ORDER
Per: S.K. Mohanty
Brief facts of the case are that the appellant is engaged in providing the taxable services under the category of 'Business Auxiliary Service' 'Information Technology Service' and 'Maintenance and Repair Service', defined under the Finance Act, 1994. During the period April to June '2013, the appellant had filed refund appli

s allowed the refund benefit for Rs. 3,89,143/- and rejected the balance amount of Rs. 3,40,065/- on the ground that no nexus have been established between the input and the output services. Feeling aggrieved with the impugned order, the appellant has preferred this appeal before the Tribunal.
2. Heard both sides and perused the records.
3. Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004, was substituted vide Notification No. 18/2012-CE (NT) dated 17.03.2012, with effect from 01.04.2012. The said substituted rule has prescribed the formula for claiming refund of service tax by the service provider. Under such amended rule in vogue, there is no requirement of satisfying the nexus between the input services and the output service provided by the servic

al of the statutory provisions read with the clarifications furnished by the TRU, it transpires that under the substituted Rule 5 of the rules, there is no requirement of showing the nexus between the input service and the output service provided by the assessee. Since the refund under the said amended rule is governed on the basis of receipt of export turnover to the total turnover, the establishing the nexus between the input and output service cannot be insisted upon for consideration of the refund application.
4. Therefore, I do not find any merits in the impugned order in denying the refund benefit to the appellant. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the appeal is allowed in favour of the appellant.

GST ISSUES REQUIRING ADDRESS BY GST

GST ISSUES REQUIRING ADDRESS BY GST
By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 28-5-2018

Even after close to eleven months since GST was launched in India w.e.f. 1st July, 2017, trade & industry and taxpayers / professionals are confronted with various issues which are required to be sorted out, clarified by CBIC or redressed. Moreover, we have now Authority for Advance Ruling which is also contributing to the confusions.
Here are few issues and concerns identified to be addressed/ redressed by appropriate forum, sooner the better.
* The last date for filing of TRAN 1 was 27.12.2017, but many of the taxpayers failed to file TRAN-1 due to genuine reasons other than IT glitches. Though for IT related compliance, additional window has since been opened vide Circular No. 39/2018 dated 03.04.2018, there are large number of cases wherein TRAN-1 could not be filed due to ignorance or other reasons. One more option may be provided to the assessees, as it

anually by the taxpayer which involves a huge risk of wrong calculation therefore, such penalty/ interest / debits may be generated by GSTN System only instead of doing manually.
Currently the benefit of composition scheme is available to limited taxpayers, therefore, the composition scheme should be extended to service providers and for Inter-state supplies also.
There are certain wherein Advance Ruling Authority (AAR) have ruled on taxability of those transactions, for e.g.:
* Supply of motor vehicles as scrap after its usage is considered as an activity of 'supply' in course or furtherance of business and such transaction would attract GST (AAR). This should not be treated as supply or be exempted from GST.
* Recovery of food expenses by employer from the employees for the canteen services/working lunch provided by business entity is considered as 'Outward Supply' and hence taxable (AAR). It may be considered as part of CTC or as a perquisite & should not be taxed.

to SEZ employees may not be treated as supply to SEZ (AAR). Supplies related to SEZ are zero rated and since SEZ/SEZ units are artificial judicial persons, they will always be acting through natural persons and as such, keeping in mind the legislative intention of zero rating in case of SEZ's. A suitable clarification is immediately required.
Query: Since there is no appellate mechanisms against AAR ruling at the moment assessee are stuck up for proper legal guidance & clarity
Suggestion: GST Council should setup a review mechanism for review of such rulings and avoiding different rulings by different States AAR.
The time life for pronouncement of advance ruling may be shortened.
Credit of motor vehicle used for business purposes should be allowed to all business entities. Purchase of vehicle for business purposes is a capital asset and forms part of gross block. Like any other capital good, motor vehicles are also crucial as a huge amount of ITC lapses even when assets are us

of GST, if not fully exempting it. Coaching is an important revenue earner for many States in many ways.
To promote tourism in the State, GST Council may be approached to reduce the GST rates on admission tickets.
Presently medical implants (e.g. Jaipur foot) are taxed @ 5%. Keeping in view noble services provided in the State; it deserves a better tax treatment by exempting the same.
E-way Bill System
* Training in relation to e-way bill should be provided for smooth implementation. Majority of pending litigation is an account of seizure and detention of goods. In almost all cases, courts have ordered for release of goods / vehicle.
Most of the transporters (GTA / GTO) are in unorganized sector and also not adequately educated. To ensure successful implementation of e-way bill system necessary training need to be imparted to transporters and drivers in Hindi / Regional Language.
Since the implantation is new it should be ensured that atleast in this initial period :

Can a supplier issue a Credit Not to its recipient for GST collected in excess, on downward revision of the price after the supply was made. The original invoice to which the CN is mapped shows GST collected on the Full value calculated at the original rate. This will reduce the output liability of the Supplier. IS such a CN equal to to the Refund as envisaged in the ACT.

The issue has different connotations under different circumstances. However the rule that has been determined by the SC is being consistently followed by the lower authorities.

ORDER
1. The Applicant is stated to be a manufacturer of Overhead Power Transmission Line Hardware and Accessories. His question is related to contracts obtained from M/s Power Grid Corporation of India (hereinafter referred to as “the Contractee”) who has entered into two separate contracts – one for supply of materials at ex-factory price (hereinafter referred to as “the First Contract”), and the other for supply of allied services like transportation, insurance, loading/unloading etc for delivery of materials at the contractee's site (hereinafter referred to as “the

lity of services supplied by them. The Applicant has drawn attention and referred to Facts as stated in Point No. 15 and Interpretation as stated in Point No. 16, of the Form.
3. According to the above submissions the Applicant is not a goods transport agency (hereinafter referred to as “GTA”) or engaged in the business of in-transit insurance and loading, which are naturally bundled with and dependent of the transportation services. He, according to the Application, arranges such services and pays the GST, as applicable, on the consideration paid to the suppliers of such services. The Applicant is of the opinion that this service to the Contractee is exempt under the GST Act. According to the Applicant, it is a composite supply with road transportation as the principal supply, and loading/unloading, in-transit insurance etc as ancillary supplies to the transportation service. As the Applicant is not a GTA, his supply of transportation service is exempt. [Reference may be made to Seri

5. Before deciding the issue of taxability of the consideration payable under the Second Contract for inland/local transportation and ancillary services like in-transit insurance, the two contracts referred to above need to be examined.
6. The Applicant has been awarded a package for supply of hardware fittings and accessories at different projects under two separate Notifications of Award (hereinafter referred to as “NOA”).
7. NOA No.CC-CS/651-SR1/HWF-3670/3/G2/NOA-I/7540 dated 12/12/ 2017 is the First Contract, involving ex-works supply of all equipment and materials. The scope of the work includes design, manufacture, testing and supply of hardware fittings and accessories. The consideration payable includes only the ex-work price component of the materials.
8. NOA No.CC-CS/651-SR1/HWF-3670/3/G2/NOA-II/7541 dated 12/12/2017 is the Second Contract, which involves all other activities required to be performed for delivery of the goods to the Contractee's site. The consideration is

nd Contract.
10. The Contractee is aware of such interdependence of the two contracts. Although he awards the contract under two separate NOAs, Clause 3.2 of both of the NOAs makes it abundantly clear that “Notwithstanding the break-up of the Contract Price, the Contract shall, at all times, be construed as a single source responsibility Contract and any breach in any part of the Contract shall be treated as a breach of the entire Contract.”
It is further elaborated under Clause 2.2 of both the Contracts. Second paragraph of Clause 2.2 of the First Contract says, “Notwithstanding the award of work under two separate Contracts in the aforesaid manner, you shall be overall responsible to ensure the execution of both the Contracts to achieve successful completion and taking over of the Goods under the package by the Purchaser as per the requirements stipulated in the Bidding Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed by you that any default or breach under the 'Second Contract' sh

rate Contracts in the aforesaid manner, you shall be overall responsible to ensure the execution of both the Contracts to achieve successful completion and taking over of the Goods under the package by the Purchaser as per the requirements stipulated in the Bidding Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed by you that any default or breach under the 'First Contract' shall automatically be deemed as a default or breach of this 'Second Contract' also and vice-versa, and any such default or breach or occurrence giving us a right to terminate the 'First Contract', either in full or in part, and/or recover damages there under, shall give us an absolute right to terminate this Contract, at your risk, cost and responsibility, either in full or in part and/or recover damages under this 'Second Contract' as well. However, such default or breach or occurrence in the 'First Contract', shall not automatically relieve you of any of your obligations under this 'Second Contract'. It is also ex

rate contracts but forms only parts of an indivisible composite contract with 'single source responsibility'. Composite nature of the contract is clear from the clause that defines satisfactory performance of the First Contract (supply of goods) as the time when the goods have been transported to the Contractee's site under the Second Contract. In other words, the First Contract cannot be performed satisfactorily unless the goods have been delivered to the Contractee's site in terms of the Second Contract. Moreover, the discussion in paragraph no. 8 above settles that the First Contract is no contract at all unless tied up with the Second Contract. The two promises – supply of the goods and their transportation to the Contractee's site – are, therefore, not separately enforceable in the present context. The supplies of goods and services of transportation etc are, therefore, naturally bundled. The recipient has not contracted for ex-factory supply of materials, but for the composite su

Mr. Bijay Kumar, Member (Technical) And Ms. Rachna Gupta, Member (Judicial)
Shri R.K. Mishra, D.R. – for the appellant
Shri Jitin Singhal, Advocate – for the respondent
Per Rachna Gupta :
The present appeal has been filed against the order of Commissioner (Appeals) dated 12.10.2017 vide which the demand raised by the department and confirmed by the original adjudicating authority has been dropped along with the penalties imposed.
2. The facts relevant for the purpose are that the respondent M/s C.P. Udyog was engaged in the manufacture of detergent and soap falling under the Chapter 34 of the Schedule to the Central Excise Tariff Act, 1985 and was enjoying exemption under Central Excise. It was on an enquiry as was initiated against it by the Anti Evasion Team

/2003, the unit of the manufacture has to exist in a rural area. Rule 5(H) of the said notification, while defining the rural area excludes the area falling within the Cantonment area. Rule 5(H) is extracted herein above:
“5(H) “Rural Area” means comprised in a village as defined in the land revenue records, excluding –
(i) The area under any municipal committee, municipal corporation town area committee, cantonment board or notified area committee, or
(ii) Any area that may be notified as an urban area by the Central Government or a State Government.”
It is impressed upon that as per the information obtained under RTI by the manufacturer itself their unit falls in village Derathu and the same falls within 2 Kms. periphery of the cantonment area and hence the benefits of the impugned notification have rightly been denied. The order under challenge has failed to consider the same and accordingly is prayed to be set aside.
5. While rebutting these arguments, it is submitted by th

all within rural area. It is only if the unit falls within municipal limit or within the limits of Cantonment Board etc. that it shall be out of the definition of rural area and out of the ambit of notification under which the appellant has claimed benefit. The provision is absolutely silent extending any peripheral area to be included within the definition of the said municipal area or the Cantonment Board Area.
In a plethora of cases, it has been stated by various judicial pronouncements that where, the language is clear, the intention of the legislature is to be gathered from the language used. It is not the duty of the court either to enlarge the scope of legislation or the intention of the legislature, when the language of the provision is plain. The court cannot rewrite the legislation for the reason that it had no power to legislate. The court cannot add words to a statute or read words into it which are not there. The court cannot, on an assumption that there is a defect or an
