Service tax compliance failures led to extensive non levy, recovery pendency and misuse of Cenvat credit, prompting audit action. Audit of service tax administration reveals extensive non levy, short levy and non recovery across multiple service categories, significant pendency of adjudication and recovery cases, numerous fraud/presumptive fraud detections with partial demand and poor penalty collection, and widespread incorrect Cenvat credit claims (including excess utilisation, ineligible credits and pre entitlement claims). Audit-led observations produced quantified revenue implications and prompted targeted amendments to rules and the Act, while departmental action has included issuance of show cause notices and partial recoveries.
