, the ACES Application allows on-line filing of Quarterly Returns by the Registered Dealers accessing the site www.aces.gov.in by using the excel utility. Some assesses who use their own software application in their offices find the process of manual entry of data in the excel format of Returns as a time consuming and avoidable exercise. A new feature of XML schema has now been introduced. Now using the schema, assessees , after making necessary modifications in their own software application, can generate their return from their application. Below mentioned steps elaborate the process to prepare, validate and upload the Dealer's Return.
Steps to prepare the XML
Step 1: ACES application accepts the return in XML format. Prepare the Dealer return XML and validate it against the schema ACES_DLR.xsd provided.
Step 2: Login to the ACES application and upload the XML for processing. XML will be again validated against same XSD again before processing.
XML File only will be considered valid if it satisfies the requirements of the schema (predefined XSD) with which it has been associated. These requirements typically include such constraints as:
Elements and attributes that must/may be included, and their permitted structure
The structure as specified by regular expression syntax
Instructions for using the schema are given in detail in the Help section, under 'Download' link. Assessees are advised to follow them.
c. Filing of Returns and other documents through the ACES Certified Facilitation Centres (CFCs)
Very soon, CBEC will be setting up ACES Certified Facilitation Centres (CFCs) with the help of professional bodies like Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India (ICWAI) etc. These CFCc will provide a host of services to the assessees such as digitization of paper documents like returns etc. and uploading the same to ACES. Assessees requiring the services of the CFCs may be required to pay service fees to the CFCs. CBEC will approve the maximum rates at which CFCs can charge their customers for the services rendered by them. For this purpose, assessees are required to write to the department authorizing one of the CFCs, from the approved list, to work in ACES on their behalf. They have to furnish the name and other details of the CFCs, including the registration No issued by the ICAI/ICWAI etc. At any given time, one assessee can authorize one CFC, while one CFC can provide services to more than one assessee throughout India. In case the assessee wants to withdraw the authorization, it can do so by intimating the department. However, an assessee will be held liable for all actions of omission or commission of the CFC, during the period they are authorized by him/her to work in ACES.
d. Validation of the entries made while filling return
1.At the time of making entry in the electronic format of the relevant return, the software does some preliminary validation for ensuring correctness of data, either concurrently or at the time of saving / submitting the return. This validation process is automated. The user is prompted by the application software to correct the particulars entered wherever required. In respect of certain entries, although the application alerts the assessee about any entry found erroneous or inconsistent, as per the automated validation process, the assessee is still allowed to proceed further to complete data entry of the return and finally submit it electronically. But in some cases the assessees are not allowed to proceed further unless the error indicated is corrected.
2.A return filed electronically is subject to automatic verification process by the application and defective returns are marked to the departmental officer for review and correction. While reviewing the return the officer may seek some clarification from the assessee , call for some information, records or documents which should be furnished by the assessee . In case of review and correction of returns by the departmental officers, assesses will receive a message from the application and they can log in to the application to view the reviewed returns online.
3. Returns, captured off-line using the Downloadable utility and uploaded later on, are further subjected to certain validation checks. Processing of uploaded returns, using the off-line versions, is done at the end of one business day and the status can be viewed by the assessees under the 'VIEW STATUS' link under 'RET' module. Status is described as 'UPLOADED', 'FILED' or 'REJECTED' and they denote as follows:
++ UPLOADED denotes that return is uploaded and under processing ( assessees are advised to view the status after the end of a business day).
++ FILED denotes that uploaded return is accepted by system.
++ REJECTED denotes that return is rejected due to errors. (The assessees are required to correct the return and upload it again.)
1.There is no provision in ACES application to allow assessees to make corrections to the returns filed by them. Once the return is accepted by the system as successfully 'filed', no modification can be made by the assessee . However, if the return is rejected, the assessee can correct the errors and upload it again. The assessees are, therefore, advised to take utmost care while fill-in in the returns. They may, however, bring it to the notice of the departmental officers.
e. Acknowledgement of E-Filing of the return
In the case of a Central Excise or service Tax return filed on-line, ACES application software acknowledges it by displaying an Acknowledgement message. A unique document reference number is generated which consist of 15-digit registration number of the assessee , name of the return filed, the period for which return is filed etc. This is also automatically communicated to the email id of the assessee by the application. In the case of an uploaded Central Excise return, using offline utility, similar acknowledgement is generated and sent after the acceptance of the return by the system as a valid return i.e. when the status changes to 'FILED'.
f. Class of Assessees for whom e-filing of returns and e-payment is mandatory with effect from 1 st April, 2010 :
1.In terms of Notification No 04/2010-Central Excise (N.T.) dated the 19th February, 2010, an assessee , who has paid total duty of rupees ten lakhs or more including the amount of duty paid by utilization of CENVAT credit in the preceding financial year, is required to file the monthly or quarterly return, as the case may be, electronically, under sub-rule (1) of Rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002 and deposit the duty electronically through internet banking under sub-rule (1) of Rule 8 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002.

3. The earlier facility of e-filing on the website ( http://excise andservicetax.nic.in ), as provided in the CBEC Circular No.791/24/2004-CX. Dated 1.6.2004 is no more available and the assessees are required to file their returns online or by uploading the downloadable off-line return utilities to the new ACES website ( http://www.aces.gov.in ). Data structure for writing programmes to cull out the required return data (currently available for Dealer return) from the assessees's computers in XML format has also been provided. Such schema for ER 2 and ER 1 returns will be published in due course. For complete details and instructions, assessees can visit the aforesaid website. Assessees who are required to or opted to file returns electronically but are unable to file electronically, for any technical difficulty in filing the returns, on account of difficulties at the department's end viz. server/application is down or due to some defect in the software, should file their returns manually within the due date.
g . e-payment
1. For e-payment, assessees should open a net banking account with one of the authorized banks (currently there are 28 banks, list of which is available on the EASIEST (Electronic Accounting System in Excise and service Tax) website of CBEC, maintained by NSDL ( https://cbec.nsdl.com/EST/ ). P ayment through ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank can be done by assesses for select Commissionerates only, list of which is published in the aforesaid EASIEST website. Payment through all other authorized banks can be made for all Commissionerates .
2. For effecting payment, assessees can access the ACES website ( http://www.aces.gov.in/ ) and click on the e-payment link that will take them to the EASIEST portal ( https://cbec.nsdl.com/EST/ ) or they can directly visit the EASIEST portal.
3. Procedure for e-Payment:
1.To pay Excise Duty and Service Tax online, the assessee has to enter the 15 digit Assessee Code allotted by the department under erstwhile SACER/SAPS or the current application ACES.
2. There will be an online check on the validity of the Assessee Code entered.
3. If the Assessee code is valid, then corresponding assessee details like name, address, Commissionerate Code etc. as present in the Assessee Code Master will be displayed.
4. Based on the Assessee Code, the duty / tax i.e. Central Excise duty or Service Tax to be paid will be automatically selected.
5. The assessee is required to select the type of duty / tax to be paid by clicking on Select Accounting Codes for Excise or Select Accounting Codes for Service Tax, depending on the type of duty / tax to be paid.
6. At a time the assessee can select up to six Accounting Codes.
7. The assessee should also select the bank through which payment is to be made.
8. On submission of data entered, a confirmation screen will be displayed. If the taxpayer confirms the data entered in the screen, it will be directed to the net-banking site of the bank selected.
9. The taxpayer will login to the net-banking site with the user id/ password, provided by the bank for net-banking purpose, and will enter payment details at the bank site.
10. On successful payment, a challan counterfoil will be displayed containing CIN , payment details and bank name through which e-payment has been made. This counterfoil is proof of payment made.
h. Responsibility of the Assessee
1. It is the legal responsibility of the assessees , who are required to file returns, to file it within the due date as prescribed under law. The electronic filing of returns is mandatory for select class of Central Excise and Service Tax assessees , as mentioned in Notification No 04/2010-Central Excise (N.T.) dated the 19 th February, 2010, and Notification No. 01/2010 - Service Tax dated the 19 th February, 2010 respectively. Other assessees can also use ACES and file their returns electronically. It may, however, be noted that merely uploading the returns will not be considered as returns having been filed with the department. A return will be considered as filed, when the same is successfully accepted by the application as 'Filed' and the relevant date for determining the date of filing of return will be the date of uploading of such successfully 'filed' returns. In case a return is 'rejected' by the application, the date of uploading of the rejected return will not be considered as the date of filing, rather the date of uploading of the successfully 'filed', return (after the assessee carries out necessary corrections and uploads it again) will be considered as the actual date of filing.
2. In case the assessee experiences any difficulty in transacting in ACES such as filing of return, the assessees may lodge a complaint with the ACES Service Desk or the department by e-mail and/or by telephone, details of which are given below and obtain a ticket no. as an acknowledgement from the department. However, mere lodging of complaints with the ACES service desk will not be a valid ground to justify late filing of returns. If the difficulty is not on account of problems at the assessee's end, and can be clearly attributed to the department's IT infrastructure such as problems in accessing CBEC's ACES application due to server, network or application being down, proportionate time will be deducted from the date of uploading of successfully 'filed' returns to ascertain the actual date and time of filing of the return. Since the department maintains logs of such technical failures, in case of any dispute, the decision of the department will be final.
VI. Digital Signatures
The ACES application is designed to accept digitally signed documents. However, in the beginning this functionality is not going to be activated. Pending its activation the electronic returns will be filed into ACES without digital signatures. Hence, wherever the returns are submitted through ACES there will not be any requirement to submit signed hard copy separately.
VII . System Requirements for ACES
To use ACES following systems requirements are recommended:
++ Processor: Intel Pentium III and higher
++ RAM : 256 MB and higher
++ HDD : 80 GB and more
++ Web Browser: IE 6.0 and above, Netscape 6.2 and above
++ MS Excel 2003 and above for using offline utilities
++ Sound Card, Speakers/Headphones, Colour Monitor for using Learning Management Systems ( LMS )
VIII. Help for Assessees
CBEC has set up a Service Desk with National toll-free No. 1800 425 4251, which can be accessed by between 9 AM to 7 PM on all working days (Monday to Friday). Besides, e-mails can be sent to aces.servicedesk@icegate.gov.in. All the calls/e-mails will be issued a unique ticket number, which will be attended to by the Service Desk agents for appropriate response.
A Learning Management Software ( LMS ) has been provided on the ACES website, which is a multimedia-based self-learning online tutorial guiding the aseesees in a step-by-step processes to use ACES. The downloadable version of Learning Management Software is also provided on the website. Besides, User Manuals, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), Power Point Presentation, and a Brochure have also been provided on the website to help the assessees use ACES

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO.9/2010-CUS
Dated: April 8, 2010

Subject: Issue of Custom House Agent License-Reference from field formations - regarding.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board by certain field formations that they are facing difficulties in issuance of Custom House Agents (CHA) License for eligible persons and in implementation of the Custom House Agents Licensing Regulations (CHALR), 2004.
2. These issues were examined by the Board in consultation with customs field formations and in the Board meeting. Further, a meeting was also held with the Chief Commissioners of Customs having jurisdiction over major Custom Houses. Accordingly the following decisions have been taken on the issues listed below:-
(i) Minimum number of CHAs required in a Customs station:
3. Regulation 4 of the CHALR, 2004 provides the process of issue of CHA licences whereby the Commissioner of Customs may invite applications for the grant of such number of licences as assessed by him, to act as Customs House Agents in a customs station. The CHALR, 2004 do not provide for any restrictions on the number of CHAs. Board is of the view that, ideally, no restriction should be placed on the number of CHAs operating in the Custom Houses and the market forces should govern the number of proficient and qualified persons required to carry out the job of CHA commensurate with the volume of import / export cargo. The Board also did not find any justification in prescribing a turnover based criteria for ascertainment of the number of CHA licenses required to be issued at a particular Custom House / Station, in as much as the practice of undertaking CHA services on the basis of Form 'C' intimation was already in vogue and would render such exercise meaningless. The Board, therefore, has decided against fixing a numeric criterion governing the number of CHA licenses being issued. Board has also decided that the examination under Regulation 8 shall be conducted on an annual basis instead of twice a year, by suitably amending the sub-regulation (1) to Regulation 8.
(ii) Employment of person by a CHA:
4. In the present scheme of CHALR, 2004 under regulation 19(1), the Custom House Agent may employ any person who shall have a minimum educational qualification of 10+2 School education. However, appointment of such person shall be made only after obtaining approval of the Deputy Commissioner / Assistant Commissioner (DC/AC) designated by the Commissioner of Customs, who shall take into consideration the antecedents and character of the person as provided in regulation 19(2) of CHALR, 2004. In this regard, Board has decided that the DC/AC concerned, may ensure that individuals involved in any fraudulent activity (i.e., individuals suspended or blacklisted or denied permission to work in any section of the Custom House) shall not be allowed to be employed by a CHA for transacting business with Customs. Necessary undertaking in this regard may also be taken from the CHA at the time of submission of application giving details of the person who are proposed to be employed by them.
4.2. CHALR, 2004 do not provide for any restriction on the number of persons a CHA can employ as it would depend upon the workload and requirements of a CHA. However, under the regulation 19(3), any person employed by CHA is required to appear through an examination conducted by DC/AC designated or a Committee of officers to ascertain the adequacy of the knowledge of such persons about the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962 before they are granted 'G' Card. Hence, it is reiterated that it is only those persons who have qualified themselves in the examination conducted under regulation 19(3) and who have been authorized by CHA in terms of regulation 19(5) alone are allowed to sign the declarations filed before Customs for transacting the work at any Custom station. Those persons who have not qualified in the examination but who are still in employment with CHA are being given 'H' card for assisting the CHA in his work. However, the Commissioner of Customs in a Custom House / Station shall undertake an annual review of such 'H' Cardholders with each CHA to ensure that discredited individuals are not being allowed to work as 'H' Cardholders. The examination under Regulation 19(3) shall also be conducted by Commissionerate of Customs on annual basis.
(iii) Suspension or revocation against CHAs operating on 'C' form intimation basis:
5.1. CHALR, 2004 provide a facility for the CHAs who have been issued a license from a particular customs station to operate under Form 'C' intimation at another customs station. In case of such CHAs, who are found to have violated any provision of the CHALR, 2004 at any customs station, it is clarified that the suspension action against CHA's operations may be taken by the Commissioner of Customs at the station who issued the CHA license and such action would either be limited to a particular customs station where a violation has been noticed or action against the CHA in general, applicable at all customs stations where the CHA operates, depending upon the gravity and seriousness of the violation. Where the CHA licence is suspended, all 'G' and 'H' cards issued in respect of that licence would become non-operational.
5.2. Further, it is also clarified that the Commissioner of Customs at a customs station who had authorised a CHA to operate on 'C' form intimation, should inform the details of violations to the Commissioner of Customs at the customs station from where the CHA licence was issued for such CHA, so that necessary action for suspension or revocation of CHA licence, could be initiated by him. This would avoid duplication and ensure uniformity in adjudication of a case against a CHA in suspension or revocation proceedings by the Customs field formations. However, the Commissioner of Customs, who had authorised a CHA to operate on 'C' form intimation at a customs station, may take action in deserving cases under regulation 21 of CHALR, 2004 for prohibiting the working of such defaulting CHA in any section of the Custom House/Customs Station.
(iv) Know Your Customs (KYC) norms for identification of clients by CHAs:
6. In the context of increasing number of offences involving various modus-operandi such as misuse of export promotion schemes, fraudulent availment of export incentives and duty evasion by bogus IEC holders etc., it has been decided by the Board to put in place the " Know Your Customer (KYC)" guidelines for CHAs so that they are not used intentionally or unintentionally by importers / exporters who indulge in fraudulent activities. Accordingly, Regulation 13 of CHALR, 2004, has been suitably amended to provide that certain obligations on the CHAs to verify the antecedent, correctness of Import Export Code (IEC) Number, identity of his client and the functioning of his client in the declared address by using reliable, independent, authentic documents, data or information. In this regard, a detailed guideline on the list of documents to be verified and obtained from the client/ customer is enclosed in the Annexure. It would also be obligatory for the client/ customer to furnish to the CHA, a photograph of himself/herself in the case of an individual and those of the authorised signatory in respect of other forms of organizations such as company/ trusts etc., and any two of the listed documents in the annexure.
(v) Time limit for completion of suspension proceedings against CHA licensee under regulation 22:
7.1. The present procedure prescribed for completion of regular suspension proceedings takes a long time since it involves inquiry proceedings, and there is no time limit prescribed for completion of such proceedings. Hence, it has been decided by the Board to prescribe an overall time limit of nine months from the date of receipt of offence report, by prescribing time limits at various stages of issue of Show Cause Notice, submission of inquiry report by the Deputy Commissioner of Customs or Assistant Commissioner of Customs recording his findings on the issue of suspension of CHA license, and for passing of an order by the Commissioner of Customs. Suitable changes have been made in the present time limit of forty five days for reply by CHA to the notice of suspension, sixty days time for representation against the report of AC/DC on the grounds not accepted by CHA, by reducing the time to thirty days in both the cases under the Regulations.
7.2. In cases where immediate suspension action against a CHA is required to be taken by a Commissioner of Customs under regulation 20(2), there is no need for following the procedure prescribed under Regulation 22 since such an action is taken immediately and only in justified cases depending upon the seriousness or gravity of offence. However, it has been decided by the Board that a 'post-decisional hearing' should be given in all such cases so that errors apparent, if any, can be corrected and an opportunity for personal hearing is given to the aggrieved party. Further, Board has also prescribed certain time limits in cases warranting immediate suspension under Regulation 20(2). Accordingly, the investigating authority shall furnish its report to the Commissioner of Customs who had issued the CHA license (Licensing authority), within thirty days of the detection of an offence. The Licensing authority shall take necessary immediate suspension action within fifteen days of the receipt of the report of the investigating authority. A post-decisional hearing shall be granted to the party within fifteen days from the date of his suspension. The Commissioner of Customs concerned shall issue an Adjudication Order, where it is possible to do so, within fifteen days from the date of personal hearing so granted by him.
(vi) CHA licenses in respect of individuals who had passed the examination under CHALR, 1984:
8.1. The issue of granting CHA license in respect of persons who had already passed the written and oral examinations held under Regulation 9 examination of Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations (CHALR), 1984 and are yet to be considered for issue of CHA license, was examined by the Board. On this issue, the Board in its earlier meeting had held that with the introduction of CHALR, 2004, there was no generalized case for grant of CHA licence to such applicants having passed Regulation 9 examination under CHALR, 1984 as the requirements of educational qualification and also examination curriculum were different in the two regulations. Considering the hardships experienced by such persons and in order to remedy the situation by providing one time opportunity to qualify them for grant of CHA license, It has been decided by the Board to conduct written examination for these persons on the following additional subjects: (a) The Patents Act, 1970 and Indian Copy Right Act; 1957 (b) Central Excise Act, 1944 (c) export promotion schemes (d) Procedure on appeal and revision petition (e) Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and (f) online filing of electronic Customs declarations, (g) Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and (h) Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. The aforesaid examination would be conducted by the Directorate General of Inspection after giving due notice to these candidates. Accordingly, persons who qualify in the aforesaid examination shall be deemed to have passed under the Regulation 8 of Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 2004, and would be considered for grant of CHA license in terms of Regulations 9 of CHALR, 2004 by the concerned Commissionerate from where they had earlier passed the CHA examination held under CHALR, 1984.
8.2. Board also took note of the fact that these candidates had passed the CHA examination held under CHALR, 1984 based on the qualification prevailing at that relevant point of time, and that a precedent existed wherein a dispensation was prescribed vide Board's Circular No.48/2000-Customs dated 22.5.2000 for a specific period. Accordingly it was also decided by the Board that in case of Regulation 9 examination passed candidates under the CHALR, 1984, the relaxation provided in respect of educational qualifications vide Board's Circular No. 48/2000-Customs shall be extended on similar basis.
9. The aforesaid decisions of the Board involving change in the CHALR, 2004, has been implemented by issue of Notification No.30/2010-Customs (NT) dated 8.4.2010.
10. These instructions may be brought to the notice of the trade by issuing suitable Trade / Public Notices. Suitable Standing orders/instructions may be issued for the guidance of the field officers.
11. Difficulties faced, if any, in implementation of this Circular, changes made in the CHALR, 2004 may be brought to the notice of the Board immediately.

STax of Rs10 lakh and above must be paid by e-mode
Service tax payment by big taxpayers enters electronic Era



In this era of information technology, business is bound to be at the speed of thought and the government does not wish to lag behind. Manual payments through bank challans and other conventional methods have experienced the hurdles of cheque clearances and difficulties faced by the finance department at the time of reconciliation of figures. Information technology, no doubt, has fostered all areas.

However, it is a double-edged sword as it makes payment procedures easy to execute but difficult to rectify the mistakes. Electronic payment, popularly known as e-payment, is an additional mode of paying Service tax to the government, apart from the conventional methods offered by banks to their customers. This scheme facilitates assessees by using the concept of "anytime anywhere". Payment can be made through this facility even after normal banking hours.

Such flexibility is not available in the conventional method of tax payment. Nonetheless, the public at large still has some inhibitions regarding the online method of payment, which still requires to win the trust and reliability of tax-payers. People prefer manual dealings as sometimes servers are down or due to heavy traffic connections are very slow. Insecure payment gateways also cause failure of transactions.
E-tax payment has been made mandatory with effect from October 1, 2006 for the assessee who has "paid" Service tax of Rs50 lakh (old) or more in the current financial year or the previous financial year. Recently, vide notification no. 01/2010-S.T. dated February 19, 2010, this limit has been reduced to Rs10 lakh.

Here, for considering the limit of Rs10 lakh, the word "paid" includes payment through cash as well as CENVAT credit. When tax is required to be paid electronically, failure to do so would lead to penalty under Section 77 of the Finance Act, 1994, which may extend to Rs5,000. There are many advantages of e-payment, including ease of operation and convenience.

The facility is available 24x7 and there are no queues and waiting. Minimum fields of the challan need to be filled and an auto fill lends a helping hand. Moreover, you get an Instant Cyber receipt with the bank's transaction number along with the acknowledgement of the challan, which can be retrieved again at any time as per your need.

As this is a 24x7 facility, it is operated through a system known as OLTAS (On-Line Tax Assessment System). All payments effected up to 8 pm will be treated as that day's receipt. Payments effected after 8 pm will be accounted as the next working day's receipt.
Certain doubts have also been raised as regards the interpretation of qualifying amount of Service tax of Rs10 lakh paid by the assessee. For a person providing taxable service from more than one premises, where each such premises is separately registered with the department for payment of Service tax, the criterion of Rs10 lakh would apply to each registered premises individually, as each registered premises is separately an assessee in terms of law.

If a person providing taxable service also receives taxable services on which he is liable to pay Service tax, and has single registered premises, the Service tax amount of Rs10 lakh would be the total amount of Service tax paid by him, i.e. Service tax paid on taxable service provided from and Service tax paid on taxable service received in such registered premises would be taken into account for the purposes of satisfaction of criterion of payment of Service tax amount of Rs 10 lakh. For illustration, if a person provides taxable service as well as receives Goods Transport Agency (GTA) service, then for considering the Rs10 lakh criterion total of taxable services provided as well as GTA services received should be considered.

For e-payment, assessees should open a net banking account with one of the authorised banks (currently there are 28 banks), list of which is available on the EASIEST (Electronic Accounting System in Excise and Service Tax) website of CBEC, maintained by NSDL (https://cbec.nsdl.com/EST/).
Payment through ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank can be done by assessees for select commissionerates only, list of which is displayed in the aforesaid EASIEST website. Payment through all other authorised banks can be made for all commissionerates. One has to follow a simple procedure for e-payment: To pay Service tax online, the assessee has to enter the 15-digit PAN-based Assessee Code. Instantly, there will be an online check of the validity of the Assessee Code entered.
If the Assessee Code is valid, then corresponding assessee details like name, address, commissionerate code etc as present in the Assessee Code Master will be displayed, and based on the Assessee Code,

Service tax to be paid will be automatically selected. The assessee is required to select the type of tax to be paid by clicking on Select Accounting Codes for Service tax. The best part is that at a time the assessee can select up to six Accounting Codes. The assessee should also select the bank through which payment is to be made.
On submission of data entered, a confirmation screen will be displayed. If the taxpayer confirms the data entered in the screen, it will be directed to the net-banking site of the bank selected. The taxpayer has to login to the net banking site with the user id/ password, provided by the bank for net-banking purpose, and enter payment details at the bank site.

On successful payment, a challan counterfoil will be displayed containing CIN, payment details and bank name through which e-payment has been made. This counterfoil is proof of payment made. The procedure is much simpler and easier than waiting for the bank clerk for long hours and at the end not getting a proper receipt. The Service tax department has already entered the e-era; now it's time that the service providers do not lag behind

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO.8/2010-Cus.
Dated: March 26, 2010

Subject: Import of Cosmetics under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules made thereunder - regarding .

I am directed to invite your attention to the Board's Instructions vide F.No . 450/08/2007-Cus.IV dated 22 nd January, 2007 regarding import of drugs under Chemical or generic name and permitting its clearance through specified places under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945.

2. In terms of Rule 133 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, no cosmetics shall be imported into India except through the points of entry specified in Rule 43A of the said Rules. Further, under Schedule "D" to the said Rules read with Rule 43, an exemption has been provided to certain categories of substances from the restrictions under Chapter III of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 relating to import of Drugs and Cosmetics. Therefore, a doubt has arisen as to whether import of cosmetics could be permitted through any port in the country under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. The matter was taken up with the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for obtaining necessary clarification.

3. The DCGI has clarified the aforesaid issue. It is stated by them that Rule 133 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules limits the import of cosmetics through the points of entry specified under Rule 43A. However, under Schedule "D" to the said Rules, an exemption has been provided for substances not intended for medical use from the provisions of Chapter III of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules made thereunder . The Act provides for separate definition for 'cosmetic' and 'drug' under Sub-Section 3( aaa ) and 3(b), respectively. Hence, they have stated that the phrase 'substances not intended for medical use' would only relate to substances which would otherwise fall under the definition of the term 'drug' under section 3(b) of the Act, but are being imported not for medicinal use or for some other purposes or are of commercial quality and are being labelled indicating that they are not for medicinal use. Accordingly, they had clarified that this exemption does not extend to other categories of products defined under the Act including cosmetics. For the purpose of import of cosmetics, provision of Rule 133 therefore remains applicable.

4. Accordingly, import of cosmetics at points of entry / places other than those specified under Rule 43A may not be permitted as per the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. The points of entry have been specifically mentioned in Rule 43A such as Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nhava Sheva , Cochin, Kandla , Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Ferozepur Cantonment, Amritsar, Ranaghat , Bongaon and Mohiassan Railways Stations. If the imports are noticed through Customs stations, other than the one notified as mentioned above, then necessary action may be taken for non-compliance of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules in respect of such imports.

5. Board's Instructions vide F.No.450/08/2007-Cus.IV dated 22.1.2007 shall apply for import of drugs. In case of import of drugs noticed at places other than those that have been notified under the above Rules, the instruction communicated by Drugs Controller General of India, Directorate General of Health Services vide No.16/6-DC dated 15.6.2007 (copy enclosed) may be followed.
6. These instructions may be brought to the notice of all concerned by way of issuance of suitable Public Notice / Standing Order.

7. Difficulties, if any, in implementation of the Circular may be brought immediately to the notice of the Board.

Sub: Recovery of drawback amount on the portion of the FOB value of export not realized by the exporter but compensated by ECGC - reg.

I am directed to say that payment of duty drawback is governed by provisions of section 75 of the Customs Act, 1962 and the rules made there under. Section 75 of the Customs Act provides that where any drawback has been allowed on any goods and the sale proceeds in respect of such goods are not realized within the time allowed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 such drawback shall be deemed never to have been allowed and the Central Government may, by Rules made under section 75 (2), specify the procedure for the recovery of the amount of such drawback. A procedure has also been laid down under the Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax Drawback Rules, 1995 for recovery of drawback in case of non-realization of export proceeds. Therefore, the amount of drawback paid in all such cases where export proceeds have not been realized has to be recovered.

2. However, it has been brought to notice of the Board that some exporters are resisting recovery of drawback in cases where export proceeds have not been realized citing provisions in Handbook of Procedure (HBP) (Vol.1) of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) discussed below.

3. Para 2.25.1 of the Handbook of Procedure (HBP) (Vol.1) of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2009-2014 provides that payment through ECGC cover would count for benefits under FTP. The FTP 2004-09 (Para 2.25.1 of the HBP v.1) and the FTP 2002-2007 (Para 2.25.3 of the HBP v.1) also had the same provision. The DGFT vide Policy Circular No.12/2002-2007 dated 1.11.2002 had clarified that this provision would also be applicable to exports made or licenses issued prior to 01.4.2002.

4. Further, a new provision has been made in the current FTP (Para 2.25.4 of the HBP v.1, 2009-14) which provides that realization of export proceeds shall not be insisted under any of the Export Promotion Schemes under the Foreign Trade Policy, if the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) writes off the requirement of realization of export proceeds on merits and the exporter produces a certificate from the concerned foreign Mission of India about the fact of non-recovery of export proceeds from the buyer. However, this would not be applicable in self-write off cases.

5. Since the Drawback scheme is governed by the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962 and the Rules made there under which clearly provide that drawback should be recovered if sale proceeds have not been realized, it is hereby clarified that provisions contained in para 2.25.1 and 2.25.4 of the HBP v.1 (2009-14) would not be applicable to the Drawback scheme. Hence, 'Drawback' would not be payable in cases where export proceeds have not been realised in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 even if the claim has been settled by ECGC or realisation waived by RBI. Action should be taken for recovery of drawback amount in such cases.

6. A suitable Public Notice and Standing Order may be issued for the guidance of the trade and staff. Difficulties faced, if any, in implementation of the Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board at an early date.
Receipt of the Circular may kindly be acknowledged.

AAR-India-UK DTAA - Applicant is member of E&Y Global - gets access to central resources and also support services from non-resident entity - reimburses costs - Since relationship does not involve any transfer of technical knowhow or skill, it is not covered under either DTAA or I-T Act

THE Applicant is a private limited company, engaged in providing consultancy services. The applicant is a member of Ernst & Young Global which has member entities in various countries. Ernst & Young EMEIA Services Ltd is one of such entities incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. This non-resident entity provides support in various fields, and the costs incurred are allocated to all EY members and they reimburse it - whether the payments made by the applicant are fees for technical services under Article 13 of the DTAA. Whether the sum receivable by the Ernst & Young EMEIA Services Ltd are fees for technical services u/s 9(1)(vii) of the I-T Act.
Matrix of facts

Ernst & Young EMEIA Services provides support in various fields such as Area, Global and Market Development etc. to all the member entities of the EY organization so that they may gain access to standardized human, financial and other resources to ensure that consistent, high quality professional services are provided to the client base of all members of the EY organization. EMEIA, inter alia, provides Area Services, Market Development Support Services and Global Services as detailed in the Schedule to the Area Services and Market Development Agreement. Such support is provided from UK and it does not have any Permanent Establishment or fixed base in India. The terms and conditions under which all EY member entities would get such support from EMEIA are documented in the form of the Area Services and Market Development Agreement (for short, 'the Agreement') which has been filed. Under the Agreement, costs incurred for providing the services are allocated to EY member entities and they reimburse such costs to EMEIA, UK.

EMEIA does not earn any income from providing access to centralized Ernst & Young resources, facilities and services. The cost allocation is done in accordance with agreed formula. The applicant states that the payment is made by way of reimbursement of the cost incurred on behalf of the applicant company by EMEIA.

The applicant seeks advance ruling on
(1) Whether the amount payable by the applicant in accordance with the agreement entered into with Ernst & Young (EMEIA) Services Limited is chargeable to tax in India under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') and Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and UK?
(2) Whether the amount receivable by Ernst & Young (EMEIA) Services Limited from Ernst & Young (P) Ltd., inter alia, on account of Area Services, Market Development Support Services and Global Services as detailed in the Schedule to the Area Services and Market Development Agreement is chargeable to tax in India as "fees for technical services" under section 9(1)(vii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Applicant argues that the amount received by EMEIA for Services rendered in terms of the Agreement with the applicant company is not 'fees for technical services' as per Article 13 of the DTAA between India and U.K. Though it gives rise to business profit for the reason that EMEIA is in the business of providing access to central resources and services to various member entities, in the absence of permanent establishment of EMEIA in India, the receipt is not taxable in India by virtue of the provisions in Article 7 of the DTAA.
Having heard the parties the Authority observes that,
" Some of the services enumerated above have the flavour of management services. Services of managerial nature are not included within Article 13 unlike many other treaties. Only technical and consultancy services are included. Many of them do answer that description.
" However, the more important question is whether EMEIA, U.K. has made available to the applicant any technical knowledge, experience, skills or know-how by providing the 'support services'. That question admits only of an answer in the negative. What all is provided by EMEIA is informations on various business and commercial matters, guidelines, templates, best practices and strategies that could be adopted in various spheres of their business which ultimately lead to protection of EY image and client relations. Dissemination of informations, furnishing guidelines and suggesting plans of action aimed at uniformity and seamless quality in business dealings of participating group entities do not per se amount to making available to them technical knowledge and experience possessed by EMEIA to a substantial extent.
" There is no transfer of technical know-how in that process nor can it be said that the recipient of these coordinated/centralized services has been enabled to apply the technology which EMEIA is possessed of. In fact, EMEIA has not developed any technology of its own nor does it innovate anything.
" Both the questions are answered in the negative and it is ruled that the amounts receivable by Ernst and Young EMEIA Services Ltd. from the applicant under the Agreement are not liable to be taxed under the Income Tax Act as fee for 'included services' or as business profits, having regard to the provisions of DTAA between India and UK.
" However, the Income-tax authorities are not precluded from making inquiry into the question whether the cost contribution is fixed on arm's length basis and such determination can be made in the assessment proceeding of the applicant.

++ some of the services enumerated above have the flavour of management services. Services of managerial nature are not included within Article 13 unlike many other treaties. Only technical and consultancy services are included. Many of them do answer that description.
++ However, the more important question is whether EMEIA, U.K. has made available to the applicant any technical knowledge, experience, skills or know-how by providing the 'support services'. That question admits only of an answer in the negative. What all is provided by EMEIA is informations on various business and commercial matters, guidelines, templates, best practices and strategies that could be adopted in various spheres of their business which ultimately lead to protection of EY image and client relations. Dissemination of informations, furnishing guidelines and suggesting plans of action aimed at uniformity and seamless quality in business dealings of participating group entities do not per se amount to making available to them technical knowledge and experience possessed by EMEIA to a substantial extent.
++ There is no transfer of technical know-how in that process nor can it be said that the recipient of these coordinated/centralized services has been enabled to apply the technology which EMEIA is possessed of. In fact, EMEIA has not developed any technology of its own nor does it innovate anything.
++ Both the questions are answered in the negative and it is ruled that the amounts receivable by Ernst and Young EMEIA Services Ltd. from the applicant under the Agreement are not liable to be taxed under the Income Tax Act as fee for 'included services' or as business profits, having regard to the provisions of DTAA between India and UK.
++ However, the Income-tax authorities are not precluded from making inquiry into the question whether the cost contribution is fixed on arm's length basis and such determination can be made in the assessment proceeding of the applicant.

Anapharm Inc. in re
Both questions are answered in the negative in favour of the applicant.

RULING
1. The applicant, Ernst & Young Private Ltd. (EYPL) is a company incorporated in India and is engaged in providing consultancy services (such as chartered accountancy and management studies). The applicant is one of the member entities of Ernst & Young Global (EYG). EYG has such member entities in various countries. All member entities (including EYPL) use the brand 'Ernst & young' (EY) and adopt the international practices followed by the EY organization worldwide for providing consultancy services to their clients. Such membership enables the member companies to co-operate, collaborate and work closely together to achieve the provision of seamless, consistent, high-quality client service within the Area.

1.1. Ernst & Young (EMEIA) Services Limited is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. This Company has been formed specifically to facilitate the objective of providing support in various fields such as Area, Global and Market Development etc. to all the member entities of the EY organization so that they may gain access to standardized human, financial and other resources to ensure that consistent, high quality professional services are provided to the client base of all members of the EY organization. EMEIA, inter alia, provides Area Services, Market Development Support Services and Global Services as detailed in the Schedule to the Area Services and Market Development Agreement. Such support is provided from UK and it does not have any Permanent Establishment or fixed base in India. The terms and conditions under which all EY member entities would get such support from EMEIA are documented in the form of the Area Services and Market Development Agreement (for short, 'the Agreement') which has been filed. Under the Agreement, costs incurred for providing the services are allocated to EY member entities and they reimburse such costs to EMEIA, UK.
1

.2. It is submitted that EMEIA does not earn any income from providing access to centralized Ernst & Young resources, facilities and services. The cost allocation is done in accordance with agreed formula. The applicant states that the payment is made by way of reimbursement of the cost incurred on behalf of the applicant company by EMEIA.
2. The following questions (as revised) are raised by the applicant for the purpose of advance ruling:
(1) Whether the amount payable by the applicant in accordance with the agreement entered into with Ernst & Young (EMEIA) Services Limited is chargeable to tax in India under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act') and Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and UK?
(2) Whether the amount receivable by Ernst & Young (EMEIA) Services Limited from Ernst & Young (P) Ltd., inter alia, on account of Area Services, Market Development Support Services and Global Services as detailed in the Schedule to the Area Services and Market Development Agreement is chargeable to tax in India as "fees for technical services" under section 9(1)(vii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

3. The applicant contends that the amount received by EMEIA for Services rendered in terms of the Agreement dated 5th May, 2009 with the applicant company is not 'fees for technical services' as per Article 13 of the DTAA (Tax Treaty) between India and U.K. Though it gives rise to business profit for the reason that EMEIA is in the business of providing access to central resources and services to various member entities, in the absence of permanent establishment of EMEIA in India, the receipt is not taxable in India by virtue of the provisions in Article 7 of the DTAA.

4. The term 'fees for technical services' is defined in para 4 of Article 13 to mean "payment of any kind in consideration for the rendering of any technical or consultancy services (including the provision of services of technical or other personnel) which : ……………….. (c) make available technical knowledge, experience, skills, know-how or processes or consist of the development and transfer of a technical plan or technical design". The definition of "fees for included services" in the India-USA Treaty bears the same wordings. In the MOU reached between the Governments of India and USA concerning "fees for included services" (Article 12), the import and connotation of the first part of definition in clause (b) of para 4 i.e. "make available" technical knowledge, experience etc. has been explained. The MOU clarifies that technology will be considered 'made available' when the person acquiring the service is enabled to apply the technology. The MOU further clarifies that the fact that the provision of the service may require technical input by the person providing the service does not per se mean that technical knowledge, skills, etc. are made available to the person paying for the service.

5. It is the contention of the applicant that the services rendered to the applicant by EMEIA does not satisfy the test of 'make available' under Article 13 of the DTAA as they do not result in transfer of any technical know-how, technical plan/design, though some of the services broadly answer the description of consultancy or technical services. The applicant submits that the work of EMEIA is confined to providing support and access to central resources for developing business strategies and plans at Area level, providing support in implementation of Priority Account Strategies and Industry Sector Strategies, knowledge Management and Sharing, Market Development Support, Assistance in the implementation and monitoring of common standards, policies and tools, Assistance in Recruitment and training and retention of operating Global methodologies and applications and procuring on a centralized basis goods and services.

5.1 In the course of arguments, the learned counsel for the applicant while reiterating the above contentions of the applicant, submitted that EMEIA does not create any system or technology nor does it make its contribution by refining or improving on it. It merely gathers and collates the information from the systems already available and place them before the members entities who have entered into agreement for their guidance and implementation. The idea is to maintain uniformity in practices and approaches in business among the E&Y Group entities by providing the requisite templates, power points, accounting practices etc. EMEIA serves as a common platform for globalizing the standards and ensuring uniformity in practices and systems. The total expenditure will be shared by all the entities. The nature of services listed in the Agreement would clearly indicate that no technical knowledge, experience, skills or know-how is being made available by EMEIA to the member entities.

5.2 The learned counsel has drawn our attention to the passages in the recent ruling of this Authority in Intertek Testing 307 ITR 418 at p.432 ,which are extracted below:
"Rendering technical or consultancy service is followed by a relative pronoun "which" and it has the effect of qualifying the services. That means, the technical or consultancy service rendered should be of such a nature that "makes available" to the recipient technical knowledge, know-how and the like. The service should be aimed at and result in transmitting the technical knowledge, etc., so that the payer of service could derive an enduring benefit and utilize the knowledge or know-how in future on his own without the aid of the service provider. By making available the technical skills or know-how, the recipient of the service will get equipped with that knowledge or expertise and be able to make use of it in future, independent of the service provider. In other words, to fit into the terminology "make available", the technical knowledge, skills, etc., must remain with the person receiving the services even after the particular contract comes to an end. The services offered may be the product of intense technological effort and a lot of technical knowledge and experience of the service provider would have gone into it. But that is not enough to fall within the description of services which make available the technical knowledge, etc. The technical knowledge or skills of the provider should be imparted to and absorbed by the receiver so that the receiver can deploy similar technology or techniques in future without depending on the provider."
In the case of Anapharm Inc. in re 304 ITR 394 ,this Authority observed:
It is, thus, fairly clear that mere provision of technical services is not enough to attract article 12(4)(b). It additionally requires that the service provider should also make his technical knowledge, experience, skill, know-how, etc. known to the recipient of the service so as to equip him to independently perform the technical function himself in future, without the help of the service provider. In other words, payment of consideration would be regarded as "fee for technical/included services" only if the twin tests of rendering services and making technical knowledge available at the same time is satisfied."

6. Looking at the list of services enumerated in the Agreement, it appears to us that the criterion laid down in para 4(c) of Article 13 (of UK Treaty) is not satisfied. The Agreement contains an elaborate preamble explaining the underlying objective of the Agreement. There are two types of services categorized in the schedule; they are area services and global services. Both of them almost overlap. Global services are more relevant for the purposes of this case. The applicant's counsel has taken us through the global services and broadly explained the scope of each service. The learned counsel at the outset pointed out some inaccuracy in the definition of 'global services' because it refers to the services set out in the EYGSLLP Management Services Agreement. The learned counsel has stated that the global services are enumerated in a self-contained Schedule to the relevant agreement i.e. Area Services and Market Development Agreement and, therefore, the reference to some other earlier agreement is not appropriate. In any case, the learned counsel has clarified that practically, there is no difference between the services mentioned in both these agreements and if at all the enumeration in the present agreement is more comprehensive. A chart containing comparative analysis of these two agreements has been furnished to clarify this point.

7. We have looked into the global services detailed in the schedule to the Agreement with which we are concerned. We shall refer to them (14 in number) in brief one by one:

The various services rendered are : Analysis on focus markets, competitive intelligence within a particular sector /country.
The purpose of above services is stated to be to respond better to moves from competitors and stay better informed on the sectors and to provide higher quality service to clients.
8. First of all, some of the services enumerated above have the flavour of management services. Services of managerial nature are not included within Article 13 unlike many other treaties. Only technical and consultancy services are included. Many of them do answer that description. However, the more important question is whether EMEIA, U.K. has made available to the applicant any technical knowledge, experience, skills or know-how by providing the 'support services' noted above. In our view, that question admits only of an answer in the negative. What all is provided by EMEIA is informations on various business and commercial matters, guidelines, templates, best practices and strategies that could be adopted in various spheres of their business which ultimately lead to protection of EY image and client relations. Dissemination of informations, furnishing guidelines and suggesting plans of action aimed at uniformity and seamless quality in business dealings of participating group entities do not per se amount to making available to them technical knowledge and experience possessed by EMEIA to a substantial extent. There is no transfer of technical know-how in that process nor can it be said that the recipient of these coordinated/centralized services has been enabled to apply the technology which EMEIA is possessed of. In fact, EMEIA has not developed any technology of its own nor does it innovate anything.
9. In the light of above discussion, the questions are answered as follows:
Both the questions are answered in the negative and it is ruled that the amounts receivable by Ernst and Young EMEIA Services Ltd. from the applicant under the Agreement are not liable to be taxed under the Income Tax Act as fee for 'included services' or as business profits, having regard to the provisions of DTAA between India and UK. However, the Income-tax authorities are not precluded from making inquiry into the question whether the cost contribution is fixed on arm's length basis and such determination can be made in the assessment proceeding of the applicant.
Accordingly, ruling is given and pronounced on this the 19th day of March 2010.
AAR-India-USA DTAA - Applicant proposes to enter into agreement with non-resident for architectural design services - Article 12.4 - At every stage, starting from conceptual stage till construction, applicant looks for services and expert's advice - it is not a sale of design - payments liable to tax in India
Applicant is a real estate company. It proposes to construct an international quality commercial office/hotel complex in Gurgaon. The applicant enters into an Agreement with a non-resident limited partnership for provision of Architectural design services. The agreement also provides for appointment of a local Architect as associate Architect - Whether the payments made to non-resident are for outright sale of designs. whether the payments are fees for included services. Whether the payments made to the associated artichect but received by the second party in the agreement is taxable as per Article 12.4 in India.
Facts of the case
As per agreement, the Payments to the local associate Architect are to be made separately and are not under consideration in the application. As per the agreement, both, HOK - the Architect and RSP - the Associate Architect, have been retained "to work jointly and on a cooperative basis in order to perform the entire design, construction documents and construction administration for the Project, each responsible for its share of work but jointly responsible in providing the entire design, construction documents and construction administration service necessary to complete the Project. There is also a provision for rendering additional services not otherwise included in the Agreement or not customarily furnished as per the prevailing architectural practices. For such additional services, additional payment has to be made according to an agreed formula. Reimbursable expenses are also specified in the Agreement.
Applicant seeks advance rulings on
(a) Whether consideration payable for sale of designs is taxable under the DTAA in view of the fact that the US entity has no permanent establishment in India?
(b) Whether payment of fees for technical advisory services to HMS/Indian Associate Architects during the Phase-2 of the Project is taxable under the Art.12(4) of the Treaty even though it is to be excluded from "included services" under Art.12(5)(a) of the Treaty?
(c) Whether fees for supervisory/advisory services during the Construction Administration phase is taxable under Art. 12(4) of the Treaty and, if so, would such fees attract tax at the rate of ten per cent as prescribed in S.115A of the Act?"
d) Whether reimbursement of expenses actually incurred by the US entity without any mark up is subject to provisions of section 195 of the Act?
Having heard the parties the Authority has held that,
" At every stage starting from the conceptual stage till construction, the applicant looks for the services and expert advice of HOK. HOK acts in close collaboration with the Owner (applicant), the associate Architect and the Consultant. Bi-weekly meetings through teleconferencing are regularly held. The applicant's role in the project is all-pervasive. The applicant does not go out of picture once the so-called sale of drawings and designs take place nor can it be said on a reasonable basis that everything else done or performed by HOK is merely incidental or subordinate to the transfer of plans, drawings and designs.
" The fact that there is separate specification of price for convenience of payments and adhering to schedules or that a major portion of the amount is payable at the design development stage is not conclusive. having regard to the scope, objective and predominant features of the Agreement, the HOK must be said to have received payment ('compensation') in the nature of FTS or included services within the meaning of clause (b) of Article 12.4 of the Treaty, irrespective of whether 'royalty' clause is attracted or not.
" The remittances to HOK for the purpose of making payments to Consultants under the Agreement can also fall under Article 12(4) (b) as they also render architectural services. However, since HOK is not the beneficiary of the said payments and they are to be passed on to the consultant in USA for the services rendered outside India such payments will not attract tax liability under the Income-tax Act in India.
" But, it is made clear that the actual payments made to the consultant can be verified by the department and, if any, adverse material comes to light, appropriate steps according to law can be taken. On the facts presented by the applicant, AAR held that the receipts by HOK on account of consultancy fee payable to consultants in USA on actual basis will not give rise to taxable income in India. So also, the payments made towards the other reimbursable expenses cannot be considered to be income falling under Article 12. However, they are also subject to verification.

3. The above scope of work under the Agreement has been summarized by the applicant as follows :
a) Development of program and master plan concept Design;
]b) Development of Schematic design concepts;
c) Preparation of Design Development drawings;
d) Coordination and drawing review of documents;
e) Assisting the owner in bidding and contractor selection process;
f) Observing construction progress;
g) Review of cost saving and alternative proposals; and
h) Additional services as may be required.
3.1. In respect of the above items of work, HOK is entitled to a fixed fee (net of taxes) as per cl V of the Agreement on submission of monthly invoices and the fee will be received by HOK in US dollars outside India. It is pointed out that items (a) to (c) above which broadly fall under the first phase lead to finalization of designs and drawings. Item (d) which relates to construction documents is the second stage. Items (e) to (g), it is stated, comes under the third stage i.e. technical consultancy and supervisory services. It is conceded by the learned counsel for the applicant that as far as the payments received by HOK in the third stage during construction are liable to be taxed as 'FTS' ('fees for technical services').
3.2. The Agreement contemplates the retention by the Architect of consultants specialized in various fields who shall participate in the design of project. The selection of consultants by the architect is subject to the approval of the owner. Cl VII B provides : "the architect shall be responsible for contracting with the international or US based consultants and shall coordinate all design activities of said consultants. Compensation for the professional services rendered by each of the consultants shall be paid directly to each consultant of the architect." It is stated that the consultants in US have been engaged in terms of this clause.
3.3. Clause V deals with 'Compensation' which is nothing but fee payable to the Architect. It is stipulated that the architect shall receive as compensation for all basic services the fixed price sum (excluding local taxes) of 2,114,000 US dollars based on a building size of 1,300,000 sq.ft. payable in response to monthly invoices based upon the amount of basic services and additional services. The counsel for the applicant has clarified that the applicant has to bear the taxes and pay TDS. The break-up of the stipulated fee of 2,114,000 US dollars is given as follows :
Project Phase Amount in USD (Original Agreement)
Master/Concept Design 275,000
Schematic Design 449,000
Design Development 542,000
Construction Document 375,000
Construction Administration 473,000
Total 2,114,000
3.4. As per the amendment to the Agreement, a further amount of Rs.1,508,000 is payable at various stages which is by way of reimbursement of 'compensation' payable to the consultants in USA. Thus, the total consideration payable under the contract is 3,622,000. The applicant states that the aforesaid functions except construction administration are performed from outside India. The designs and drawings are transferred electronically to the applicant and ownership therein vests in the applicant. Development of designs is carried out by means of bi-weekly teleconferencing and video conferencing. For the purpose of developing the designs, HOK will engage specialist consultants outside India. After the delivery of designs, the preparation of detailed construction documents will take place in India by the Indian Architect in consultation with HOK. HOK, it is stated, will provide advisory for preparation of construction documents.
3.5. It is stated that the employees of HOK have come to India for a maximum period of 50 days for providing supervisory services. The applicant states that the completion of the project is likely to take three years.
3.6. In the course of hearing, the applicant furnished an Event Summary Chart starting from October 2008 in which the details of visits of HOK personnel are set out. It is mentioned therein that the schematic design and design development work has already been completed. The applicant has also furnished a note on certain aspects relating to preparation of Designs and Delivery.
4. The case of the applicant as set out in Annexure-II is as follows :
"The designs and drawings developed by the non resident recipient are sold to applicant; therefore the receipts arising to the non-resident are in the nature of business profits. Since, the recipient does not have any permanent establishment in India, the receipts cannot be taxed as business profits. The receipts also are not taxable as 'royalty' as defined in section 9(1)(vi) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and also under Article 13 of Indo-US DTAA as the said transaction involves outright sale of designs and the property in these goods vest in the applicant. This sum is also not taxable as 'fee for technical services' in terms of section 9(1)(vii)(b) of the Income-tax Ac, 1961 for the reason that the recipient has used its technical expertise for preparing and selling chattels, which are designs. This being a case of sale, there could be no question of transfer of use or right to use any plant or equipment."
4.1. Learned counsel for the applicant has reiterated the stand taken in the application. It is contended that the Agreement can be disintegrated into three parts; (a) for development and sale of designs (b) consultancy for construction documents and (c) 'Construction administration' and 'Additional services'. It is submitted that separate price is identified for each of these items and activities. If so viewed, only the payment received at the stage of construction administration in relation to services which are basically performed in India during the phase of construction are liable to be taxed as fees for included services at the percentage of rate provided for in Section 115A(1)(b)/BB of the IT Act, according to the counsel. The learned counsel for the applicant has strenuously contended that if the contract has to be viewed as a composite one without disintegrating it, the dominant nature and object of the contract has to be looked into. If so, it is nothing but outright sale of designs and technical documents delivered through website from outside India and on such delivery, the applicant becomes the owner as the entirety of rights over those designs have been conveyed to the applicant. Therefore it is submitted that the payments made to HOK (excepting those at the 'construction administration phase') do not fall within the definition of royalty under Art.12(3)(a) of the India-US DTAA. For the same reason, it is submitted that they do not fall under 'fees for included (technical) services' within the meaning of Art.12(4) of the India-US DTAA. Even if they are treated as 'business profits accruing or arising in India, the same cannot be subjected to tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961 in the absence of Permanent Establishment(PE), having regard to the Treaty provision in Art.7(1). As the number of days of presence of HOK employees in India will be much less than the prescribed number of days, a service PE cannot be inferred, submits the counsel.
4.2. The applicant's counsel has in particular drawn our attention to Clause VIII of the Agreement which bears the heading "Copyright Assignment and Ownership of Documents".
"Architect hereby acknowledges and confirms the intention of Architect to convey all right, title and interest it may have in and to all drawings, specifications, models, renderings and work product, excluding the Preexisting Materials, prepared in connection with the Project ("Products of Service"), including, without limitation, the copyrights and any copyright registrations issued therefor, to Owner. Architect does hereby sell, assign and transfer of owner, its successors, assigns and legal representatives, for the United States of America and throughout the world, all right, title and interest it may have in and to the Products of Service, including the copyrights and any copy right registrations issued therefor, the rights to prepare derivative works, the right to apply for copyright registration and future renewals or extensions of copyright terms, and the right to sue for copyright infringement, whether occurring in the past, present or future."
4.3. The last para of the same clause provides that on termination of the Agreement by the owner or on payment by owner to the Architect of all sums due, all drawings, specifications, models and work product prepared in connection with the project shall become the property of the owner. "Nevertheless, it is understood by the owner that all such drawings etc. may be in appropriate for use in any other project." Reference has also been made to Clause XIX which says that Architect shall not use or disclose confidential information without owner's prior written approval.
5. Before proceeding further, we may refer to Art.12 of the Tax Treaty (DTAA).
Article 12 - Royalties and fees for included services
1. Royalties and fees for included services arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.
2. However, such royalties and fees for included services may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties or fees for included services is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:
(a) in the case of royalties referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph 3 and fees for included services as defined in this Article [other than services described in sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph]:
(i) during the first five taxable years for which this Convention has effect,
xx xx xx xx xx
(ii) during the subsequent years, 15 per cent of the gross amount of royalties or fees for included services; and
(b) in the case of royalties referred to in sub-para (b) of paragraph 3 and fees for included services as defined in this Article that are ancillary and subsidiary to the enjoyment of the property for which payment is received under paragraph 3(b) of this Article, 10 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties or fees for included services.
3. The term "royalties" as used in this Article means:
(a) payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any copyright of a literary, artistic, or scientific work, including cinematograph films or work on film, tape or other means of reproduction for use in connection with radio or television broadcasting, any patent, trade mark, design or model, plan secret formula or process, or for information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience, including gains derived from the alienation of any such right or property which are contingent on the productivity, use or disposition thereof; and
(b) payments of any kind received as consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any industrial, commercial or scientific equipment other than payments derived by an enterprise described in paragraph 1 of Article 8 (Shipping and Air Transport) from activities described in paragraph 2 (c ) or 3 of Article 8.
4. For the purposes of this Article, "fees for included services" means payments of any kind to any person in consideration for the rendering of any technical or consultancy services (including through the provision of services of technical or other personnel) if such services:

(a) are ancillary and subsidiary to the application or enjoyment of the right, property or information for which a payment described in paragraph 3 is received; or
(b) make available technical knowledge, experience, skill, know-how, or processes, or consist of the development and transfer of a technical plan or technical design.
6. As noted earlier, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that HOK has sold the designs and the property including copyright has wholly passed to the applicant and, therefore, it cannot be said that the consideration has been paid to HOK for permitting the use or right to use the design, model or plan. It is pointed out that once the designs and drawings relating to the project are delivered to the applicant by posting them on the project Web through the 'servers' located in USA the applicant becomes the absolute owner thereof and the HOK is barred for making use of them for its own purpose. The payment for the designs etc. is received once and for all and the payment is not contingent on the productivity use or further alienation thereof as contemplated in the second part of clause (a) of Article 12(3).
7. We are unable to appreciate the contention of the learned counsel for the applicant that on the basis of clause VIII of the Agreement conveying the right, title and interest the Architect has in the drawings, specifications, models and work product (which are described as 'products of services'), the transaction has to be regarded as one of sale of designs. The Agreement cannot be read in isolation and the components of the contract cannot be placed in water-tight components. The agreement shall be read as a whole. The approach should be to ascertain what is the true scope and dominant object of the contract. One should take stock of the predominant features of the contract. The learned counsel for the applicant, in fact, does not suggest that a different approach has to be adopted. We have to take a holistic view in considering the agreement without being carried away by the apparent tenor of some of the clauses in the Agreement. For instance, clause (VIII) on which utmost reliance is placed shall be considered in the context of and in conformity with the spirit of the entire Agreement. Viewed from that angle, can it be said, as the applicant seeks to contend, that the crux and substance of the contract is the sale of designs and drawings and the basic services enumerated in the Agreement are only incidental to the sale or the inference should be the other way i.e. the transfer of designs being part of a package of architectural services undertaken by HOK under the contract? We are inclined to think that the reasonable view to take, on an appreciation of the Agreement in its entirety, is to adopt and affirm the second line of approach indicated above. By taking the view that the essence of the transaction is the sale of designs, models and plans and everything else is incidental thereto is to distort and stultify the true nature and dominant purpose of the contract. The Agreement is in reality nothing different from what is described in the opening sentence i.e. "design and consultancy services". The Architect while performing such services, will participate with and assist the owner "in developing and refining the general project concept. The architect will develop the detailed programme for the project based on in depth interviews with the Owner and others". We have already referred to the various responsibilities to be discharged and the steps to be taken by the Architect which are detailed in clause IV. At every stage starting from the conceptual stage till construction, the applicant looks for the services and expert advice of HOK. HOK acts in close collaboration with the Owner (applicant), the associate Architect and the Consultant. Bi-weekly meetings through teleconferencing are regularly held. The applicant's role in the project is all-pervasive. The applicant does not go out of picture once the so-called sale of drawings and designs take place nor can it be said on a reasonable basis that everything else done or performed by HOK is merely incidental or subordinate to the transfer of plans, drawings and designs. The fact that there is separate specification of price for convenience of payments and adhering to schedules or that a major portion of the amount is payable at the design development stage is not conclusive. We are of the view that having regard to the scope, objective and predominant features of the Agreement, the HOK must be said to have received payment ('compensation') in the nature of FTS or included services within the meaning of clause (b) of Article 12.4 of the Treaty, irrespective of whether 'royalty' clause is attracted or not. In this context, we may refer to the relevant comments in the Memorandum of Understanding concerning fees for included services under Article 12 which is arrived at between the Goverments of India and USA on 15th May, 1989. It is stated that typical categories of services that generally involve either the development and transfer of technical plans or technical designs or making technology available as described in para 4(b), include architectural services. The scope of 4(b) of Article 12 has been explained, thus:
"This category is narrower than the category described in paragraph 4(a) because it excludes any service that does not make technology available to the person acquiring the service. Generally speaking, technology will be considered "made available" when the person acquiring the service is enabled to apply the technology. The fact that the provision of the service may require technical input by the person providing the service does not per se mean that technical knowledge, skills, etc., are made available to the person purchasing the service, within the meaning of paragraph (b). Similarly, the use of a product which embodies technology shall not per se be considered to make the technology available."
7.1. It is significant to note that the latter part of clause (b) of para 4 speaks of "development and transfer of a technical plan or technical design. This limb of clause (b) is squarely attracted to the present case because technical services rendered by HOK resulted in the development and transfer of technical plan and design to the applicant. If an out-right transfer of a design or plan for consideration has to be treated as an independent transaction unrelated to the services, the scope of latter part of clause (b) will be considerably diluted and the very purpose for which the said words were included in the definition of FTS will be defeated. In one sense, there could a transfer of designs and in another sense the development and transfer of technical plan/design can be viewed as a sequel to and integral part of the services undertaken by HOK. In the present case, clause (b) of para 4 is attracted having regard to the true nature and purport of the Agreement. The architectural services rendered by HOK can also be brought within the fold of the first part of clause (b) starting with the expression "make available". However, it is unnecessary to express a final view in the matter. We would also not like to express an opinion on the question whether the consideration attributable to the transfer of designs and plans can be brought within the scope of the clause - "payment received for information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience" occurring in the definition of 'royalty' vide Article 12.3(a). According to the OECD commentary, this term alludes to the concept of know-how and information that is not publicly available. The fact that there was sale of designs may not preclude the application of this limb of 'royalty' definition. Suffice it to say that it is a moot point and it is unnecessary for us to express a view on this aspect.
8. We are, therefore, of the view that basic(design) services which include preparation of Master Plan, concept design, schematic design, design development and construction documents, assistance in bidding and contractors' selection process and consultancy during construction phase are all part of architectural services undertaken the HOK as per the Agreement and the payment received by HOK for furnishing all these documents and services to the applicant fall appropriately within the meaning of 'fees for included services' under Article 12.4(b) of the India-US Treaty. They cannot be disintegrated and viewed in water-tight compartments. We reject the contention of the applicant that the payments attributable to the sale of designs, plans and other construction documents cannot be subjected to tax in India as they do not fall within the purview of Article 12 of the Treaty.
9. The learned counsel for the applicant has relied on the decision of Division Bench of Calcutta High Court in CIT vs. Davy Ashmore India Ltd 190 ITR 626 .That was a case in which the assessee arranged for the import of concept designs and drawings from U.K. on the strength of import licence for the purpose of enabling the purchaser to make use of them in the preparation of detailed manufacturing drawings. The question arose whether the payment made to the foreign company which supplied the designs was 'royalty' and to be taxed under the Income-tax Act, 1961. The learned judges held that it was a case of sale and no royalty was generated. The following passage is relevant:
"Having regard to the facts and circumstances of this case, it must be held that the present case is not a case where the non-resident is retaining the property in the designs and drawings. Such designs and drawings are imported under the import policy and with the approval of the Reserve Bank of India on the basis of the letter of intent. The importation of the designs and drawings postulates an out and out transfer or sale of such designs and drawings and the non-resident company does not retain any property in them leaving the grantee to use or exploit them. The consideration paid for transfer, therefore, cannot be treated as royalty falling under article XIII of the Agreement for Avoidance of Double Taxation between India and the U.K. The consideration paid is for an outright transfer of the drawings and designs by the non-resident company and such consideration cannot be termed as royalty."
9.1. That case is distinguishable for more than one reason. Firstly, whether the payment was within the scope of 'fees for technical services' was not considered. Secondly, that was not a case of rendering any service. Out-right transfer of drawings and designs which were required by the Purchaser for the purpose of preparing detailed manufacturing drawings of Cold Rolling Mill was involved in that case. It was a stand alone transaction unconnected with any service. Moreover, it does not appear to be a case of tailor-made designs and drawings. Those which were available with U.K. company were sold out to the Indian buyer.
10. The learned counsel for the applicant has also drawn our attention to a recent ruling of this Authority in International Tyre Engineering Resources. In re: reported in 319 ITR 228. Reliance is placed on para 15 in which the item relating to transfer of ownership of tread and side-wall design was considered. It was held that the ownership therein having been transferred absolutely to CEAT Ltd., the consideration paid cannot be brought within the scope of Article 12.3 of the Treaty.
10.1. In that case the transfer of know-how of technology for the manufacture of radial tyres and the transfer of ownership of tread and side wall design were dealt with separately in the Agreement. The tread and side wall design was distinct from that part of the agreement which related to transfer of know-how. It was specifically observed in para 15 that this part of the transaction cannot be viewed to be merely incidental to the conferment of right to use the know-how granted under clause (2) of the Agreement. Therefore, the factual position was different in that case. On the other hand, the contention that even in respect of first part of the agreement (i.e transfer of technical know-how), there was sale of technical documentation and such sale having taken place outside India was not liable to be taxed under the Income-tax Act was rejected. The following observations in para 9.1. are pertinent:
"Assuming that there was sale of technical documentation, that is not the end of the matter. Such sale is, in reality and in substance, incidental to the grant of right to use the know- how in various ways specified in clause 2.1. The transfer of technical documentation was only a step in aid for making the technical know-how available to the transferee CEAT."
10.2. This reasoning is equally applicable here. The said ruling far from supporting the applicant's case, goes against the applicant's contention.
11. There is one more point to be considered i.e. about the payments made to consultants in USA. The remittances to HOK for the purpose of making payments to Consultants under the Agreement can also fall under Article 12(4) (b) as they also render architectural services. However, since HOK is not the beneficiary of the said payments and they are to be passed on to the consultant in USA for the services rendered outside India such payments will not attract tax liability under the Income-tax Act in India. But, it is made clear that the actual payments made to the consultant can be verified by the department and, if any, adverse material comes to light, appropriate steps according to law can be taken. On the facts presented by the applicant, we must hold that the receipts by HOK on account of consultancy fee payable to consultants in USA on actual basis will not give rise to taxable income in India. So also, the payments made towards the other reimbursable expenses cannot be considered to be income falling under Article 12. However, they are also subject to verification.
12. In the result, the questions are answered as follows:
Question No.1
This question is too general in nature. However, it is answered by stating that the Agreement is to be viewed as a whole and the three components of the contract (referred to in the question) cannot be considered in water-tight compartments.
Question No.2:
The preface to the question - "if the answer to question no. 1 is in the affirmative" is deleted as it would be inappropriate.
Paras (a), (b) and (c) of the question no.2 are answered together as follows:
The entire consideration receivable by HOK from the applicant is liable to be taxed in India 'as fees for included services' as per Article 12.4 of the Tax Treaty. However, as stated in para 11, the amount payable as consultancy fees to the consultants in USA has to be excluded while computing the chargeable income.
As regards the payment of fees for technical advisory services at the construction document stage, it cannot be considered to be ancillary and subsidiary to the sale of property and, therefore, does not get excluded from para 4 of Article 12 by virtue of clause (a) of Article 12.5 of Treaty. As regards payment for "additional services" to HOK, no view is expressed as the details thereof are not available.
The rate of 10 per cent as per Section 115A(1)(b)(BB) is applicable in regard to the taxation of income arising from fees for technical/included services as the said rate is less than the rate specified in the Treaty.
Question No.3:
The question is answered in the affirmative. The payment of amounts to the Architect - HOK by way of reimbursement of expenses actually incurred by it does not constitute chargeable income and withholding tax under section 195 is not necessary.
Accordingly, ruling is given and pronounced on this the 18th day of March 2010.

Policy Circular
No. 26/2009-14
Dated: 17th March 2010

Subject: Import of Ships (Vessels) & other moveable capital goods etc. if imported under SFIS Scheme of FTP and their installation, clarification thereof.

Attention is invited to SFIS Scheme under the FTP 2004-09 & current FTP 2009-14. Trade and Industry has represented that some Customs Authorities are seeking 'Installation Certificate' from the ship owners, and since the import item is a Ship (a moveable capital asset/good), there appears to be some confusion in the minds of Customs Authority (Particularly at Mumbai Sea Ports & Kakinada Sea Port) in this regard, on account of which Customs has stopped allowing use of SFIS for payment of duties on import of ships by the service providers.

2. The matter has been examined in detail. It is clarified that:
The provision relating to disallowing import of 'Vehicle' was introduced in FTP RE2006 (Updated as on 7.4.2006) and applies to SFIS duty credits scrips issued on Foreign Exchange earned during 2005-06 and thereafter, implying that there is no such stipulation for SFIS duty credits scrips issued for Foreign Exchange earned prior to 2005-06 period under the FTP. The intention of this provision is to protect the domestic sector industry of 'motor cars, sports utility vehicles and the likes' and thereby disallows such imports only under SFIS Scheme.
Ships cannot be treated as 'vehicle'. Hence, it is clarified that the import of Ships, a capital good for Shipping Sector, is permitted under the scheme.
Upon imports, Ships are registered with the Director General of Shipping (or Mercantile Marine Board, as the case may be) and only then these vessels are treated as 'Indian Flag vessels'. Ships are moveable capital assets; hence these cannot be installed at one particular location. Thus, the requirement of 'installation certificate' cannot be insisted upon, for such moveable capital assets /goods. Customs Authorities are accordingly not to insist on the 'installation certificate' for moveable capital assets /goods, if imported under the SFIS scheme.

3. This clarification regarding non-requirement of installation certificate shall also apply to EPCG for Service Providers wherein import of moveable capital goods is permitted.

This issues with the approval of the DGFT.

CUSTOMS CIRCULAR
NO.5/2010-Cus.
Dated: March 16, 2010

Sub: Verification Mechanism and monitoring of export obligation under duty exemption - reward Schemes – reg.

I am directed to invite your attention to the above-mentioned subject and to say that, several references have been received, requesting the Board to put in place a verification mechanism in respect of the duty credit scrips issued under Chapter 3 schemes of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) and in respect of the Export Promotion Schemes viz. Advance Authorization / Duty Free Import Authorization (DFIA) / Export Promotion Captial Goods (EPCG) schemes.
2.The matter has been examined by the Board in the light of the conditions specified in the notifications regarding monitoring of export obligation in respect of Advance Authorization / DFIA / EPCG schemes. Board has also considered the reports received from the field formations, which indicated discrepancies found having revenue implications during the verification of the duty credit scrips, issued under Chapter 3 schemes of FTP. Accordingly, it has been decided to put in place the following procedures:-
a) In case of EPCG scheme, the Jurisdictional Customs Authorities at the Port of Import shall ensure that the installation certificates are submitted within 6 months of completion of imports as stipulated in the corresponding customs notifications. The correctness of the installation certificates, which are issued by the Chartered Engineers, shall be verified on a random basis through Central Excise divisions. Further, the EPCG notifications stipulate fulfilment of atleast 50% of export obligation within the first block. This shall be verified in detail. In case the same is found satisfactory, the Export Obligation Discharge Certificate issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) at the end of 2 nd block may be accepted without further verification unless there is a specific intelligence suggesting need for detailed verification.
b) In case of Advance Authorization scheme, the E xport Obligation Discharge Certificate should normally be accepted unless there is an intelligence suggesting misuse.
c) The Jurisdictional Commissioner of Customs may cause random verification for some of the authorizations issued under EPCG / DFIA / Advance Authorization schemes registered at their port to check the correctness of the address shown on the Authorization. This is important, as the EPCG notification requires installation of the capital goods and the Advance Authorisation scheme (and DFIA scheme in some cases) contemplates actual usage of the imported goods. Such verification may be carried out during the validity of the Authorisation and preferably through the Central Excise divisions.
d) Action to safegaurd customs revenue should be initiated in case the authorization holder does not submit the Export Obligation Discharge Certificate within the time period stipulated in the relevant Customs notifications.
e) As regards the duty credit scrips issued under Chapter 3 of FTP, the verification of genuineness of scrips in terms of Para 3.11.3 of the HBP v.1 shall be done before allowing registration of such scrips. Further, the Commissioner may cause random verification of the shpping bills based on which the said duty credit scrip has been issued to ascertain the genuiness of such shipping bills. A quarterly report on the outcome of the said verification may be forwarded to the Board, which should include inter alia the details of the discrepancies noticed during the verification and the measures taken to redress such discrepancies. This procedure will be reviewed once online transmission of the duty credti scrips issued under Chapter 3 of FTP is operationalized.
f) Wherever the Export Obligation Discharge Certificate s issued by DGFT bear the requirement that the Customs department should carry out verification, then such verification should be done. In all cases – EPCG, Advance Authorization, DFIA and Reward Schemes, the Department would retain the right to carry out a complete verification wherever there is specific intelligence available suggesting misuse.
3. The notifications issued under EPCG / Advance Authorization / DFIA schemes provide that the exporter should discharge the export obligation within the specified time period or within such extended period as may be permitted. Further, the notifications issued under EPCG scheme stipulates that in case of non-fulfillment of block-wise export obligation, the importer should pay the proportional duty of unfulfilled portion of export obligation along with specified interest from the date of clearance of the goods and such payment should be made within 3 months from the expiry of said block. Monitoring of export obligation is an integral part of verification mechanism. This would facilitate faster redemption of Bonds / Bank Guarantee executed under the above schemes. In view of above, the Jurisdictional Commissioners of Customs are directed to put suitable systems in place to initiate timely action in all cases of default.
4. The guidelines issued in the past on the subject shall be modified to the above extent.
5. These instructions may be brought to the notice of the trade / exporters by issuing suitable Trade / Public Notices. Suitable Standing orders/instructions may be issued for the guidance of the assessing officers. Difficulties faced, if any, in implementation of the Circular may please be brought to the notice of the Board at an early date.
Receipt of this Circular may kindly be acknowledged.

Powers of Commissioner (Appeals) to remand cases

 
Instructions F.No. 275/34/2006-CX.8A dated 18-2-2010


 

Section 35A(3) of the Central Excise Act, 1944 / Section 128A(3) of the Customs Act, 1962 as it existed before 11.5.2001 provided that Commissioner (Appeals) shall, after making such further enquiry as may be necessary, pass such order, as he thinks just and proper, confirming, modifying or annulling decision or order appealed against or may refer the case back to the adjudicating authority with such direction as he may think fit for a fresh adjudication or decision as the case may be, after taking additional evidence, if necessary.
 
2. An amendment was brought out in the aforesaid sections vide Finance Act, 2001 w.e.f. 11.5.2001 deleting the phrase as mentioned in bold above with an intention to withdraw the powers to Commissioner (Appeals) to remand the cases for fresh adjudication to the original adjudication authorities. After the amendment in 2001, the said Sections read as follows:-
 
“The Commissioner (Appeals) shall, after making such further enquiry as may be necessary, pass such order, as he thinks just and proper, confirming, modifying or annulling the decision or order appealed against.”
 
3. The matter whether the Commissioner (Appeals) continues to have powers to remand beyond 11.5.2001 came up before the Gujarat High Court in the case of M/s. Medico Lab. The Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat, vide order dated21.9.2004 in the case of CCE, Ahmedabad-I Vs. Medico Lab, held that Commissioner(Appeals) continues to have the power to remand even after the amendment.
 
4. Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in the case of CC, Amritsar Vs. M/s. Enkay (India) Rubber Co. Pvt. Ltd. vide order dated 8.3.2007 and in the case of CCE, Jallandhar Vs. B.C. Kataria [2008(221) ELT.508 P&H] vide order dated 6.9.2007 had held that the Commissioner (Appeals) have been divested of the powers to remand the cases back to adjudicating authority after deletion of that power from Section 35A(3) of Central Excise Act vide amendment made in 2001. Hon’ble High Court has distinguished the judgement of the Gujarat High Court in the case of Medico Labs in this case and also stated that the reliance on the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement in the case of Umesh Dhaimonde (1998(98) ELT 584 ) cannot be made as in that case Hon’ble Supreme Court was not dealing with the provisions where earlier power of remand was specifically conferred and subsequently taken away by amendment carried by Finance Act, 2001.
 
5. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgement-dated 1.3.2007 in Civil Appeal No. 6988/2005 in the case of MIL India Ltd. [2007(210) ELT.188 (SC)] has observed that “in fact, the power of remand by the Commissioner (Appeals) has been taken away by amending Section 35A with effect from 11.5.2001 under the Finance Bill, 2001. Under the Notes to clause 122 of the said Bill it is stated that clause 122 seeks to amend Section 35A so as to withdraw the power of the Commissioner (A) to remand matters back to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration.” The said decision of the Supreme Court was brought to the notice of CESTAT in the case of CCE, Jallandhar Vs. Hawkins Cookers Ltd. reported in 2007(8)RLT.7, but the Tribunal held that the Supreme Court in the said case had only noted the provisions of amended law whereas the specific issue whether Commissioner (A) has power to remand after amendment to provisions of Section 35A has been considered by the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in the case of Medico Lab and the High Court has held that the Commissioner (A) has power to remand under the amended provisions also. The appeal (CEA No.29/2008) filed by the Commissioner of Central Excise, Jallandhar against the said order in the Hawkins Cookers case stating that the said observations as quoted above are part of the ratio decidendi of the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, has been allowed by the Punjab & Haryana High Court vide order dated 14.7.2008 relying upon its own judgement in the case of CCE, Jallandhar Vs. B.C. Kataria [2008(221) ELT.508].
 
6. In the light of the observations of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of MIL India Ltd. and the judgement of Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana in the case of M/s. Enkay (India) Rubber Co. Pvt. Ltd., M/s. B.C. Kataria and M/s. Hawkins Cookers Ltd., you are requested to issue suitable instructions to the Commissioners (A) working under your jurisdiction to follow the said judgments strictly. It may also be brought to their notice that Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of MIL India Ltd., while noting that the powers of remand had been taken away, has also categorically stated that the Commissioner (A) continues to exercise the power of adjudicating authority in the matter of assessment and the Commissioner (A) can add or subtract certain items from the order of assessment made by the adjudicating authority and the order of Commissioner (A) could also be treated as an order of assessment. Board instructions dated 25.7.2008 (copy Given BELOW) may be referred in this regard.
 
7. The receipt of this instruction may please be acknowledged. A copy of the instruction issued to the Commissioners(Appeals) under your jurisdiction may also be endorsed to the Board. The issue may also be monitored at your level.

ORDER OF CLARIFICATION MADE BY SHRI RAMENDRA JAKHU,
FINANCIAL COMMISSIONER & PRINCIPAL SECRETARY,
GOVERNMENET OF HARYANA, EXCISE AND TAXATION
DEPARTMENT, UNDER SECTION 56(3) OF THE
HARYANA VALUE ADDED TAX ACT, 2003

Queriest: M/s Haryana State Small Scale (R.I.), Dressing Manufacturing Association, Rohtak
M/s Haryana State Small Scale (R.I.), Dressing Manufacturing Association, Rohtak is a body of dealers and have applied under Section 56(3) of the Haryana VAT Act for clarification as to the rate of tax leviable under Haryana VAT Act on Handloom Bandage, Non-sterilized and un-medicated. The applicant has relied on judgment delivered by Sales Tax Tribunal Hayana in STA No.263 of 1972-73 and orders passed by Jt. ETC(Appeals), particulars of which have not been furnished. Plea of the applicant is that Handloom Bandage, non-sterilized and unmediated are tax free goods being covered under Schedule 'B' of the Haryana VAT Act, 2003. Judgment relied by the applicant has been delivered under the provisions of Punjab General Sales Tax Act, 1948 which was applicable in those times. As to the merits of the case, Non-sterilized and un-medicated handloom bandages are specified goods which are meant for application in specified areas viz for the purposed dressing and hence are not covered under relevant entry of Schedule 'B' viz entry 51 of the Haryana VAT Act which provides for exemption of VAT on all varieties of cotton, woolen or silken textiles including rayon, artificial silk or nylon but not including such carpets, druggets, woolen durees, cotton floor durrees, rugs and all varieties of dryer felts on which additional Excise Duty in lieu of sales tax is not levied. Moreover, as per Central Excise Tariff of India bandages are covered under tariff item 3005 9040 of chapter 30 pertaining to Pharmaceutical Products viz Wadding, gauze, bandages and similar articles (for example, dressings, adhesive plasters, poultices), impregnated or coated with pharmaceutical substances or put up in forms or packings for retail sale for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary purposes. From the description of goods given in the aforesaid tariff item it is more than clear that the even non-sterilized and un-medicated bandages put up in forms or packings for retail sale for medical or surgical purposes are covered under the pharmaceutical products and hence attract VAT at the rate leviable on pharmaceutical products. Further, Dressings are included in entry 25 of Schedule 'C' which includes Bulk drugs, drugs, medicines, vaccines, medicated ointments produced under drug licence, light liquid paraffin of IP grade, syringes, dressings, glucose-D, oral re-hydration salt, medical equipments/devises and implants. It is not necessary that dressings should be sterilized and medicated to be covered under the aforesaid entry. Hence VAT on handloom bandages non-sterilized and un-mediated is leviable @4% being covered under entry 25 of Schedule 'C' of the Haryana VAT Act. Matter is clarified accordingly.

ORDER OF CLARIFICATION MADE BY SHRI RAMENDRA JAKHU,
FINANCIAL COMMISSIONER & PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, GOVERNMENET
OF HARYANA, EXCISE AND TAXATION
DEPARTMENT, UNDER SECTION 56(3) OF THE
HARYANA VALUE ADDED TAX ACT, 2003

Queriest: Clarification under section 56(3) of the Haryana VAT Act -
M/s S.R. Foils and Tissue Ltd. Plot No.02 Kadipur, Industrial

Gurgaon TIN No.06561930432.
M/s S.R. Foils and Tissue Ltd., Plot No.02 Kadipur, Industrial Area Gurgaon holding TIN No.06561930432, the querist is a dealer registered under Haryana VAT Act. The applicant has sought clarification under section 56(3) of the Haryana VAT act as to i) whether tissue papers and its forms namely, tissue paper, napkin, toilet paper rolls, facial tissues and kitchen wipes are covered under entry 57 of Schedule 'C' appended to Haryana VAT Act and ii) VAT rate applicable on these goods. In the statement of relevant facts having bearing on the aforesaid question, the applicant has explained that he is engaged in business of manufacture and sale interalia of tissue paper and its various kinds and is supplying its products to retailers such as big bazaar etc. The applicant has explained the elaborate process of manufacture of these products. In the statement containing the applicant's interpretation of law and facts the applicant has explained that the aforesaid products manufactured and sold by him are covered under entry 57 of Schedule 'C' and hence attract VAT @ 4%. The applicant has further explained that entry in the statue should be given widest amplitude and that entry 57 of Schedule 'C' viz paper, paper board and news print includes paper in all its forms. The applicant has further relied on judgement delivered by the Apex Court and various High Courts in support of his contention and has specified relied on judgement delivered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Commissioner of Central Excise-I, New Delhi V/s S.R. Tissues Pvt. Ltd. and another 2005 (186) ELT 385 SC wherein, as per the contention of the applicant the issue has been settled in favour of the appellant.
The matter has been examined. Entry 57 of the Schedule 'C' appended to Haryana VAT Act includes "paper, paper board and news print".
From the entry itself it is clear that the entry speaks of a board generic terms paper, and paper board. The entry does'nt convey any sense as to the use and application of such papers. Papers covered under this entry may be craft paper, news print paper etc. However, the products manufactured and sold by the applicant viz tissue paper, napkins, toilet paper rolls, kitchen wipes and facial tissues are specific product meant for specific purpose. If paper and paper boards are genus, tissue paper, napkin, toilet paper rolls, facial tissues and kitchen wipes are specie of this genus. Further, in chapter 48 of the Central Excise Teriff of India pertaining to paper and paper boards etc. toilet paper and similar paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres of a kind use for house hold or sanitary purposes find separate mention under Tariff items No.4818 of chapter 48.
As to the Supreme Court judgement in case of S.R. Tissues Pvt. Ltd. and another 2005(186)ELT 385 SC relied by the applicant, the point in issue in the said judgment was as to whether the process of slitting/cutting of jumbo rolls of plain tissue paper/aluminum file into similar size will amount to manufacture or not and in para 26 of the judgment in the case was remitted back to the Commissioner to ascertain whether the assessee had the requisite infrastructure, facility, machine etc. for manufacturing fragmented and wet tissue and, if so whether the process amounts to manufacture.
Thus entry 57 of Schedule 'C' includes paper and paper board or news print in raw form, viz inputs for manufacture of specified products and tissue papers and its forms namely tissue paper, napkin, toilet paper rolls, kitchen wipes and facial tissues which are made from a class of papers of characteristic gauzy texture, in some cases fairly transparent, light weighted and subjected to fumigation and scenting, are not covered under the aforesaid entry and hence attract VAT @12.5% being unclassified goods.
Matter is clarified accordingly.

Scope of manufacture extended in chapters 68 and 76 of Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985 with immediate effect

No Union Budget would be complete without a retrospective legislation or with a new chapter note enlarging the definition of manufacture under the Central Excise Act, 1944.

We take a look at the winners of this year’s manufacturing contest.

The Ninth Schedule to the Finance Bill, 2010 [clause 74 refers] has joint winners and they are –

(A) In chapter 68, the following note 3 has been inserted –

“3. In relation to products of headings 6802 and 6810, the process of cutting or sawing or sizing or polishing or any other process, for converting stone blocks into slabs or tiles, shall amount to “manufacture”.”

(B) In chapter 76, after numbering the existing note as note 1, a new note 2 is inserted and it reads –

“2. In relation to products of heading 7608, the process of drawing or redrawing shall amount to “manufacture”.”

Background

(A) In the case of Rajasthan State Electricity Board v. Associated JT 2000 (6) S.C. 522,the Supreme Court has held that cutting and polishing stone into slabs did not amount to any manufacture of goods. These were the observations of the Bench -

"....This a part excavation of stones from a mine and thereafter cutting them and polishing them into slabs did not amount to manufacture of goods. The word "manufacture" generally and in the ordinary parlance in the absence of its definition in the Act should be understood to mean bringing to existence a new and different article having distinctive name, character or use after undergoing some transformation. When no new product as such comes into existence, there is no process of manufacture. The cutting and polishing stones into slabs is not a process of manufacture for obvious and simple reason that no new and distinct commercial product came into existence as the end product still remained stone and thus its original identity continued...It is not possible to accept that excavation of stones and thereafter cutting and polishing them into slabs resulted in any manufacture of goods."

Incidentally, in the case of Aman Marble Industries,the Apex Court after relying on the above decision held that “Cutting marble blocks into slabs and polishing them doesn't amount to manufacture.”

Later, So, if “marble” could get such a chapter note, “Stone blocks” were not far away and thus products of heading 6802 and 6810 also get covered by the recent amendment made by the Finance Bill, 2010.

(B)As for amendments in Chapter 76 of the Central Excise Tariff, if others viz. drawing or redrawing of pipes and tubes of headings 7304, 7305 and 7306 could get the benefit of being anointed as a manufacturing activity, chapter 76 was not far.

Therefore, chapter 76 also gets a chapter note notifying that in relation to products of heading 7608, the process of drawing or redrawing shall amount to manufacture.

Last but not the least, these amendments come into immediate effect as the relevant clause 74 has been declared under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1931.

2. The Board had examined the matter in consultation with various Customs field formations. It was seen that initially when the facility was first extended, M/s. Air India was the only airline that was undertaking carriage of both international and domestic cargo. However, presently a number of other private airlines have also started providing such a service. Therefore, it was felt that the facility of carriage of domestic cargo in international flights between two domestic airports may be allowed to other private airlines as well, subject to fulfilment of certain safeguards so as to prevent any misuse.

3. In this regard, it is stated that the Board has decided to allow domestic private airlines as well as M/s. Air India and Indian Airlines, to carry domestic cargo between domestic airports on their international flights subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions:
(i) Separate space shall be assigned by the airlines or custodian in the cargo complex / area of the airport for receipt and storage of domestic cargo till these are delivered or dispatched.
(ii) Domestic cargo will be received by the airlines in the designated area during the normal working hours of Customs at the respective airport.

(v) Loading or unloading of domestic cargo in any international flight/ aircraft shall be carried under the supervision of Customs officers.
(vi) Domestic and international cargo will be loaded separately, and shall be carried in hold area onboard the aircraft distinctly identifying these cargoes.
(vii) On arrival of the domestic cargo, at the destination airport, the airlines shall make necessary arrangements to deliver the domestic cargo.
(viii) In respect of transhipment of international cargo by airlines, they shall be required to execute necessary bond and bank guarantee as prescribed vide Circular No.78/2001-Customs dated 7.12.2001. Further, those persons who fulfill the threshold limit of annual transshipment volume specified shall be exempt from the requirement of furnishing bank guarantee as specified Circular No.45/2005-Customs dated 24.11.2005.

Accordingly, no separate bond or bank guarantee shall be required in respect of domestic cargo. In addition, transshipment procedure as specified in Board's Circular No. 06/2007-Cus dated 22.01.2007 may be strictly adhered to.

4.

5.

Difficulties, if any, experienced while implementing the above matter may be taken up for appropriate action with the Board.

Now private airlines also want this facility.
Board has noticed that initially when the facility was first extended, Air India was the only airline that was undertaking carriage of both international and domestic cargo. However, now a number of other private airlines have also started providing such a service. Therefore, it was felt that the facility of carriage of domestic cargo in international flights between two domestic airports may be allowed to other private airlines as well, subject to fulfilment of certain safeguards so as to prevent any misuse.
So the Board has decided to allow domestic private airlines as well as M/s. Air India and Indian Airlines, [are they not merged?] to carry domestic cargo between domestic airports on their international flights subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions:
(i) Separate space shall be assigned by the airlines or custodian in the cargo complex / area of the airport for receipt and storage of domestic cargo till these are delivered or dispatched.
(ii) Domestic cargo will be received by the airlines in the designated area during the normal working hours of Customs at the respective airport.
(iii) The containers/ Unit Load Devices (ULDs) used for carrying the domestic or international cargo shall be clearly marked or coloured or strapped, for its identification, distinction at the time of loading/ unloading, transportation.
(iv) Domestic tags shall be prepared for identification of the domestic cargo with separate colour coding.
(v) Loading or unloading of domestic cargo in any international flight/ aircraft shall be carried under the supervision of Customs officers.
(vi) Domestic and international cargo will be loaded separately, and shall be carried in hold area onboard the aircraft distinctly identifying these cargoes.
(vii) On arrival of the domestic cargo, at the destination airport, the airlines shall make necessary arrangements to deliver the domestic cargo.
(viii) In respect of transhipment of international cargo by airlines, they shall be required to execute necessary bond and bank guarantee as prescribed vide Circular No.78/2001-Customs dated 7.12.2001. Further, those persons who fulfill the threshold limit of annual transshipment volume specified shall be exempt from the requirement of furnishing bank guarantee as specified Circular No.45/2005-Customs dated 24.11.2005. Accordingly, no separate bond or bank guarantee shall be required in respect of domestic cargo. In addition, transshipment procedure as specified in Board's Circular No. 06/2007-Cus dated 22.01.2007 may be strictly adhered to.
