Per B. Ravichandran,
These two appeals are against common impugned order dated 25.11.2010 of Commissioner, LTU, Chennai.
2. The appellants are engaged in the manufacture of excisable goods. They were in the process of setting up of manufacturing facility in Semmankuppam, Cuddalore. In this connection, they have availed various services by different service providers. The substantial dispute in the present appeals relate to eligibility of the appellant to avail such credits on these various inpu

ubstantially on the ground that the documents on which such credits were availed were addressed to Radha Nagar office in Cuddalore. This office is neither registered with the Department nor recognized by them. The submission of the appellant is that the Semmankuppam manufacturing facility was being set up at that time. For managing the operation of setting up, they have opened an office nearby in Radha Nagar office which managed such operations. Hence on this technicality, credits cannot be disallowed. Further, on the same reasoning, the Head Office also issued documents like ISD invoices addressed to Radha Nagar office. The services were in fact used while in setting up of the Semmankuppam factory cannot be denied as asserted by the appellant. In fact, the denial of credit is not on this ground. The Revenue inferred that these credits cannot be allowed as these were not addressed to Semmankuppam as the activities were claimed to be relating to setting up of the said factory. Going by

ara 7.1, invoices with reference to one Karaikal unit of the appellant was mistakenly availed and the credit on this issue was reversed later. All other invoices were with reference to Semmankuppam factory. Certain credit was denied on the ground that the documents were not eligible documents. These were debit notes, work orders containing all the relevant particulars as claimed by the appellant. Credit can be availed by the service recipient if the documents issued contain all the essential requirement of Rule 9 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. In fact, the said rule provides for certain discretion to the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner which can also be exercised to such satisfaction of the conditions.
6. Credits in certain cases were also denied on the ground that the appellant did not pay the full consideration for the services received. The ld. counsel submitted that for certain service providers they have retained some portion of the invoice amount as security, however, they

ORDER
Per: Anil Choudhary
The issue in this appeal is, whether the refund claim of the appellant has rightly been rejected by the court below.
2. The brief facts of the case are that the appellant is a producer of hybrid seeds of Paddy, Cotton, Mustered, Millett, etc. which are, thereafter, sold to various agencies, including Government Agencies for Agricultural Purposes. The appellant engaged one sales agent namely M/s R. K. Agencies located at Lucknow. By taking the service of the said M/s R. K. Agencies, they sold hybrid seeds to Government of U. P. – Agricultu

on 66D specifically excludes services by a commission agent for sale or purchase of agricultural produce. Accordingly, the appellant applied for refund of the Service Tax wrongly paid, on 12th March, 2014. The said refund application was returned by the Department on 31st March, 2014 stating that the appellant was not registered with the Service Tax Department.
3. Thereafter the appellant again filed and submitted the refund claim on the 21st April, 2014, pursuant to which Show Cause Notice dated 17th July, 2014 was issued. The SCN was adjudicated on contest and the refund claim was rejected on the grounds:-
claim is barred by limitation under section 11B of the Central Excise Act, as it is filed on 21st April, 2014 and clause (a-e) of explanation B of Section 11B provides that the relevant date to compute the time-limit of one year in the case of goods which are exempted from payment of duty, by a special order, the date of such order. As the appellant had deposited Rs. 81,807/- on

ed to observe that the ratio of the judgment of the case of Flock (India) Pvt. Ltd. (supra) is squarely applicable and, accordingly, was pleased to reject the refund claim.
6. Aggrieved by the said order, the appellant is before this Tribunal. The learned counsel for the appellant states that reliance has been placed by Commissioner (Appeals) on the ruling in the case of Flock (India) Pvt. Ltd. (supra), is misplaced. He points out from the finding of the Apex Court when it is observed that – the question that is raised is – there is little scope for doubt that in case where an adjudicating authority has passed an order which is appealable under the statute, and the party aggrieved did not chose to exercise the statutory right of filing appeal, it is not open to the party to question the correctness of the order of the authority subsequently, by filing a claim for refund on the ground that the adjudicating authority had committed an error in passing his order.

Mystery of “Time of supply” under JDA Unveiled!
By: – Pragya Rajpurohit
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 30-1-2018

Introduction:
Real Estate is an important part of the economy and is accountable for extensive part of development investment, advancement of the nation's infrastructure. The taxation of the real estate segment has also been challenging and litigated in many aspects. There are many open issues in relation to the determination of point of taxation and valuation under both direct and indirect taxes. In this article I have dealt with the determination of time of supply in case of issue of development rights and supply of construction service as consideration under a joint development agreement.
In a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) the land owner gives development rights to the developer/builder to develop the land owned by the landowner. The built up area of the complex shall be shared by the land owner and the builder upon an agreed ratio. The develop

the land owner by entering into a conveyance deed or similar instrument (e.g. allotment letter)”.
Time of Supply under GST:
Section 13 of the CGST Act, 2017 deals with the provisions relating to the determination of time of supply of services. The time of supply shall be
* Date of issue of invoice or the date of receipt of payment whichever is earlier
* In cases where the invoice is not issued within 30 days of completion of service, it shall be the date of completion of service or the date of receipt of payment whichever is earlier.
* In cases where the time of supply cannot be determined as per the above two clauses, then it shall be the date on which the recipient shows the receipt of services in his books of accounts.
Further it is also relevant to refer to the following definition of “continuous supply of service” under Section 2 (33) of the Act and Section 31 (5) dealing with issue of invoices.
“continuous supply of services” means a supply of services which is provided

e builder is a continuous supply of service. It may be observed that clauses (a) and (b) of sub section (2) of section 13 are not applicable in this case, as neither any invoice is raised by the builder on landowner, nor any payment received. As per clause (c) the time at which the landowner shows the receipt of service in his books of accounts would be the time of supply. If the landowner is retaining such units for his own use, he would recognise the same as his capital assets and if the landowner is going to again sell such units, he would recognise the same as his stock in trade. So it can be taken that the builder would be liable to pay GST at the time, when the landowner recognises the receipt of units from the builder. However from builder's point of view it would be very difficult to conclude when the landowner recognises receipt of service. Thus the determination of time of supply was no less than a mystery.
These confusions have been resolved by Notification No. 4/2018-Centr

The appellant is aggrieved by the order dt. 31.12.2007 of Commissioner of Service Tax, Chennai.
2. By the impugned order, the original authority confirmed service tax liabilities on the appellant with reference to Cargo Handling Service, Business Auxiliary Service and Goods Transport Agent Services for the period 16.08.2002 to 31.03.2006. Further, certain cenvat credit availed by the appellant on input services were also ordered to be reversed.

ight. “Currency adjustment factor” is a fee collected as a percentage of ocean freight to meet the fluctuation in foreign exchange; “Delivery order fee” is collected from the client to issue delivery order; “Courier charges are” for cost incurred in couriering the documents connected to the shipment; Break bulk fee is for desegregation of cargo. This amount is collected by the liners and charged to the importers; “Freight income” is towards the freight paid by the counterpart in originating country which is collected to the importer with a margin. This margin is shared between logistic company outside India and the appellant; “Transportation charges” again incurred by the counterpart in foreign country for bringing the cargo to the port of export which is collected from the client in India.

when the matter was pointed out by the officers. Accordingly, praying for invoking provisions of Section 80, Id. Counsel pleaded for setting aside the penalties.
4. The Ld. A.R supports the findings of the lower authorities. He submitted that the appellants are involved in a range of activities which will fall in the overall ambit of “Cargo Handling Service”. The services provided by the appellants are mainly with reference to import cargo and some of the aspects of their activity will specifically fall under such tax entry, though the appellants are engaged in end-to-end operation in clearing the cargo and delivering the same. Regarding non-contest issues, the Id. A.R submitted that the amount was paid only after being pointed out by the officers. Accordingly, the penal consequences will follow. It is also submitted that in respect of reversal of credit, there is no evidence of payment of interest for delayed reversal.
5. We have heard both sides and perused the appeal records.

Regarding tax liability under BAS for incentives received from liners, we note that the matter stands settled by the Tribunal decision in the case of Bax Global India Ltd Vs CST Chennai vide Final order No.42113/2017 dt. 18.092017. Following the said ratio, we hold that service tax liability of the appellant on this issue cannot sustain.
8. Regarding admitted and paid liabilities on GTA service and ineligible cenvat credit, we note that the amounts have been paid before issue of show cause notice. The fact of payment of interest on delayed reversal of credit needs to be verified by the authorities below. Wherever applicable such interests are to be paid by the appellant which the counsel fairly concedes. She submitted that on factual verification of non-payment of inter
