Refund Interest on Composition Scheme Excess Recovery Upheld as Revenue's SLP Fails, HC Directions Remain Operative
SC dismissed the revenue authority's SLP, thereby affirming the HC's direction regarding interest on refund arising from the Composition Scheme benefit extended for September 2020. The Court recorded the revenue's contention that no excess recovery had been made but clarified that this assertion was subject to verification. SC held that, if upon verification any excess recovery is found, the HC's directions for refund with interest shall govern. Thus, the HC's order remained operative, and the departmental challenge to the grant of consequential monetary relief failed.
Issues involved: The issues involved in the judgment are the interpretation of a scheme period, entitlement to interest on excess recovery, and the dismissal of a special leave petition.
Interpretation of scheme period: The Supreme Court declined to interfere in the matter due to the peculiar facts of the case. The respondents sought an extension of the scheme for only one month beyond the original period, which was from March 2020 to August 2020.
Entitlement to interest on excess recovery: The High Court had determined that the respondents were entitled to interest at a rate of 6% per annum on an excess recovery amount of Rs. 11,00,69,010. The Department argued that no excess recovery was made, but acknowledged that verification was necessary. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's direction that if any excess recovery is found, the interest entitlement would prevail.
Dismissal of special leave petition: The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition in light of the above considerations. Any pending applications were also disposed of as a result of the judgment.
