Case History
Summary: Tata Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. v. Collector of Central Excise Decision: The Supreme Court held that additional elements (Steel Development Fund contributions, modernization charges, export assistance fund amounts) added to ex-works prices by steel plants constitute part of the "price" and must be included in assessable value for excise duty calculation. These elements are not deductible as "other taxes" under Section 4(4)(d)(ii) of the Central Excise Act. The Court rejected arguments that income tax principles apply to excise valuation and ruled that the Revenue's appeals should be allowed.
