Issues: Whether the refund claim was barred by limitation under Section 11B of the Central Excise Act, 1944 on the ground that the assessment was not provisional and the duty was not paid under protest.
Analysis: In the absence of an order under Rule 9B of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, the assessment could not be treated as provisional. The documents on record also did not show any endorsement that duty had been paid under protest, and the claim to that effect was not substantiated before the Tribunal. On these facts, the statutory bar of limitation applied to the refund claim.
Conclusion: The refund claim was rightly held to be barred by limitation and the rejection of the claim was upheld.
