i) That, thepetitioner company is a manufacturer of various kind of
abrasive products i.e. bonded abrasives, coated abrasives, non-
woven abrasives etc.

of the petitioner, the goods are directly sold to business entities all
. over India. The goods are alsosent by the petitioner company to

iii) That, the petitioner company is also dealing with one product
known as "Scrub Pads / Scrubbers" which is used by the
household. for all household cleaning items and is also commonly
known as "Juna" in Northern India which is covered by Entry-84
. of Schedule-I of DVAT Act,2004. Currently the COlTIpany is selling
these products directly from Bangalore on CST Basis. However,
they would start stock transfer these products to Delhi to market

5. With these averments, the applicant requested to determine the rate of
VAT on Scrub Pads / Scrubbers.
6. The DR appearing on behalf of the department stated that entry 84 of..
schedule -1 of the DVAT Act 2004 reads as Juna. The word juna refers
to a pad made up of hairs of coconut, used for washing utensils. lIt is
normally made up of naturally occurring fibres of coconut. The product
referred' by the applicant is made up .of synthetic fibres i.e. non-woven
web of fibre, nylon and polyster fibres. The product is different from
juna and hence is not covered under the meaning of the word juna.
Further the product is also not covered under entry 162 of third
schedule of the DVAT Act 20~4, as coated abrasives or. bonded
abrasives. As abrasives are used to shape or finish a thing through
... " rubbing which leads to a part of the work piece being worn away while
in the instant case the product referred to by the applicant is just used
. for cleaning household items. Hence the product falls under the
unspecified category and is taxable u/~_41)e 'of the DVAT Act at
7. I have heard both the sides and gone through the documents available'
on record and of the view that the product under consideration scrub
pads/ scrubber used for cleaning household/kitchen items is not
covered under the meaning of the word juna or abrasive and hence is
taxable u/s 4(1)e of the DVAT Act 2004 at 12.50/0.
accordingly.
