Ms. Archana Wadhwa, Member (Judicial)
Ms Rinky Arora, Advocate for the Appellants
Shri H C Saini, AR for the Respondent
ORDER
Per Ms. Archana Wadhwa :
After hearing both the sides, I find that the appellants, who is engaged in the manufacture of Auto parts, availed cenvat credit of service tax of Rs. 18 lakh approx. paid in respect of services of Industrial Construction and Architect pertaining to construction of factory building, during the period 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. A part of the credit amount around Rs. 15,000/- relate to repair and maintenance of drains lying outside the factory premises.
2. Inasmuch as in the year 2011, the construction services were excluded from the definition of input ser

= = = = = = = =

= = = = = = = =

repair and maintenance services, she submits that there is no  exclusion of the said service and even if they are availed outside the factory premises but within the industrial area, credit would be admissible. She also referred to various decision in support of her contentions.
4. Learned AR appearing for the Revenue reiterates the grounds of rejection adopted by Commissioner (Appeals) and submits that in absence of details of services, in respect of which the credit has been availed, it is not possible for the Revenue to know about the said services, in which case, the extended period would be available to the Revenue. However, on being asked as to whether there is any provision in the law requiring the assessee to give the details of input services, he fairly agreed that no provision of law requires them to do so.
5. Inasmuch as the entire demand is barred by limitation, I propose to dispose of the appeal on the said issue. Admittedly, the show cause notice stand issued by i

= = = = = = = =

Plain text (Extract) only
For full text:-Visit the Source

= = = = = = = =

respect of which the credit was availed has not been reflected in ER 1 return and no document/ invoices stand given by the assessee. However, as is seen from the above observations of the appellate authority himself, no documents are required to be submitted by the assessee after 1996. If there is no legal obligation on the part of the assessee to do a particular act, non observation of that procedure / act cannot be held to be violative of law. If the law does not require documents / invoices, non submission of the same by an assessee is in accordance with the law and cannot be held to be a suppression or mis-statement, with an intent to evade payment of duty, thus  justifying the invocation of longer period of limitation.
7. Reference in this regard, can be made to Tribunal's decision in the case of Bajaj Hindustan Ltd. vs. CCE, Meerut I [2014 (33) STR 305 (Tri-Del)] wherein it was observed as under:-
7. Apart from allowing the appeals on merits, I also note that demands sta

In the absence of the same, assessee cannot be held guilty of any mala fide. As such, I hold that the entire demand having been raised after the normal period of limitation is time barred.”
8. Apart from the above, the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise, NOIDA vs. Accurate Chemical Industries [2014 (310) ELT 441 (All)] has also observed that the short payment detected by audit team when the assessee has duly filed the ER 1 return on a monthly basis, cannot be considered to be a malafide and the Range Officer were required to carry out a detailed scrutiny of ER 1 returns and if the same would have been done, short payment would have been detected. In such a scenario, the Hon'ble High Court observed that there was no malafide intent and extended period was not available.
9. Identical are the facts in the present case also. The appellant have admittedly filed ER 1 returns declaring the quantum of credit availed by them and the Revenue had not take

IT related glitch would be a grievance definitely looked into and is being looked into by Grievance Redressal Committee. In his affidavit, he has indicated as to how Nodal Officers have been appointed in terms of several circulars, copies of which are at Exhibits 'A', 'B' and 'C' to this petition. The tax payers can make an application to the Field Officers or the Nodal Officers where there was a demonstrable glitch on the common portal (GST portal) in relation to an identified issue due to which the tax payer could not comply with the provisions of law. The Nodal Officer, upon receipt of such an application, even online but with some proof or evidence therewith, would definitely look into the same and take the remedial steps. He would forward it to the GST network. Though, the Nodal Officer would give a formal acknowledgement, even online, beyond this he would not assist the applicant so as to enable the tax payer / applicant to make a record for himself and th

and would not delay the tax collection.
5. The Additional Solicitor General, after speaking to the officers present in Court, stated that presently there is nothing which has been evovled as a time frame within which the grievance raised before the Nodal Officer could be finally resolved and determined.
6. In relation to both these matters, we feel that this Court ought not be flooded with writ petitions and particularly more in number than what is already on our file. We find that in today's affidavit it is indicated that the tax payers shall complete the process of filing of TRAN-1 stuck due to IT related glitches by 30th April, 2018 and the process of complete filing of GSTR3B which could not be filed for such TRAN-1 shall be completed by 31st May, 2018.

chnical glitches or a Information Technology related matter which prevented them from accessing the system earlier. This is not a facility which could be availed of for any other reason and not attributable to such glitches or system faults / errors. We accept and endorse this stand of the respondents. The writ petitions in which the complaint was that the petitioners could not access the system on account of no fault of theirs but due to the technical glitches / IT related glitches are disposed of in these terms. We clarify that our order and direction are not a expression of opinion on the legal or other factual issues related to the returns. If the return is in any way otherwise deficient or defective in the opinion of the revenue, but not so in the submission of the assessee, then, such issues have to be resolved independently and on their own merits. Their outcome shall not be influenced by our directions. In other words, whether strict or substantial compliance is contemplated in

We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Avinash Chandra Tripathi, learned Standing Counsel for the State.
The instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the seizure order dated 16.04.2018 and the consequential penalty notice dated 16.04.2018 passed/issued under Section 129(1) and 129(3) of the Act respectively.
Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is a registered company having its registered office at Gurugram, Haryana. The petitioner company is also registered under the GST Act, 2017 and is carrying on business of transpor

gistered firm. For the dispatch of the aforesaid two consignments namely for Telangana and for Deharadun, the consignor of Ghaziabad has booked the goods to be delivered both at Telangana as well as Deharadun against the Goods Receipt (GR) which has been prepared on 15.04.2018. The aforesaid consignment was loaded in Truck No. U.P.-14FT- 0643 from the premises of the consignor in small vehicle and the same are brought for transshipment Branch which is situate at Grater Noida, U.P. and the goods were reloaded in two different trucks for transportation for Telangana and Deharadun. The distance between the business place of consignor and the Grater Noida Branch of Transporter is approximately 25-30 KM.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed the notification No.12 of 2018 dated 07.03.2018. By this notification, the Central Government has amended CGST Rules, 2017 by CGST (second amendment) Rules, 2018, by which new Rule 138 was substituted.

39;Part B' which pertains to details of truck/vehicle number was left blank to be filled by the transporter (in the present case the petitioner) when the goods will be reloaded in respective trucks at transshipment branch at Grater Noida for further journey upto Telangana and Deharadun respectively.
The counsel for the petitioner has submitted that on 15.04.2018 at late evening, that too after opening of no entry when the goods related to Telangana and Deharadun are loaded in Truck No. U.P.14-FT-0643 at the premises of the consignor for journey from Sahibabad, District Ghaziabad for the transshipment branch of the transport company situates at Greater Noida, and from where the aforesaid goods were required to be reloaded in respective vehicles for their individual destination, the respondent no.4 namely Assistant Commissioner, Sales Tax, Mobile Squad, Unit-III, Ghaziabad has intercepted the vehicle at 11.35 P.M. on 15.04.2018 and has issued the detention notice in the name of the

for the petitioner, the notification no.12 of 2018 dated 07.03.2018 issued by CGST as well as the notification no. 487 dated 26.03.2018 issued under the UPGST Act, it is apparent that both the aforesaid notification are pari-materia and third proviso of Sub-Rule 3 of Rule 138 provides that where goods are transported for a distance upto 50 Km within the State from place of business of consignor to place of transporter for further transportation, the transporter may not furnish the details of conveyance in 'Part B' of GST e-way bill-01.
According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the distance was much below within the prescribed limit of 50 km in between the consignors place of business and transport company from where the goods were required to be reloaded in different transport vehicles for their onward journey. He has further submitted that since the department itself has issued the notification, therefore, the entire seizure proceeding is wholly illegal as also co

of goods across the country is being introduced from 01st April, 2018. Few clarifications regarding the new e-way bill system are as follows:
1. Situation:- Consider a situation where a consignor is required to move goods from City X to City Z. He appoints Transporter A for movement of his goods. Transporter A moves the goods from City X to City Y. For completing the movement of goods i.e. from City Y to City Z, Transporter A now hands over the goods to Transporter B. Thereafter, the goods are moved to the destination i.e. from City Y to City Z by Transporter B. How would the e-way bill be generated in such situations?
Clarification:- It is clarified that in such a scenario, only one e-way bill would be required. PART A of FORMGST EWB-01 can be filled by the consignor and then the e-way bill will be assigned by the consignor to Transporter A. Transporter A will fill the vehicle details, etc. in PART B of FORMGST EWB-01 and will move the goods from City X to City Y.
On reaching City

WB-01 on Monday and the validity period of the e-way bill will start from Monday.
The aforesaid clarification issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance stipulates the functioning of use of e-way bill system. In this clarification, it is clearly provided that on reaching city Y, transporter A will assign the said e-way bill to the transporter B. Thereafter the transporter B will be able to update the details of 'Part-B' of Form GST e-way bill-01 and transporter B will fill details of his vehicle and will move the goods thereafter.
In the instant case, there is no dispute with regard to downloading of e-way bill, which was downloaded on 15.04.2018. The vehicle proceeded from consignors place of business to the transporter's godown and from there the goods were supposed to reload in other vehicles and then to proceed to its ultimate destination namely Telangana and Deharadun. Until and unless the goods/vehicle reached at the place of transport company from where

Further, the petitioner was to indicate in the written reply as to whether they wish to be heard in person before the case is adjudicated.
4. The learned Senior Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 raised a preliminary objection regarding maintainability of writ petition as the impugned order in the writ petition is a show cause notice and submitted that the petitioner should be directed to file a reply to the show cause notice and participate in the adjudication process before the 3rd respondent.
5. In reply to the said preliminary objection, the learned Additional Advocate General submitted that the nature of services rendered by the Corporation of Chennai is services rendered to the general public and no service tax is payable. It is further submitted that the Telecom Companies, who are permitted to lay Optical Fibre Cables, are paying GST and the said payment is inclusive of all taxes and therefore, no separate payment for service tax is maintainable against th

ommissioning, installation, completion, fitting out, repair, maintenance for the use of , renovation or alteration for the use of general public is wholly exempted from the payment of service tax and therefore, the 2nd respondent has no jurisdiction to issue the impugned show cause notice. Further, it is reiterated that the transaction has already suffered tax when the excavation is done and if the 2nd respondent is to adjudicate the impugned show cause notice and levy service taxation, it will amount double tax. On the above ground, learned Additional Advocate General sought for quashing the impugned show cause notice.
6. While reiterating the preliminary objection, the learned Senior Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 submitted that on and from 01.07.1962, all activities are liable for payment of service tax except the services which are exempted. Referring to the averments/allegations in the impugned show cause notice, it is submitted that the nature of activity

ause notice on the ground of jurisdiction. The petitioner has challenged the impugned show cause notice primarily on two grounds. Firstly on the ground that it performs public duty and in the process of doing so, there is excavation work and for the said excavation work the concerned contractor, is remitting tax, which is is inclusive of service tax. Secondly, jurisdictional issue is raised by placing reliance on Mega Exemption Notification dated 20.06.2012.
9. On a perusal of the impugned show cause notice, it is seen that what is being sought to be taxed is the renting of immovable property and not for excavation work. Therefore, if any remittance being made by the Contractor who has excavated the earth for the purpose of renting of immovable property, will not absolve the petitioner from the proposal made in the show cause notice. The second aspect is whether Mega Exemption Notification would be applicable to a particular nature of service is purely a question of fact. Therefore, i

not be quashed.
10. For the above reasons, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. However, it is made clear that the observation made in this order are only prima facie observations made while testing the legal question as to whether the writ petition is maintainable or not and these observations will have absolutely no impact in the adjudication process and the Adjudicating Authority shall decide the matter independently applying his mind and without being in any manner influenced by the observations made in this order. Considering the fact that the writ petition is pending since 14.3.2018 and time limit prescribed in the show cause notice for submitting reply has expired, this court directs the petitioner to submit their reply to the show cause notice within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The reply to be filed by the petitioner shall be in addition to the reply already filed by the petitioner dated 13.03.2018 and the adjudicati

Therefore, as per the Larger Bench decision of the Tribunal in the case of CCE& SST, Bengaluru ST-I vs. Span Infotech (India) Pvt. Ltd. – 2018-VIL-107- CESTAT-MUM-ST-LB, the refund stands filed within one year from the end of the quarter, which is the relevant date in terms of Section 11B of the Central Excise Act, 1944, as made applicable by Notification N

was submitted on 30.9.2013, which shows that the refund was filed within one year from the end of the quarter. Therefore, it is well within the prescribed time as provided under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act. Therefore, there is no substance in the Revenue's appeal. Hence the Revenue's appeal is dismissed.
6. As regards the assessee's appeal, I find that the issue is whether the services such as general insurance services, real estate agent's services, stock broker services, online information and data access or retrieved services, club or association services and sponsorship services are admissible input services and have nexus with the services exported in term of Rule 2(l) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. As explained by the learned counsel, which is based on the invoices submitted, I find that general insurance is for the purpose of insurance policy for the entire premises, including fire, asset of the premises, a small part of the inputs, mediclaim for the employees.

purpose of assessing the overall work of the company which is required for the purpose of business of investment banking. This issue is covered by the judgment of the Tribunal in the case of D.E. Shaw India Pvt. Ltd. (supra) and Willis Processing Services (India) Pvt. Ltd. (supra). Therefore, this service is directly used in providing the output service. As regards the online information and data access or retrieved services, from the invoice it is observed that this service is for subscription of website which is used for conducting their business. Therefore, it is directly used for providing the output service, hence the credit is admissible. As regards club or association services, the invoice shows that the membership is of business association. It is common that every membership is for business association which helps the assessee to promote their business by meeting the various members of the association who are into similar business. Therefore, the membership of a business assoc

Sir/Madam,
In my point of view, you can file refund claim under Rule 89(3) of CGST Rules, 2017 read with Section 54 (1) of GST Act,2017. However, till date the same is not available on portal but may be in future.
