Tribunal overturns order, allows appeal due to unjust rejection of Chartered Accountant certificate.
The Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal, emphasizing that the rejection of the Chartered Accountant certificate was unjustified as all necessary documents had been previously submitted. The appellant successfully reconciled the figures with the certificate, leading to the conclusion that the impugned order lacked merit. The matter was remanded for reconciliation of figures with the submission of a C.A. certified statement, granting any consequential relief as per law.
Issues: Appeal against Order-in-Appeal No. MKK/684/RGD APP/2017 dated 31.03.2018 passed by the Commissioner of Central Excise & Service Tax (Appeals), Raigad.
Analysis: The appellant provided taxable services under various categories during 2006-07 to 2008-09. Discrepancies between the balance sheet and ST-3 Returns led to a demand notice for recovery of &8377; 5,23,132/- with interest and penalty. After adjudication, the demand was upheld. The appellant's appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) was rejected, prompting an appeal to the Tribunal. The Tribunal remanded the matter for reconciliation of figures, which was confirmed with interest and penalty by both lower authorities. The appellant contended that the balance-sheet amount was gross, while ST-3 returns reflected the actual received amount. A Chartered Accountant (C.A.) certificate was submitted post-remand to support this claim, but was rejected for lack of supporting documents. The Tribunal found fault with this rejection, noting that all necessary documents were previously submitted, forming the basis of the show-cause notices. Consequently, the rejection of the C.A. certificate was deemed unjustified.
The Tribunal's earlier direction for reconciliation was reiterated, emphasizing the submission of a C.A. certified statement. Despite the rejection of the C.A. certificate by lower authorities due to missing supporting documents, the Tribunal found the rejection baseless as all relevant documents had been previously provided. The Tribunal concluded that since the appellant successfully reconciled the figures with the C.A. certificate, the impugned order lacked merit. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed with any consequential relief as per law.
