Tribunal orders refund of Rs. 40,21,173/-, finding rejection of claim illegal
The Tribunal found the rejection of the refund claim to be illegal and granted the refund of Rs. 40,21,173/- to the Appellant, who was entitled to exemption from Anti Dumping Duty on the purchased goods. The adjudicating authority was directed to disburse the amount within 45 days with 6% interest per annum. The appeal was allowed, emphasizing the rightful entitlement to the refund under the law.
Issues: The issue in this appeal is whether the claim of refund of Anti Dumping Duty, filed under Section 27(1) (b) of the Act has been rightly rejected.
Summary:
Issue 1: Refund of Anti Dumping Duty The Appellant, engaged in manufacturing High Pressure Gas Cylinders, filed a refund claim for Anti Dumping Duty paid by the Importer on Seamless Steel Tubes. The Adjudicating Authority rejected the claim citing the Country of Origin and final assessment of Bills of Entry. The Appellant contended that under Exclusion Clause No. (VI) of Notification No. 7/2017-Cus, goods used for manufacturing gas cylinders are exempt from Anti Dumping Duty.
Issue 2: Rejection of Refund Claim The Appellant purchased the imported goods from the Importer who had paid the Anti Dumping Duty. The Appellant, a manufacturer of gas cylinders approved by the Chief Controller of Explosives, filed the refund claim within the stipulated time. Despite addressing deficiencies in the claim, the refund was rejected on the grounds of final assessment and lack of appeal.
Judgment: The Tribunal found the rejection of the refund claim to be illegal and against Section 27 (1) (b) of the Act. As the Appellant was entitled to exemption from Anti Dumping Duty on the purchased goods, the refund of Rs. 40,21,173/- was granted. The adjudicating authority was directed to disburse the amount within 45 days with 6% interest per annum. The appeal was allowed, emphasizing the rightful entitlement to the refund under the law.
