In para 15 of this Article, it has been stated that the merchant exporter cannot avail the input tax credit 0.05%/0.1% and it would be a cost to him. In this regard, reference is drawn to para 13.2 of GST Circular No.37/11/2018 dated 15.03.2018, wherein it has been clarified that the merchant exporter will be eligible to take credit of the tax @ 0.05%/0.1% paid by him.

of refund under Rule 5 and Notification No.27/2012-CE(NT) issued thereunder is the end of the quarter wherein FIRCs are received. The facts of the present case are that the respondents filed refund claim for the quarter July 2012 to September 2012 on 9.7.2013, for April 2013 to June 2013 on 4.3.2014, for July 2013 to September 2013 on 24.6.2014, for October 2013 to December 2013 on 25.9.2014, for April 2014 to June 2014 on 28.3.2014 and for July 2014 to September 2014 on 30.6.2015.

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.

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

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.

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
