The refund claim so filed was rejected on the ground that when tax is collected considering the services as port service, refund cannot be granted considering it otherwise.

It was held that once the service tax paid on the eligible specified services and used the same for export, verification of registration certificate would not be required. Hence, the Revenue cannot withdraw the refund and appeal was allowed with consequential relief.
