22 January 2014 Dear Sir,

An assessee has transferred goods to its godown without payment of duty as there was a shortage in factory premises. intimation or prior permission of excise officer was not sought for this. Central excise officers comes to factory premises for physical verification of goods & found descrepancy. He is asking for duty & penalty. Kindly provide what remedies are there with the assessee? Goods are bought back to factory premises but excise officer is denying for further verification and asking for duty.

Kindly suggest on what stand assessee can take? further provide case laws & judgements if any. Thanks in advance.
