Claiming Interest on Excise Duty Paid Under Protest: Challenges and Considerations Post-Supreme Court Ruling A party inquired about claiming interest on excise duty paid under protest from 2000 to 2017, following a Supreme Court decision in their favor. One response highlighted that interest is not typically granted unless claimed in the initial appeal, suggesting the issue should have been raised earlier. Another response explained that interest typically accrues after a specified period post-judgment, not retroactively. The final response advised checking the Supreme Court's order for specific mentions of interest. The consensus was that pursuing interest might be challenging but not impossible. (AI Summary)
