Issues: Whether unutilized deemed credit not adjusted at the time of clearance of goods was admissible for refund.
Analysis: The appellant had paid duty through the PLA without taking into account the deemed credit available in the credit register. The record, including the Superintendent's verification letter, showed that the invoices reflected net duty after deducting deemed credit and that duty had in fact been debited through the PLA instead of the deemed credit register. The Court relied on the principle that Rule 5 of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2002 does not expressly prohibit refund of unutilized credit, as recognised where the assessee had come out of the credit scheme and no adjustment remained possible. The objection based on non-production of documents was found inconsistent with the verification record.
Conclusion: Unutilized deemed credit was refundable, and the assessee was entitled to relief.
Final Conclusion: The refund claim could not be rejected merely because the credit remained unadjusted, and the matter had to be reconsidered in accordance with the governing legal position.
Ratio Decidendi: Unutilized deemed credit is refundable where the assessee has actually paid duty through the PLA instead of utilizing available credit and no further adjustment is possible, unless the governing rules expressly bar such refund.
