Uluberia, District Hawrah and submitted verification report from Central Excise certifying presence of capital goods at the new premises which were not installed due to their obsolescence and non-availability of new machinery to make the plant functional. The case was considered in the EPCG Committee meeting held on

24.05.2019. The Committee deliberated upon the case and decided to call a report from the RA including the details of the EOfulfillment by the party.

The firm's contention is that the CGs are obsolete and cannot be installed. They are lying at their Howrah unit and their presence has been confirmed by CGST & Central Excise Range -III, Uluberia Division, Howrah. They cannot produce the installation certificate as directed by RA Kolkata due to the condition of CGs. Relaxation has been sought by the firm in this regard.
