<h1>Tribunal Grants Refund on Membership Fees, Insurance, and Cess</h1> <h3>M/s. BNY Mellon Technology Pvt. Ltd. Versus Commissioner of GST & Central Excise Chennai</h3> M/s. BNY Mellon Technology Pvt. Ltd. Versus Commissioner of GST & Central Excise Chennai - TMI Issues:1. Rejection of refund claim for membership fee2. Rejection of refund claim for insurance services3. Rejection of refund claim for Krishi Kalyan CessAnalysis:1. The appellant filed a Rule 5 refund claim for credit availed on input services used for exporting output services. The original authority rejected the claim for certain services. The Commissioner (Appeals) allowed credit for input services except for membership fees, insurance services, and Krishi Kalyan Cess. The appellant appealed the decision. The consultant argued that membership fee to NASSCOM was necessary for market awareness and legal compliance. Citing a precedent, the Tribunal allowed credit for membership fees, overturning the rejection.2. The rejection of refund claim for insurance services was based on policies covering directors and officers' liability. The consultant argued that such policies indemnify against losses due to wrong decisions. Referring to a relevant case, the Tribunal found the rejection unjustified and set it aside, allowing the refund for insurance services.3. The rejection of refund claim for Krishi Kalyan Cess was due to alleged non-debiting in ST-3 returns. The consultant presented evidence showing the appellant had debited the amount. Upon verification, the Tribunal found the rejection erroneous and set it aside. Consequently, the impugned order was overturned for all three issues, granting the appeals with any consequential relief.
