Facts:
Appellant is a 100% export oriented unit (EOU) engaged in export of computer software and Information Technology enabled services. The refund claims filed were rejected by the lower authorities on the ground that the relevant date for calculating the time limit for grant of refund was the date of rendering services and thus the claims were time barred. However, the learned CESTAT accepted the refund claim and the revenue is in appeal.
Held:
The Hon’ble High Court relying on the decision of the Mumbai Tribunal in the case of CCE Pune-I vs. Eaton Industries P. Ltd 2011(22) S.T.R. 223 [2011-TIOL-166- CESTAT-MUM] held that the relevant date for calculating the time limit for grant of refund would be the date of receipt of consideration and not the date of services provided.
