3. Proceedings were initiated against them by issuing show-cause notice seeking to deny CENVAT credit on the ground that such discharge certificate is not one of the specified documents for the purpose of availment of credit under rule 9 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 and as such credit cannot be allowed to them. The show-cause notice culminated into an order passed by the Deputy Commissioner denying availment of such credit on such ground.

Having held that the said certificate was a proper document, the appellate authority should have allowed the credit instead of rejecting the part on the ground of time bar. In any case and in any view of the matter I find that this specialised scheme was introduced by the Government of India for a limited period where the assessee is required to deposit duty and apply to the Revenue who would issue discharge certificate, on being satisfied about the quantum of taxes so paid by an assessee. If the assessee's tax credit is on the basis of challan itself, the concurrence of the Revenue is

ommitting mistakes in the information furnished to (i) GSTN while filing GSTR 1 / Table 6A or GSTR 3B and (ii) Customs EDI system while filing Shipping Bill. The pre-requisites and precautions that need to be taken for successful processing of refund claims are as follows:
(i) Exporters have to file GSTR 3B with taxable value for export and IGST paid against exports indicated in appropriate fields.
(ii) Exporters have to file GSTR 1 or Table 6A for the exports made with correct details such as Invoice number, Taxable value, IGST paid, Shipping Bill number, Shipping Date and Port Code. Large number of exporters have filed incomplete GSTR 1 or Table 6A where shipping bill number or date or port code are missing. These records are not processed / forwarded to Customs by GSTN. E-mails have been sent to exporters asking them to correct their records through amendment process of GSTR 1 i.e through Table 9 of GSTR 1 of the following month.
(iii) The aggregate IGST paid amount claimed in GS

nth to amend the records of previous month so as to take care of issues mentioned in paras (ii) and (iii) above. In cases where exporters have already filed information through Table 9 of GSTR 1, the said information is being validated by GSTN. The validated information is expected to be forwarded by GSTN to Customs by mid-March 2018 for further processing.
(vi) The records (i.e GSTR 1 or Table 6A) which have been forwarded by GSTN to Customs after validations mentioned at (ii) and (iii) above are processed by the Customs EDI system. In cases where the information forwarded by GSTN tallies with the information furnished in Shipping bills, refunds are automatically sanctioned by Customs EDI system. As mentioned earlier, till date about ₹ 4000 Crore has been sanctioned as refund of IGST paid.
(vii) However, there are many instances where refunds are held up on Customs EDI system due to certain errors which have been clearly brought out in the Circular No 42/2017Customs. The major

Once the registration is obtained, the exporters can check the status of IGST refunds associated with their exports and the corresponding error message, if any. This enquiry takes GSTIN Number, Port-code and Return Month as inputs and based on the input, Shipping Bill Number, Shipping Bill Date, Return Month, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Response Code and Processed date is displayed as a result of the enquiry. The records displayed are those that have been received from GSTN and processed by the Customs Automated System.
(ix) The analysis of Customs data indicates that while most of the errors mentioned in para (vi) above are decreasing, the error mentioned at (c) in para (vii) is most prevalent. The error mentioned at (c) in para (vii) is about invoice mis-match.
This error is because of the fact that exporters are using two sets of invoices

vided in the shipping bill were at variance. It is pertinent to note that refund claims would be processed in only those cases where the error code is mentioned as SB005. Further, it may also be noted that all refunds shall continue to be credited electronically through the PFMS system, and no manual payment / cheque should be issued. The procedure for processing of IGST refund claims in these cases would be as follows:
a. The exporter shall provide a concordance table indicating mapping between GST invoices and corresponding Shipping Bill invoices, as annexed in support of the refund claim to the designated officer in the Custom house. A scanned copy of concordance table may also be sent to dedicated email address of Customs location from where exports took place.
b. Customs EDI system shall display list of all the invoices pertaining to such SBs vis-a-vis the invoice data received from GSTN. The officer shall verify the following:

f. Once refund is sanctioned by the officer, the shipping bills would be available for generating scroll as per normal process.
5. In order to ensure smooth operation of the prescribed procedure, a dedicated cell has been opened in the Drawback section of Inland Container Depot consisting of the following Officers:
a) Sri HDYK Swamy, Assistant Commissioner
b) Sri B.K. Gopalkrishna, Superintendent
c) Smt. G. Anitha, Superintendent

The email id of the dedicated cell is icdblr@gmail.com

Difficulties, if any, faced in the implementation of this Public Notice may be brought to the notice of this office. It is again emphasized that Board is taking all possible steps to alleviate the difficulties associated with IGST refunds.

Dear Experts,
previously we are charging 18% GST on job work of stiching of upper of shoes upto jan 2018. Now there are some persons who charge only 5% on this service and my SAC code is 00441480. Please tell me whether i have to charge 18% or 5%.
Reply By KASTURI SETHI:
The Reply:
First of all your SAC code 00441480 is not correct. It pertains to erstwhile Service Tax and it is general code and not for specific service.
Secondly it rate of GST depends upon what type of shoes is being manufactured. Whether upper shoes are meant for sports shoe or other shoes. So pl. let me know your stitching is meant for which type of shoes. Shoes fall under Chapter 64 under GST Tariff Heading Nos. 6401 to 6406.

Say for example. An invoice of Oct-17 has been charged with 28% wrongly instead of 18%, In Jan 18 ,I have given a credit note to the customer for the GST value difference
How can I show this in GSTR 1 .. Can it be shown in B2B amendments…? Will it be ok at par with GSTR 3B Jan 18 in which I had taken only tax effect and not on taxable value since the difference is only on rate of GST..

Hon'ble Mr. Ashok Jindal, Member (Judicial)
Shri G.R. Singh, D.R. – for the appellant
Shri Varun Gaba, Advocate – for the respondent
ORDER
Per Ashok Jindal
Revenue is in appeal against the impugned order.
2. The facts of the case are that for the period 2004-2008, certain audit objections were raised for availment of inadmissible Cenvat credit by the respondent along with interest and proceedings against the respondent were closed. Later on, the respondent filed an application under Voluntarily Compliance Encouragement Scheme, 2013, on 25.9.2013 for the period 2008-2012 for reversal of inadmissible Cenvat credit taken by them. The said declaration was rejected in terms of Section 106(1) of Finance Act, 2013. On appeal, the ld. Commissioner

e in a writ petition filed by the petitioner. Therefore, the same is not applicable to the facts of this case.
4. On the other hand, the ld. Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent reiterated the findings of the impugned order.
5. Heard both sides. Considered the submissions.
6. The short issue involved in the matter is that whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, the provisions of Section 106(1) of Finance Act, 2013 debars the respondent not to take benefit of the scheme or not. Admittedly, for the earlier period, during the course of audit an objection was raised and respondent immediately reversed the Cenvat credit along with interest proceedings against the respondent were closed. The issue raised by the Revenue is that as the order of determination of their service tax liability, therefore, the respondent are not entitled to avail the benefit of Section 106(1) of the Finance Act, 2013. The said issue has been examined by the ld. Commissioner (Appeals) in the i

under Section 73' can be issued only pursuant to the issuance of a Show Cause Notice. The Adjudicating Authority is misconstrued to hold that the audit para of IAR No. 95/08 is an 'order of determination' whereas subsections (3) & (4A) of Section 73 of Finance Act 1994 speak of waiver of Show Cause Notice and without issuance of SCN, no order of determination can be made under Section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994. Further, there is no allegation that pursuant to audit para, proviso to these sub-sections has been invoked against the appellant in respect of the issue of VCES declaration. What is important to note is the admittance of Adjudicating Authority that ' the audit para similar to the issue of VCES declaration stands closed upon payment of entire dues by the appellant along with interest'. Thus, it is an admitted position that no Show Cause Notice has been issued to the appellant in respect of the relevant audit para. When no Show Cause Notice has been issued to the appellant, th

urt that “we are of the view that the payment which has been made and for a past audit objection, for an earlier period cannot be utilised to reject the application as is now made by the present writ petitioner. The application invoking VCES has to be considered and if at all rejected, it must be on the touchstone of the paragraphs of the VCES, 2013 and the wording thereof. The scheme itself cannot be defeated by holding that on the earlier occasion parties like the petitioners have accepted their liability….we allow the writ petition.” The ratio of this judgement is squarely applicable to the instant case. Further, as discussed above, there is no other objection barring the similarity of the issue of VCES declaration to an earlier audit para, which according to the aforecited judgement, is not sustainable. To sum up, I hold that (a) the audit para is not an 'order of determination' under Section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994 (b) Section 106(1) of the Finance Act, 1994 is not invocable

The issue in both the appeals being identical, they are heard together and are disposed by this common order.
2. Brief facts are that the appellants are engaged in the business of providing Tourist Transport Service. They render services mainly to travel agency service and corporate entities. Apart from this, they also render services to the individual clients directly. Based on intelligence that the appellant had not been discharging service tax on the actual value of taxabl

in the business of rent-a-cab service. To fall under the said definition, the control of cab/vehicle should be handed over to the person who hired the cab. In the appellant s case, the vehicle was always under the appellant s control and at no point of time the control has been handed over to other travel agents for their use. The vehicles / cabs were engaged by the other travels agents mostly for the journey of the foreign tourists and also to some extent for domestic clients. The said travel agents send the vehicles to places of visit arranged by them. The vehicles were engaged for the said trip as agreed on kilometer basis and the vehicle was always under the control of the appellant and driven by the appellant s driver and therefore the appellant have only provided transport services. The activity therefore does not fall under the category of rent-a-cab operator service. Accordingly, no service tax can be fixed on the appellant. He relied upon the following case laws:-
a. Commis

en held in favour of the department. That the decision rendered by the Hon'ble High Court of Uttarkhand in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise Vs. Sachin Malhotra (supra) has been rendered without taking note of the earlier decision of the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in the case of Vijay Travels (supra). He submitted that the said decision may be applied to the present case as the facts being the same.
6. Heard both sides.
7. The issue that arises for consideration is whether the activity of providing cab to other travel agents for rendering services to foreign tourist would fall under the definition of rent-a-cab service. The definition of rent-a-cab scheme operator as under section 65(91) is any person engaged in the business of renting of cabs. The Hon'ble High Court in the case of Sachin Malhotra (supra) has analyzed the meaning of Renting . It was held that renting is different from hiring.

4. We find that in the reply to show cause notice, the appellant had specifically stated that during the disputed period, it had received Rs. 50,20,540/- and discharged the Service Tax liability thereon. However, on perusal of the impugned order and also the adjudication order, we find that the authorities below have not discussed the submissions made by the appellant in the reply to the show cause notice.

data post October 2017 indicates that while the quantum of errors is decreasing significantly, exporters are still committing mistakes in the information furnished to (i) GSTN while filing GSTR 1 / Table 6A or GSTR 3B and (ii) Customs EDI system while filing Shipping Bill. The pre-requisites and precautions that need to be taken for successful processing of refund claims are as follows:
(i) Exporters have to file GSTR 3B with taxable value for export and IGST paid against exports indicated in appropriate fields.
(ii) Exporters have to file GSTR 1 or Table 6A for the exports made with correct details such as Invoice number, Taxable value, IGST paid, Shipping Bill number, Shipping Date and Port Code. Large number of exporters have filed incomplete GSTR 1 or Table 6A where shipping bill number or date or port code are missing. These records are not processed / forwarded to Customs by GSTN.

art of exporter while filing GST returns.
(v) Exporters are advised to use Table 9 of GSTR 1 of the following month to amend the records of previous month so as to take care of issues mentioned in paras (ii) and (iii) above. In cases where exporters have already filed information through Table 9 of GSTR 1, the said information is being validated by GSTN. The validated information is expected to be forwarded by GSTN to Customs by mid-March 2018 for further processing.
(vi) The records (i.e GSTR 1 or Table 6A) which have been forwarded by GSTN to Customs after validations mentioned at (ii) and (iii) above are processed by the Customs EDI system. In cases where the information forwarded by GSTN tallies with the information furnished in Shipping bills, refunds are automatically sanctioned by Customs EDI system.

Once the registration is obtained, the exporters can check the status of IGST refunds associated with their exports and the corresponding error message, if any. This enquiry takes GSTIN Number, Port-code and Return Month as inputs and based on the input, Shipping Bill Number, Shipping Bill Date, Return Month, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Response Code and Processed date is displayed as a result of the enquiry. The records displayed are those that have been received from GSTN and processed by the Customs Automated System.
(ix) The analysis of Customs data indicates that while most of the errors mentioned in para (vi) above are decreasing, the error mentioned at (c) in para (vii) is most prevalent. The error mentioned at (c) in para (vii) is about invoice mis-match. This error is because of the fact that exporters are using tw

tails provided in the shipping bill were at variance. It is pertinent to note that refund claims would be processed in only those cases where the error code is mentioned as SB005. Further, it may also be noted that all refunds shall continue to be credited electronically through the PFMS system, and no manual payment / cheque should be issued. The procedure for processing of IGST refund claims in these cases would be as follows:
a. The exporter shall provide a concordance table indicating mapping between GST invoices and corresponding Shipping Bill invoices, as annexed in support of the refund claim to the designated officer in the Custom house. A scanned copy of concordance table may also be sent to dedicated email address of Customs location from where exports took place.
b. Customs EDI system shall display list of all the invoices pertaining to such SBs vis-a-vis the invoice data received from GSTN. The officer shall verify the following:

the system to prevent refund against same invoice in future.
f. Once refund is sanctioned by the officer, the shipping bills would be available for generating scroll as per normal process.
5. In order to ensure smooth operation of the prescribed procedure, a dedicated cell has been opened in the IGST refund Section of ACC, Bangalore. The email id of the dedicated cell is igstaccblr18@gmail.com
6. This procedure is available only for Shipping Bills filed till 31st December 2017. Difficulties, if any, faced in the implementation of this Public Notice may be brought to the notice of this office. It is again emphasized that this Office is taking all possible steps to alleviate the difficulties associated with IGST refunds. However, ultimately it is the responsibility of the exporters to ensure careful and correct filing of returns for hassle free sanction of IGST refunds.

ear, in reality, certainly suppliers insist SEZ units to pay the GST as they initially Had a struggle with LUT, now with refunds. We also observe that unregistered Suppliers do supply to SEZ units without GST, though technically law doesn't allow them without registration. These are the practical issues we have for SEZ units. How about supplies u/s 9(3), if the SEZ unit being the recepient, are they suppose to pay the tax, if so, can they take ITC and go for refund? Please share your thoughts.
