Time limit on Refund of Service Tax

[Srivatsan Krishnamachari]

Dear Learned Friends,

I understand that in case of a refund on account of cancelation of contract and advance received returned to client; the time limit as per Section 11-B is not applicable. Can I please be provided with any CESTAT ruling or case laws in this regard.

Thanks and With Regards,

K.Srivatsan
