of <h1>Tribunal allows refund claim, deems demand unsustainable, overturns Commissioner ruling</h1> <h3>M/s Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Thane-I</h3> M/s Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Thane-I - TMI Issues:1. Rejection of the refund order2. Confirmation of demand of the refund sanctionedAnalysis:Issue 1: Rejection of the refund orderThe appellant, engaged in construction and commissioning of transmission lines, executed a project known as the 'Talcher Project' approved by the Government of India. Due to a delay in receiving a loan from the World Bank, the appellant deposited the entire amount of terminal excise duty benefit. Subsequently, upon receiving the loan, the appellant filed a refund claim, which was initially sanctioned but later challenged by the Revenue. The appellant contended that the delay in receiving the loan necessitated the deposit and subsequent refund claim, which was supported by previous Tribunal judgments in similar cases. The Tribunal, considering these precedents, observed that the payment made by the appellant was rightly treated as a deposit and the claim for refund was rightly entertained without reference to time-bar provisions. The Tribunal upheld the appellant's contention and set aside the rejection of the refund order.Issue 2: Confirmation of demand of the refund sanctionedFollowing the rejection of the refund order, a demand notice was issued to the appellant for the refund amount sanctioned and paid to them. The Revenue challenged the refund sanction, leading to an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) who ruled in favor of the Revenue, confirming the demand. However, the Tribunal, after considering the previous Tribunal decisions and the circumstances of the case, found no infirmity in the appellant's claim for refund. The Tribunal allowed the appeals, setting aside the impugned orders and providing consequential relief as per law. Consequently, the demand for the refund amount was deemed unsustainable, and the appeals were allowed in favor of the appellant.This detailed analysis of the judgment highlights the issues of rejection of the refund order and confirmation of the demand of the refund sanctioned, providing a comprehensive overview of the legal proceedings and the Tribunal's decision in each aspect of the case.
