Issues: Whether refund of unutilised CENVAT credit could be denied in respect of business support service, scientific and technical consultancy service, and renting of immovable property on the ground that those services had no nexus with the exported output service.
Analysis: The services in question were found to be directly or indirectly connected with the appellant's business as a service provider. Business support service was used for payroll processing, scientific and technical consultancy service was used for testing the software developed by the appellant, and renting of immovable property was incurred for the premises from which the output service was provided. The definition of input service was applied broadly, and the impugned services were treated as falling within that expression in the light of the settled interpretative approach to input services.
Conclusion: The denial of refund was unsustainable, and the refund claim was held admissible, subject to verification of invoices by the adjudicating authority.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded, and the order rejecting part of the sanctioned refund was set aside with a direction for invoice verification.
Ratio Decidendi: Services having a direct or indirect business nexus with the provision of output service qualify as input services for refund purposes under the CENVAT credit scheme.
