(5) The Commissioner shall fix a date ordinarily not earlier than 30 days from the date of issue of a notice in Form "C" or Form "E" for producing such accounts and documents as he may require and for considering any objection which the owner may wish to offer.

(6) After considering any objection made by the owner and any evidence produced in support thereof, the Commissioner shall assess the amount of the duty of excise to be paid by the owner and shall record his findings and pass his final assessment order in Form "F".

(7) The amount of duty thus assessed, the date by which the amount so assessed is to be deposited (which shall not ordinarily be earlier than 30 days from the date of issue of demand noticed) and any other particulars connected therewith shall be specified in the demand notice in Form "G".

(8) The mode of payment into the treasury of the amount specified in demand notice in Form "G" shall be the same as laid down in rule 35, provided that the copy of the necessary challan intended for transmission to the Commissioner shall be forwarded to him with a covering letter quoting reference to the demand notice.

Recovery of duty of excise on iron ore which has escaped assessment, -

If-

(a) the Commissioner has reason to believe that by reason of the concealment by the owner of any particulars of production of iron ore from any mine such production has escaped the levy of duty of Excise; or

(b) notwithstanding any such concealment of particulars as is mentioned in Clause (a) on the part of the owner, the Commissioner has, in consequence of information in his possession, reason to believe that any production of iron ore from a mine has escaped levy of duty of excise, the Commissioner may, in cases falling under Clause (a) at any time within four years and in cases falling under Clause (b) at any time within two years of the end of the month the return in respect of which should have included such production of iron ore which has escaped assessment, assess the duty of excise payable thereon and all the provisions of these rules shall apply to the duty of excise so assessed as if assessment were included in the final assessment order as provided under rule 38:

Provided that the Commissioner, before exercising the powers conferred upon him under this rule, shall give the owner a reasonable opportunity of being heard.

Recovery of unpaid duty of excise and penalty.- (1) Any amount of duty of excise which remain unpaid after the date specified in the demand notice and any amount of penalty which is imposed on an owner for violation of any of the rules framed under the Act shall be recovered as an arrear of land revenue and shall be credited to the Central Government as provided in rule 33.

(2) The Government shall (in Order to recover the unpaid amount of cess and also the penalty, if not paid) apply to the Collector of the district in which the mine is situated for the recovery of the amount due from the owner of a mine.

(3) The Collector shall send a report to the Commissioner by the 10th day of each month showing the amount recovered by him as land revenue during the preceding month.

Review.- (1) Within 30 days from the date of issue of a demand notice in Form "G" any owner may submit a petition to the Commissioner asking for a review of such assessment, provided that no such petition shall be entertained unless the Commissioner is satisfied that the amount assessed has been paid by the owner into a treasury as required under rule 38.

(2) Every petition for review shall be accompanied by a memorandum setting forth clearly the principal grounds of objection against the assessment made together with a copy of the treasury challan showing that the amount assessed has been paid to Government and a certified copy of the assessment order.

(3) The Commissioner shall, after verifying the fact of assessment from the records of his office, satisfy himself as to the correctness of the grounds in the petition and if he finds that a prima facie error of judgment has been made shall issue an order either reducing or annulling the assessment.

(4) If, on the other hand, the records in his office reveal that assessment has been made correctly, the Commissioner shall, after giving the petitioner an opportunity of being heard, issue an order confirming the assessment. The order of the Commissioner shall be final.

(5) The Commissioner shall record his decision in writing.

(6) The petitioner shall be entitled to a copy of the Commissioner's orders on the petition for review free of cost and it shall be furnished to him as soon as possible after the orders are passed.

(7) So much of the duty originally assessed upon and paid by the owner as is found not to be due from him as a result of review under sub-rule (1) shall be refunded to the owner concerned or adjusted in the account of the owner concerned, as the Commissioner may deem fit, on the basis of the orders on the petition for review.

(8) Any refund under sub-rule (7) shall be made in cash by drawing the amount from the treasury on an ordinary contingent bill on which shall be specified the review case, number, date of review order and the number, date and amount of treasury challan concerned.

Records of collection.- (1) For the proper accounting of the duty collected under these rules, the Commissioner shall maintain records to show the following particulars along with any other particulars required:

(a) assessment and collection of duty;

(b) particulars of petition and orders thereon;

(2) All the papers relating to the assessment of duty in respect of a mine shall be kept together and shall form an assessment case record.

CHAPTER V

Miscellaneous

Maintenance of the accounts.- (1) The amount of the case collected under the Act shall be credited to Major Head "II-Union Excise Duties-Iron Ore".

(2) The proceeds of the case, reduced by the cost of collection as may be determined by the Central Government shall, after due appropriation made by Parliament by law, be transferred to "Section T-Deposits and Advances-Part II - Deposits not bearing interest-(B) Reserve Funds-Iron Ore Mines Labour Welfare Fund" in the public account of the Central Government for expenditure on measures for the welfare of labour employed in the iron ore mining industry.

(3) The miscellaneous receipts accruing from the investment of the accounts in the Fund and the other moneys received in connection with the measures for the welfare of labour employed in the iron ore mining industry shall be credited in the first instance to Head "XXII-Miscellaneous Special and Developmental Organization-Labour and Employment" and subsequently transferred, after due appropriation made by Parliament by law, to the Reserve Fund referred to in sub-rule (2).

Allocation.- The proceeds of the cess transferred to the Iron Ore Mines Labour Welfare Fund every year and such other moneys as may be received in the Fund, shall be distributed by the Central Government for expenditure in iron ore producing areas in proportion to their production or in such manner as may be decided in consultation with the Government of those areas.
Statistics and other information.- (1) The owner of an iron ore mine shall furnish such statistics or other information as the Central Government or any other person authorized by the Central Government in writing in this behalf may by written order require for the purposes of the Act in such manner and within such time as may be specified in the order.

(2) Any owner of an iron ore mine who, without reasonable excuse, fails to furnish the statistics or other information required under sub-rule (1) or furnish statistics or other information containing a statement, entry or detail which is not to the best of his knowledge or belief true, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to Rs. 500.

Conditions of service of persons appointed under Section 5 of the Act.- Until other provision is made in this behalf, persons appointed under Section 5 of the Act, shall be governed by such rules relating to the terms and conditions of service of Government servants generally, as may be made applicable with modifications, if any, to such persons by the Central Government.
