Rule 6 CCR 2004 | Bagasse as Agricultural Waste Not an Exempted Good; Cenvat Credit Reversal Not Warranted : CESTAT Ahmedabad
CESTAT Ahmedabad holds that bagasse, generated as agricultural waste during sugar production, cannot be classified as an exempted good under Rule 6 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004, rendering circulars demanding credit reversal unlawful. This clarifies that waste by-products not intentionally manufactured for sale do not trigger input credit reversal obligations, benefiting sugar mills and agro-industries nationwide.
