Heard Mr. Swaroop Orilla, appearing on behalf of Mr. M.V.J.K. Kumar, learned Senior Standing Counsel for Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax and Mr. K. Raji Reddy, learned counsel for the respondent.
2. This Appeal by the Revenue, invoking Section 35-G of the CENTRAL EXCISE ACT , 1944 (for short, ‘the Act’), challenges the final order No. A/30782/2016, dated 03.08.2016 in Appeal No. E/964/2012 on the file of the Central Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), Regional Bench, Hyderabad.
3. In this Appeal, two substantial questions of law have been raised:
1) Whether the Hon’ble CESTAT’s decision is correct in holding that refund arising out of the finalization of provisional assessments during the period February 1985 to April 1995 need not pass the test o
Refund claims under provisional assessments prior to the 1999 amendment to Rule 9B of the Central Excise Act do not require the test of unjust enrichment.
Refund claims arising from provisional assessments are exempt from the principles of unjust enrichment as per established judicial precedents.
Refund of service tax on exempt services barred by unjust enrichment if contract inclusive of tax and incidence passed on; refund proceedings cannot modify self-assessments.
