As per the case facts, M/s Bharti Airtel Ltd. appealed a decision concerning whether mobile telecommunication towers and pre-fabricated buildings (PFBs) qualify as "goods" and "inputs" for CENVAT credit benefits.
...The appeal challenged the interpretation of relevant rules and prior judgments regarding eligibility for credit. The question arose whether these towers and PFBs are considered "goods" and "inputs" under Rule 2(k) of the CENVAT Rules for obtaining credit benefits. Finally, the Supreme Court determined that towers and pre-fabricated buildings are "goods," not immovable property, and since they are used in providing mobile telecommunication services, they qualify as "inputs" under Rule 2(k) for CENVAT credit. The Court affirmed the Delhi High Court's ruling in Vodafone and overturned the Bombay High Court's decision in Bharti Airtel.
