5. By the FA 2008 effective from 10th May 2008, an amendment was made in Explanation (c) to Section 67 of the FA 1994 which defined the expression “gross amount charged” as under:-
“(c) “gross amount charged” includes payment by cheque, credit card, deduction from account and any form of payment by issue of credit notes or debit notes and book adjustment, and any amount credited or debited as the case may be, to any account, whether called “Suspense account” or by any other name, in the books of accounts of a person liable to pay service tax, where the transaction of taxable service is with any associated enterprise.”

notice (SCN) dated 24th October 2011 was issued to the Assessee raising a service tax demand of Rs. 39,36,044/- along with interest and penalty. An adjudication order was passed on 28th March 2012 confirming the above demand of tax, interest and penalty against which the Assessee went in appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) who, by the order dated 25th July 2013, dismissed the appeal. The Assessee then went in appeal before the CESTAT which, by the impugned order, has allowed the appeal and set aside the adjudication orders as well as the order in appeal.
9. The CESTAT has, in the impugned order, held that the amendment was made to Section 67 of the FA 1994 as well as Rule 6 of the ST Rules only with effect from 10th May 2008 and not retrospectively. It was noted that the explanation to Rule 6 being prejudicial to the interest of the AE would, therefore, not apply retrospectively.

3. Filing of correct EGM is a must for treating shipping bill or bill of export as a refund claim. Commissioners must ensure that the concerned airlines/shipping lines/carriers file EGM/Export report within prescribed time. Cases which remain in EGM error due to any reason should be followed up to ensure that records are updated at the gateway port, especially for ICDs. Exporters may be advised that they should follow up with their carriers to ensure that correct EGM/export reports are filed in a timely manner.

As a practice, exporters have been declaring details of bank account to Customs for the purpose of drawback etc. There is a possibility that bank account details available with Customs do not match with those declared in the GST registration form. In order to ensure smooth processing and payment of refund of IGST paid on exported goods, it has been decided that said refund amount shall be credited to the bank account of the exporter registered with Customs even if it is different from the bank account of the applicant mentioned in his registration particulars. However, exporters may be advised to either change the bank account declared to Customs to align it with their GST registration particulars or add the account declared with Customs in their GST registration details.
