Issues: Whether interest and penalty were leviable where the assessee filed the return and paid service tax within the period prescribed under section 71A of the Finance Act, 1994.
Analysis: The return was filed within the statutory period allowed under section 71A of the Finance Act, 1994. The earlier Supreme Court ruling on recipients of GTO and C & F Agents' service was applied to hold that assessees who paid the tax within the time granted under the statute were not liable to interest or penalty. Since the assessee had complied within the prescribed time, the demand for interest and the consequential penalty could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The demand of interest and the imposition of penalty were held unsustainable and were set aside in favour of the assessee.
